Well, I have an automatic and the throttle sensitivity is still an issue
for me. Yes, I have gotten used to it, but there are still times,
especially after driving another car of just about any make or model,
when I am still stunned by it. I can't imagine how you engage the
clutch without chirping the tires or stalling on almost every 1st gear
start.
And not to argue the point about BMW's, but I personally think Honda has
the best manual on the market. But I know you are a little anti-Honda,
Matt.

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.
