Worst car I have owned
I have owned a 2021 Sonata N-line for about 10 month. The car has a fairly good design and features, but the build quality is extremely horrible, as well as the material quality. Huge safety concerns and reliability concerns, I am more nervous driving this car than driving my old Grand AM that with over 350K on it. The driver seat was faulty in a few months, had it replaced. The lumbar support activates by itself when I was driving. Very very scary, like a ghost was pushing you while you were driving. Reminds me of the earthquake I had experienced, exactly the same feeling. Only if you has experienced in a earthquake understand how scary that is, when sitting on a office chair, the chair moves unpredictably, and carrying you with it. In winter, the transmission was slow on my first couple of brakes, when I hit the brake to a stop, the rev drops below 500rpm, and the car shakes really bad, then the clutch releases when the engine nearly comes to a stall, this happened everyday in winter. Engine lights was on in 10 months. I had experienced twice when accelerating, there was a feeling of losing power all of a sudden for a few seconds. Other than these critical issues, there are also lots of fit issues from the interior to the exterior. squeaking noise on the trunk mechanism when the weather is cold. High pitch whistling noise from passenger side cruising at over 120 km/h with recirculation on due to either HVAC or seal issue, I had to give up AC on highway driving in Summer. Hyundai Dealer refuse to diagnose this issue because I am not suppose to drive over the speed limit which is about 100km/h in Canada, so, lesson learned, Hyundai is designed for 100km/h, any issues related to speed over that, not covered by their warranty. There are more to say, but I am tired. lots of fits issues, to me looked like the entire body frame may get weld out of tolerance, the left and right side are definitely not symmetrical.

Annoying, average
I drove this model for about 1700 miles across very different places in California, a rental. It surely compares well against western cars, but they do not set the standards, even the luxury ones. My own car is a Kia 2019, it has very similar mileage, same comfort but much better technology. This sonata model safety features is a like a nagging girlfriend or mom rushing to start moving when the car ahead start moving when the stop lights turn green, which is not really the safest and best choice. It won't stop "suggesting" to stop to relax for a coffee break after driving like a hundred miles, which would not relax me at all as the night falls or the day just passes by, things to do, while I would just be sitting drinking coffee in some place I never cared to stop. Have no idea why that'd be relaxing. Lazy people may well like that, which there are plenty of. That's all the safety features I noticed in the car. My Kia doesn't nagg. Instead, it has very useful side lights in the mirrors warning about incoming vehicles in the blind spots. Sonata was unable to connect to my iPod, I had to connect my iPod a radio interfering device, which obviously did not work in most places. A lot of fun screwed. My Kia, and former Honda cars, do connect well to devices. It would've been a nightmare to buy this brand new car of moderate price just to get a naggy junk that does not do what I want or would like to get, instead just naggs on and on.

Living up to expectations...and then some.
This car (Sonata N Line) delivers the power and precision that I was looking for in a sports sedan. The sound of the engine and the crispness of the steering is extremely compelling and fun. This car is so very much worth the money and the attention it should get.
