  1. Both the K5 GT and the Sonata N-Line are intriguing sport sedans. The 2.5L turbo engine that KIA, Hyundai, and Genesis are making standard or optional in at least 9(!) vehicles ranging from compact sedans and hatchbacks to SUVs and full size sedans is a promising motor. Coupled with the DCT in at least six of those vehicles, it's a potent combination. The major flaw in the Sonata and the K5? With neither AWD nor some form of electronic or mechanical LSD there is no way to get all that power to the pavement in a FWD vehicle without wheel hop and torque steer unless traction control intervenes. Note that Joe doesn't demonstrate acceleration from a standing stop in full Sport+ mode. (22:02). The Sonata N-Line and K5 GT will no doubt satisfy self-proclaimed "enthusiasts" who think that performance inevitably involves simply mashing the throttle and holding on but neither lives up to the potential of the engine and excellent DCT.
