My wife has the sonata turbo 274hp motor 50k miles no complaints same engine as the newer gen coupe 4 cyl. The motor is strong for sure. I remember the testing where they tried to blow it up on a track and failed.
Reliability it's a great engine.
I'm assuming that the market for the gen couple most people wanted the higher performer for a little more money.
Unlike camaros and Mustang who get all sorts of buyers that are ok to have a v6 or 4 cylinder in their "muscle car" I use those quotes loosely.
