If I can't get a handicap spot or a spot far away sometimes someone will park right next to me and I can't get in the car. This feature would solve that parking issue.

Nathan, you do the best reviews on vehicles that people actually can afford and the manufacturer sells a lot of 👍

[@Da1Apprentice]

I got my wife a CPO SEL Plus with the convenience and the technology package, 7k miles for $23k all in. The value is awesome, and I do agree with a lot of your likes and dislikes. The design does make it very fuel-efficient (37 MPG average) which is what creates the number one and only thing that bugs me about that beauty so far. When it's pouring heavy rain, either the wipers are too slow, even when set at the highest speed, or the windshield is too much at an angle which causes water to not flow quickly enough. It seems, at least to me, that water tends to just sit there. lol

[@OpFatty]

How did you get such a good price

[@Da1Apprentice]

​@@OpFatty Since you asked, I should not leave your question unanswered. One may call that luck, but I say It was God's favor upon my wife and me. We asked, then he answered. Let me tell you this which may help you understand better. I looked for the car nationwide so I could compare the price to my home state (Florida). The most affordable one was in Maryland and was about $9K lower than the most affordable one in Florida, about 500 miles away. Despite my suspicions, I got in touch with the dealer, and my wife, back in forth, trying to schedule a day to go see the car. The following day, I was informed someone had applied for the car. A little frustrated, I must admit, I kept browsing the internet for that specific car and color. At the time, as a truck driver, I was somewhere in the Midwest heading Northeast to drop a load in Illinois, and a fellow trucker asked me if I could help by swapping loads for his was running late. I did not hesitate and did not ask any questions; I agreed just because he needed help. The same day we swapped our loads, I got a call from the dealer telling me the person did not get approved for the car, and I could still come and see it. Without hesitation, I said yes. I then started to plan my trip in a way to get there the following day. Now, remember the load I swapped? Well, that load I picked up was heading to Maryland 8 miles away from the dealer. I flew my wife the same day there so she could drive it home. I hope you read it all and understood.

I got a ride home in one of these and I was seriously impressed. Funny you mention the touchy brakes because I have an issue with how touchy the throttle is on my Elantra. It's not a problem per se. It's just not calibrated all that well.

The Sonata SEL Plus is more comparable to the K5 GT line both from a content perspective and price. Plus it has rear sent vents the K5 doesn't. A GT Line is missing a lot of content the Limited has for the extra money it costs.

I love my 2021 Hyundai sonata hybrid, some problems to address now to anyone that has this car is to be careful when adjusting the steering wheel. You can damage the worm gear easily and its a problem Hyundai is addressing right now so that they can make an better design for it and perhaps switch them out in the future.

I love seeing these videos from Nathan because our tastes are so similar. Bought my Sonic partly from the video you did on it. It certainly is a cheap thrill. Just graduated and looking to upgrade. The sonata is good but I think the K5 is a better driver's car. Also, the AWD is really nice in CO. I think the K5 looks better too and to me, the front of the Sonata looks like a whale shark, unattractive. I'm glad you touched on the brakes because that's an issue I have when I drive my Dad's Kohna N-line. The brakes are too sensitive for a daily driver that isn't a sports car. Once you adjust it's fine.

Surprised myself but I don't regret it. I swapped the P-Zero All-Seasons for PS4S's just because. It does the practical things I need it to do with some fun thrown in.

Dude... I would love to have all that power the 2.5T delivers. Has the DCT been annoying?

[@ronnymb67]

@@dougn2350 Not at all. Normal mode is more like Eco. Upshifts to higher gears quicker and softer. Sport is more like a Smart Mode. Drive sedately and it will behave sedately. Jump on it and it will downshift quickly and punch you in the back on upshifts. It's fine at low speeds. As much as I wasn't thrilled about the push-button shifter, it's become muscle memory. I don't even look at it any more. I'm closing in on six months and clicked off 8500 miles today. No offense to all the KZbin reviewers but I'm not somebody who lived with the car for a couple of days or a week, or took it on a 15-minute test drive. I've driven it through rain, sunny days, throwing it around winding roads, jumped on it and stomped on the brakes more than a few times. I ran down a 5.7 liter Charger weeks before Sam Car Legion's video with the K5 GT. As much to my amazement as well as the guy in the Charger, who followed me off the highway to ask what was in it.

@@ronnymb67 ... from what you described you're obviously a car guy. I have a '21 Sonata SEL 2.5 smartstream no turbo. But I'm satisfied with the power and especially the fuel economy on long trips. No speed demon but it keeps me happy enough. A guy at work has a '15 Escalade. For fun we raced from a stop light to 50mph. The Sonata was a car length ahead by the time we hit 50. Needless to say he was a little pissed because he hates Asian (especially Korean) cars. It's June 2022 and finding a new Sonata at hyundai dealership is almost impossible. When I bought mine in Nov of 2021 they had over 40 to choose from and I got a really good deal. $22k on a $28k sticker. Good deals are gone. Some dealers are upcharging. Anyway, best of luck to you! Live it up while we can.

Great review Nathan! I just got the Limited myself. I’ve had a few Sonatas: 2013, 2015, 2018, and now 2021. I love the car overall lots new features like: blind spot cameras when using the turn signals, 360 view camera for parking, Heads Up Display, Bose surround stereo, more comfortable seats, digital key tech, etc. It’s crazy but I miss the sunglass holder by the rear view mirror and my XM channel presets sort by number ordered my order. Hopefully the preset issue can be resolved with a software update. Overall the 2021 Sonata Limited offers the best value, safety and innovative features, and tech for your money!

[@marks6777]

I waited for 6 months for my 2020 Limited (white) to come out and got one with the first 2 weeks. I love the vehicle with a few exceptions you mostly have noted, except for the hesitation in the turbo kicking in prior to acceleration, sometimes worse than others, such as in fast starts. I also wish that the drive mode would not default to normal every time it's restarted. And now I just updated the navigation/head unit firmware for the first time and they completely ruined the interface which affects the whole system (all the other display features. Gone is the split screen where you have a choice of 3 feature to display on the home screen (e.g. Map/Radio/Weather). It looks like something a 3 year old would design, with a lot of the nice features no longer available. The radio information screen is a retro design. If I had wanted a retro vehicle I would have bought one. Are we going backward for forward now. I wanted a somewhat futuristic vehicle, which is what I though I bought. Had I know about the interface changes to the unit I would have skipped the update (and there's no way of rolling it back) and just used android auto if I really had to depend on a map. I came across plenty of other similar complaints about it but everything I've seen states they're not going to do anything to change it. It's already been updated again since with nothing brought back. Besides all this, the update took over 4 hours, which I had to leave the car running as to not drain the battery, and then screwed up my navigation system. I can't set any of it's features or even pull up the map. Saw several of the same complaints, one with the exact same problem as mine. After the dealer tried and couldn't fix it for a few months they finally had to replaced his head unit to resolve the problem. With the new firmware, or course. I know your original post is fairly dated but, if you see this, just wondered if you updated the firmware for your unit and if so, your thoughts and opinion of it. If you haven't, PLEASE read up about ALL THE COMPLAINTS online before you do since there's no way to reverse it.

[@liongoodwin1568]

But I agree, either the first or second gear jumps a bit. Also when you remove your foot off the gas after accelerating at higher speeds, it feels like it kind of jerks a bit then too, when it should just be coasting at that point.

[@liongoodwin1568]

I don't know if any one else experiences this, but I feel like theres a bit of lag when accelerating from a zero stop. It feels a bit jerky when accelerating at low speeds as if the transmission isn't changing gears smoothly enough when coming off from the first or second gear. It sort of jumps or jerks when I'm going from soft pressure to harder pressure on the pedal, even if im applying the pressure gradually.. Idk if I'm making sense, but has anyone else experienced this? I can't seem to tell if this is just apart of the new 1.6t engine, if this is normal for the 2021-22 sonatas, or if this is just turbo lag.. but I used to have a 2013 hyundai sonata 2.0 turbo, and I never had this issue.

I'm not a fan of this car by any means. The first time I saw this car in broad daylight I was like that front end is ugly as hell! Then about 2 nights ago I saw it on the highway and when I saw the taillights lit from afar, I thought it was an NSX or something special like that so I sped up to catch up and see it up close. When I got up to it, I was blown away how sexy it looked at night, the taillights, the side profile but those damn headlights just kill me. Damn shame whoever designed it just killed it with those ugly headlights but it does look really sexy at night. Almost looks like a coupe with that duck tail. Another thing I saw here I didn't like was the button style shifter and the fact it's FWD, but a plus is its DCT transmission. That along with the torque on this thing should make it fun car to drive.

Loved everything about this beautiful car until I found out that they downgraded the motor to a 1.6 turbo as opposed to the 2.5 GDI. It is a shame as this is Pretty car with a sub par engine. The engine is worse than the base model which gets the 2.5GDI. Who the hell wants a 1.6 turbo compared to a 2.5L. the 1.6 liter turbo belongs in the base Elantra or a hybrid. Not in the Limited spec

Go for the N line ! 290hp 2.5 turbo ;)

35k maybe I'll get the ct4

Good to Finance and I wouldn’t want to keep it

Hyundai has been going downhill lately. For me, the style has been getting uglier and uglier with each new generation.

[@maga6319]

it looks good kid

[@b.f.378]

Yea they're going a lil overboard with the styling now. They're getting way too cocky now cause people are taking them a lil more serious now lol

[@603me.]

I've always preferred the more conservative looks of the 5th gen. It had more useful space too. I once fit a full size Boston rocking chair inside the cabin by laying down the front passenger seat.

Have you seen Toyotas the last 30 years?

[@AHungryHunky]

I'm actually liking Hyundai's new styling, I prefer when automakers aren't so conservative with their vehicles. I understand I'm most likely in a minority here

[@Skyhawk1987Turbo]

No no on the front end, it’s ugly

[@atmartens]

You’re right. It does look different. Looks like a cat fish with an ugly chrome strip. Toyota, Honda, Subaru and even the Kia version look better.

[@GoLakers3900]

That's what he said.

I don't like the looks. Grills that look like animal teeth turn me off. I like the Honda Insight and Nissan Sentra for looks. The Mazda 6 is a good looking affordable car at the same price.

[@willstaxx0730]

I went to the Dealer today just to look at the sonota and I was impressed car looks soo different the rear is fire 🔥 loved it. I got inside the limited I just Kept saying wow to myself. The interior is impeccable. Let’s go Hyundai!! For less than 40k u ain’t getting nothing better.. I want to get one ☝️ but I’m going back & fourth I like the SEL PLUS with the tech package. And the limited. The sel plus has a beautiful sporty look to it. And the limited has that lustrous dark gray with camel.

[@andrewjones4774]

U have no taste then. It looks cool and advanced and sporty

[@njwags95]

Drivers seat bolster already worn out...you get what you pay for...

[@GoLakers3900]

Upgrade your phone from Moto G LCD screen to a Galaxy running WQHD+ 3200 x 1440. I suppose you get what your pay for.

[@marcusblackmon1080]

This car is super ugly AF

[@tails300]

I still think this car is ugly as sin 🤢.
