Why in the world are you comparing these two cars? At least compare the sonata to the 4 door civic, thats much more fair, considering that sonata isnt sport tuned.
I was tryin to make that point exactly

HP numbers mean nothing if the car isn't designed well. All these guys are complaining that the car needs 250HP+ so I wanted to show that a high HP number is good for nothing but being on paper if the car isnt designed well

btw I do find it funny that you say its unfair for the Hyundai consider I'm comparing a 2.0T to a 2.0.
