Sonata features

I never used them, but they did look sharp.

Not only the front ones, but in the rear they alert you to cross traffic including people walking. Very hand backing out of a parking space when you are next to a van or big pickup and can't see crap.

I was just noting the thing I did not like. The front end is hard for me to judge and the lack of proximity sensors in the front is a pain. The cross-traffic indicator is, as you note, a very handy feature.

I shoulda mentioned the gas mileage; it's not much--very little--better than my Genesis; 28-29 MPG vs 25 in the Genesis at 80 MPH. (Texas)

Maybe I shoulda mentioned how much improved the cruise control is over the older Genesit. it's dramatically more useful. And, yes, there's a bit more road noise but the radio masks that.

But everything else is smoking! It's a hell of a lot of car for half the price of the Genesis. But if you can bear the hit, the Genesis is the way to go--as you did.

My daughter stole her Mom's new Sonata to take back to UT since mom can't drive for the nest coupla months. /fter mom gets used to her new right leg I'll have to put in a left-side gas pedal.

I am deaf enough that the difference in the sound systems isn't apparent to me; the Sonata sounts Great to these old-man ears.

And to the kid's.

Today I too my first long ride in the Genesis. I was cruising along at

75 mph on I91 N in Vermont and looked at the instruments. I was past the 250 mile mark non-stop and was very comfortable in the seat. I had moved the steering wheel a little from my usual position. I finally got out at 325 miles and really felt good. This is the most comfortable car I've ever had.
