The Sonata seems to hold the upshift if there is a lot of wheel spin. This allows more torque to be applied instead of the Traction Control System intervening by cutting the throttle or upshifting thereby reducing wheelspin (My FWD Veracruz does a better job in this aspect). And yes... I do use winter rubber. Using the manual mode and starting in second gear does help reduce the torque.
