1) have to tap the brake a lot to get it into regen and shut the engine off, even when going downhill where it should really be more aggressive with EV mode. Toyota does this automatically
2) HVAC has to be off, else the engine really won’t shut off.

Haha, good to know.
I am curious if the Sonata uses the Tucson system or Elantra system.
Tucson hybrid system - paddles at the back of the steering wheel in eco/normal mode = control the level of regen braking there is (4 levels = 0, 1, 2, 3)... then when in sport model... the paddles act like paddle shifters again
Elantra hybrid system - no paddles at all, so the regen is stuck at 2 forever....
