After the refresh they’ve caught my interest but I don’t wanna go just off looks. Does anyone have problems so far?
It has a cool cyberpunk vibe which I really like. I might buy this car just for the look. But I have a Toyota for a reason.

I had four Toyotas, they’re useful but kind of boring.

I get that, but I need reliability since I drive long distances for work.

Don’t get me wrong, I still have a RAV4 and it’s a good vehicle but not thrilling. Our Elantra is fun to drive and has better tech. We are lucky to have options.

I drive Hyundais for my job, mainly Elantras and Sonatas, and yes, they are a blast to drive in S mode. The Sonata did break down on me once, which didn’t surprise me.
Here’s one of them:

I just switched from a Hyundai Sonata to a Toyota Camry.
I have one. I really like it. But it’s currently in the shop to replace the motor for the front vent flap. I have the hybrid version and it meets all my needs. Let’s see if I have to keep visiting the shop.

What advantages does it offer compared to a Camry? I know there’s a camera display when you use turn signals that is pretty cool but is it really necessary with blind spot indicators?

I don’t have that higher trim level. The Blindspot indicators work well and I agree that the lights are accurate. Some driver assist features are a bit pushy and I had to turn most of them off.

We took test drives of RAV4s, CRVs, and Tucsons last week and ended up choosing a Tucson for my wife. I’m already a 21 Sonata owner in the limited trim.
The blind spot camera is really helpful especially on Florida roads where you need to be careful about looking back into your blind spot.
Hyundai has the best BSM calibration and the limited trim uses both camera and radar for it. Sometimes, my Sonata warns me not to change lanes when I can clearly see the car in my mirror, but BSM thinks it’s speeding and I shouldn’t cut into their lane.
I have a 2023 N-Line and haven’t faced any issues at all.

I have a 2021 N-Line. I had multiple choices but chose it to be fun yet responsible with money. I have no regrets.
The only issues I’ve had are electrical. Sometimes the turn stalks unexpectedly activate the windshield wipers and the back windows sometimes won’t open. Both are electrical problems.
I’ve owned mine for over 8 months and love it. I have a long commute, almost 2 hours daily, 4 days a week. No issues with it so far. Listen to people who actually own the model, not those who just read about it.
I got a 2020 Limited and have no complaints so far.
I own the 2022 SEL Plus and it’s fantastic.
They’re good. It really comes down to personal choice. Right now, Hyundai’s reliability is strong. It’s one of the best looking sedans under $30,000.
You should test drive the 24-25 Sonata N-Line. Definitely a great car for its price. The speakers are impressive, the screens are nice, it’s fast, shifts smoothly, handles great, and more. I ended up getting a 24 Elantra N-Line though.

Did you think about the Elantra N? Is it too loud for daily driving?

No, I test drove the N for the first time last month after wanting to for a while, and I found it was not too loud at all. I got a 24 Kona because I needed four doors and didn’t like it, so I went looking for another car. I had a ton of fun in the Elantra N-Line. There was an Elantra N on the lot but it was already sold, and I figured I’d have to wait months for another, which I didn’t want to do. I just wanted to get rid of the Kona quickly.
