I have auto. I've either gotten used to it or it smoothed out over time.
It was a PITA the first month or so. Going from one car to another does not
seem to make much difference though. I may have mention it before, but the
wife of a guy at work got rid of her 06 LX after six months solely because
of the throttle.
No doubt the BMW is much better. I've not driven one for a while but
performance was better than the Sonata, but the price tag was much different
also.

I can't remember if you have standard shift or automatic. With an
automatic, it would likely not be an issue and I didn't notice it with
the two automatics I test drove. I suspect it is amplified with
standard shift. You drive a BMW and then the Sonata and the difference
is night and day. BMW knows how to do standard shift right and Hyundai
hasn't a clue.

Throttle sensitivity bothered me for a month or so, but no more. One of us
has changed, I guess. It has been a common complaint though.

Probably. My 06 Sonata has been the most trouble-free car I've ever
owned, but it also has some of the most annoying design quirks,
particularly a lousy clutch and over sensitive electronic throttle. If
they would hire BMW to design their clutch and throttle, it would be an
amazing car.
