The Kia's transmission could be geared differently so that could be the reason for the better performance. Mom's Sonata is from 2004 and the only part needed replacement was a light bulb in a tailight so far along with tires. At work we have a Ford Ranger with a 2.3 Liter 4 cylinder, that thing is a pig, slow pickup and so on. Mom's Hyundai engine is bigger and more powerful. I drive the Chevy Colorado myself, an Isuzu I370 clone with a 5 cylinder engine. The Colorado has quick pickup, it had 242 hp vs the Ford's 141.
