I don’t recommand this car. Problems : entertainment unit, water pump, 2 sensors and the regenerative breaking system have been changed and the car has 23000km... never buy this shitty car.

Ioniq hybrid plug-in saga

This car is new on US market and all claims about its performance come from the manufacturer. It can drive 30 miles pure electric and than small engine started and you can drive 650 miles on one tank of gas. Sounds very attractive! My personal problem with Ionig plug-in is that number of cars on dealerships is very limited and all cars marked up $2-3K over MSRP. I was not able to find silver Ioniq plug-in within 100 miles radius. This car has no discounts from dealership/manufacturer at all! There is a federal tax credit $4500, but it is not clear if it is applicable to 2019 model. When I called IRS, they suggested to apply and see what happens. Bottom line - interesting car, but overpriced and limited options available at dealerships.

Ioniq is a Great transportation pick. Everyone has a bone to pick..........so understand that all won't be ideal, yet when the toll is gathered at the end of the day, you got where you needed to be with the least inconvenience and cost.

Bought it for the fuel economy and the hov sticker. Got the higher model for the upgraded stereo and leather seats. The interior is probably the only aspect of the car I still like. It is very comfortable, only complaint would be the head unit is a bit slow and takes a few minutes to get the Bluetooth connected. My biggest complaint is all the safety features. I've changed them in the settings but some how they go back to being on. Go to unlock the door and it doesn't unlock all the doors. Put in park and it's suppose to unlock all doors. Get out to let someone in and all the doors are locked, have to run back around to the driver side to unlock and then run back around to open the door. The beeping is excessive. Heaven forbid your wife decides to leave her purse in the car with her set of keys in it....ain't locking the car.....just all the little things. Wasn't an issue in the beginning But after a few months all the small things add up to drive you mental. I am counting the days to get rid of this car. It's probably my 10th car I've owned. First brand new car. And I really really dislike it. Make sure you do a few test drives and really test out day to day features to see if you like it. Oh yeah and the throttle response is terrible and sport mode is a joke.
