Fun to drive, technologically advanced…maybe too advanced
Driving the car for less than three months so far and it is quite enjoyable. It has better acceleration and driving response than the 2019 Hyundai Sonata Limited I was previously driving. It feels lighter and more nimble in every way. The miles per gallon is slightly better as well (but I only have 1400 miles on it so far). I have received many compliments on the overall styling, and the wheel rim design specifically.
As far as things I do not like and would like to see improved: 1. A larger gas tank. Going from an 18+ gallon tank to a 15.9 gallon tank is still an uncomfortable change. 2. The interior is listed as light grey but it really is closer to an ivory white. Lighter shades are desirable given the high amounts of sunshine where I live. But such a light color leaves it susceptible to getting dirty very easily. 3. I despise having to log in every time I turn the car on. Consider allowing a default boot up setting. DO NOT go to using facial recognition. 4. I much prefer the volume and station control being on the left side of the steering wheel. If I am driving with only one hand on the wheel, it is mostly my left. And if I am adjusting anything, it is mostly the music and not the cruise control. 5. I miss being able to lock my doors using the button on the inside of the driver’s side door when exiting and leaving the car. 6. CarPlay has had issues properly connecting or remaining connected on about four different occasions. I cannot figure out if there is a common cause to this happening. 7. It would be nice if there was a shallow tray that could be moved/removed from the storage space under the armrest, rather than just the deep and long space that is there. 8. I am disappointed that other features for the car can only be accessed through the app. I will not download the app due to distrust of companies tracking, collecting personalized data, and then selling or misusing that data. I am already unhappy with the extent that Apple and Google do it (and others), and do not want more on board. 9. Why is the key fob so big? That would be much better if half the size. 10. The back edge of the hood is too close to the windshield wipers. The wipers cannot be lifted off of the windshield to a full extension.
