Did you consider a K5 GT when you were shopping? If so what were main drivers of you choosing Sonata over K5?
@chilldadreviews8 ай бұрын
Yes I did look at the K5! I chose the Sonata instead because I think the exterior and interior look far better than the K5, it didn't have that wow factor for me!
@kellyaustin74877 ай бұрын
I chose the K5 because of the style and the fact that it has rear ac/heat vents. The Hyundai was a close second but didn't cross the finish line.

Hi, I just purchased the same color as yours. Quick question though, at 4:53, I noticed you have a trunk liner. I optioned for the carpeted mats and also the all weather mats, but there wasn't a liner in the trunk. Was that an option that you went for, or does the car come with that and my dealer just forgot to put it in? Thanks and great video. Having a big wreck, like you did ,can mess with you. It takes a little time to get over it.
@chilldadreviews8 ай бұрын
Thank you I appreciate it! That's awesome enjoy the car. It was part of the carpet mats cost that came with the car, I would definitely talk to your dealer.
@Iwannadrive7 ай бұрын
Some cars are shipped with it as an option, some aren't. Your window sticker will tell you if it was supposed to be on your car. Mine came with it, plus a first aid kit, roadside emergency kit, cargo net, and wheel locks. Even the floor mats are added cost.

Been considering this car since it was released in South Korea early last year. It's unfortunate that the US version doesn't get many of the features available in SK (turning signal blindspot cameras, rear passenger sun visors, rear passenger climate control, ventilated seats, remote control summon, finger print unlock). That being said, I'll probably still pick this up over the Camry and Accord

I’m glad you weren’t injured too bad in that wreck. Great video. I’m pretty sure I want to buy this Sonata N-line in their red color. All I need to do is test drive one. Most of the reviews I’ve watched on them don’t say where they are at. They would show features I didn’t notice before, and I was confused why some had certain features but others didn’t. I finally learned that the ones in the U.S. don’t have all the features. And I just learned in these comments that the U.S. ones don’t have the cool light show like I’ve seen in some night videos. I’m disappointed about that!

@chilldadreviews Everyone knows that the North American market always gets the shorthand of the stick when it comes to features. It's cost related and tariffs costs and politics talk. I'm sure the Korean market wants to give us all the fancy features. But unfortunately, it's not their call. It's goes the same way with American domestic cars when it's ships overseas. They will lose some features when it hit their shores.
@chilldadreviews8 ай бұрын
I don't think everyone knows this! However my previous 2017 Kia Optima had all these features so it's just odd to remove them from a premium model.
@jraheemjefcoat4298 ай бұрын
@chilldadreviews What trim level was your 2017 Kia Optima? I had a 2012 EX with all the bells and whistles. But it wasn't a turbo charge engine. That could be the trade-off based on trim levels. There's a pattern with the US market vehicles. If you want performance, you will have to lose some of the creature comforts. If you have a base engine or hybrid, the luxury features are added on based on trim level and packaging.

Nice review. You mentioned quickly that the car is FWD only, which to me is the biggest mistake hyundai/kia has made on this car. For some reason, AWD is available on the 190hp trim, but not available on the top trim. Very disappointing for those of us who live in places where winter hits hard.
