I wanted to give a small honest list about the pros and cons of my Ioniq. So here goes.
Pros.
Gas mileage. It really is amazing. I haven't had long periods without gas station visits since buying I started driving. I mean, 3 weeks without stopping for gas? This is crazy.
Handling is pretty good. Steering is responsive. Light. You can easily navigate with light movements. In Sport Mode, It gets a little more stiff. Seems to firm up a lot.
Features. The Bluetooth comes in very handy. It even handles Whatsapp calls. Which is pretty cool. Reverse camera is clear, Sound quality is amazing, the speedometer is easily readable, The information section is simple and to the point, the controls on the steering manage it well. Parking sensors work amazing, I appreciate that so much during city driving, The Driver Only cooling option for when driving alone, The drink holders on the doors come in handy and the dedicated charging port in the center console. Honorable mention all the airbags are appreciated and I hope I never find out how well they work.
Looks. I can admit I wasn't sold on the looks when I first saw the car on the road. Now, I Love It. I know it's fashioned to look like the most popular and easily recognizable Hybrid of all time, But it's beautiful. And with little personal touches to stand out from the few on the road, It looks even more amazing. Even better when super clean. Lol.
EV Mode. Not talking about the gas saving attribute. I'm talking about the Silence. Apparently it's creepy watching the car pass by without hearing any sound. It's Soooooooooooooo quiet. So quiet that you have to be so careful around pedestrians whole love to walk between cars to cross the streets in POS.
Space. It doesn't look like it, But it does have a lot of space for a small car. At least to me, being 6'6". I'm not crunched up, I'm comfortable. Also it's a hatchback, So the trunk space is Huge. I had 6 cases of water to the back to it recently and it did nothing to the amount of space left. Didn't even feel the weight of them in the rear.
Cons.
I have to say however, that these are personal quirks of mine.
I wish I had Android Auto in this model. I don't think the Premium version has it either. I can be wrong though but I don't think I am. I just want the information system to do more. That's just me.
Because of how the car is shaped, Looking through the rear windshield is limited. It's small and divided into two because of the stock spoiler. Not a dealer breaker. I'm already accustomed to it.
The mats attract dust. Not a deal breaker but I swear it picks up every spec of dirt known to man at some point.
Sound quality. I miss my bassline. I'm definitely going to be changing the stock speakers soon. They sound great, Just not loud enough for me. That's a personal problem.
The car has wireless charging, but you need a QI pad for it work.
Maybe I'd develop more dislikes as time goes along. None of these are deal breakers however. And most of the cons won't apply to others. Back to sleep for me. Just thought I'd share.
