@Joe Joseph Never heard about reliability on the Ioniq. Some issues would be found since it's relatively new to the market. What are the issues?

Joe is just a hater. My fiancé has had one since 2018. We’ve had no issues at all! Take it in for all its services and it run wonderfully! Thinking of going plug in seeing our commutes to work are about 8 miles each way so we could use battery majority of the time and hardly use gas. Unlike my sonata which uses a lot of gas compared to ioniq.

Joe Joseph I had a 2018 accord and ill probably never get another

Joe Joseph was the worst car I ever owned full of electrical issues sat at the dealer for 3 months and I had to come trade loaner cars out every 100 miles they finally determined it needed an entire new wire harness after they changed it the issue still persisted. I traded it for my sonata and haven’t had an issue yet

Joe Joseph I’m not trying to put them down they are known for being the most reliable brands. Just sharing that I had a junky one and will never buy another 🤷🏼‍♀️

Have you thought of getting the comma ai open pilot addition to your car?

@@dealerovski82 it doesnt do much more

Old chief designer of Audi, that’s why

Happy owner here too.

Just got one, I’ve heard it’s quite loud inside is that right?

@@dozzio any thoughts on the road/cabin noise after a week driving it?

Did you get it? What are your thoughts?

That was a wheel bearing 😂😂

You won't be disappointed if you haven't already, I came out of a tuned WRX, changed jobs to add a 120 mile round trip commute and decided it was time to drive something more responsible and this car can actually be pretty fun to drive. I've somewhat gotten into hypermiling too, it's so much fun to see how much mileage I can eek out of it. Also, the HDA is ABSOLUTELY worth it, it is amazing and lowers driver fatigue significantly for me.

I as well agree to Cory. Im coming/currently from an 05 VW GTI after having a suv for several years as well. Thus far my gti has been the best car driving/feel wise. Unsure of longevity but it is time for a change soon.

Or model Y for that matter

IMO avoid the light gray, reflection on windshield makes a lot glare. Should never have a light color like that on top of dashboard.

@@Mark-eu6mc actually i love it. Its a very nice car for the money. I don't know much about mpg but on the 535d I averaged 8.8l/100km or about 28mpg Now I have the Ioniq since 6 months and average 50 to 59mpg. I mostly drove in the city and some freeways, up to 60mph

@@Mark-eu6mc hi! I would be lying if I was saying the swap wasn't a huge difference. Owned the BMW for 3 years and if was a fine time. Damn nice riding comfort, power and torque and lots and lots of luxury gadgets. Being a 2014 model, you could tell it was aging though. By the time I sold it, it was almost 7 years old with 85k miles and I spend a lot of money on service and repairs. A lot! (EGR cooler blown, transmission oil leaking...) In the end the BMW was still a luxury sedan but also felt like an aging dinosaur to me. Since I live in Vienna which can be quite crowded, the smaller Hyundai fits my lifestyle much better. The smaller size makes it a mich better choice for the urban area and being a 2021 model you can tell it's a mmich more modern car than the Beemer. This and the 5year warranty who keeps me out of expensive repair bills sold it to me. Obviously it's build much cheaper, lots of Plastics but nothing rattles. The riding comfort and seats are fine for me so I'm all good

Except for Nissan, Subaru, and Mitsubishi

@@JDMSwervo2001 Exactly. Mitsubishi is a big corporation and cars is just a side gig, while Nissan-Renault alliance quality is going down and down, I wouldn't be surprised if they go bankrupt this decade. Subaru, I hear their boxer engines always blow up head gaskets plus AWD vehicles are expensive to maintain and they waste more fuel because they're heavier. But the BRZ and WRX STI are really good vehicles.

@Radu Diaconu Good point. Thanks for correcting me. Not sure if the alliance will stay for long anyways but yea.

@Radu Diaconu I have a VW Jetta Mk4. Engine problems are filling my head at the moment. Thanks I'll try enjoy my mom's ranger. Though i despise automatic trans. Enjoy your car too man. But concerning Nissan, here in Africa they're strong especially the bigger vehicles. But they're very expensive to repair. Manual or auto it doesn't matter. Here in Mozambique Nissans are super expensive to maintain.

@Radu Diaconu Renault Duster is actually famous in South Africa because of their fuel efficiency. Renault actually is the most fuel efficient BRAND here in Southern Africa, not sure about the whole of Africa. The diesel engines are solid well build engines. Yea good move on maintaining your vehicle at independent shops. Dealerships lately have all these scams up their a-holes. Concerning the Mk4 Jetta, I've got the 1.6L naturally aspirated. It is a solid engine. It's one heck of a fun vehicle to drive on the highway cause of the 5 speed manual trans. I did have issues with mechanics here in Mozambique, my dad left the car with a mechanic after he had accidents but the engine still runs and runs. The AC doesn't work, the rear left door doesn't open at all, the rear right door doesn't lock, the central locking is busted, the front 2 doors can only be opened from the inside, the sunroof was broken by the mechanic but my dad only cares for the engine bay. Apart from that, it's a nice naturally aspirated engine. Parts for the engine are pretty cheap and its fuel economy isn't bad at all. I still get around 31MPG on the highway.

Jajaj. I was looking for this comment.

But he missed it- if he saw it that is.

Hey Craig did you end up buying one? How has your experience with it been so far?

@@Alex73154 I went with a Kona N-Line ULT we just liked the design better and the 18-month wait for a Hybrid just wasn’t worth it… in comparison I had my N-Line within 5 months

DCT-transmission might be an equally good option.🤔

@@henrikkoukku2896 The Ioniq's transmission is a DCT. A CVT would suit the hybrid system better however.

@@TheSynecdoche -Okey.

@@TheSynecdoche these cars in sport mode are fast. i take mine to the track lol (2019 regular hybrid model) got 17 inch rims, michelin pilot sports, thing goes 0-60 in 6.5 seconds, and sport mode makes suspension really stiff so no body roll. put front and side splitters on it, and ordered an adjustible rear wing

@@TheSynecdoche I drive a Kia 19 Kia Niro hybrid with the same powertrain that's in the ionic. One of the best features of these two hybrids is that DCT. The electric motor smooths out the shifts considerably compared to Velosters etc. Overall it's by far the best car that I've ever owned.

Me too! 7:42 he discusses road noise... but no db details. It's the #1 reason I haven't purchased a hybrid yet. I find all of them to be too noisy.

Keep the (slideable) trunk cover on - it helps reduce what little road noise there is.

That's not a mouse bro lol. It's clearly a dog.

It's a cat 🤦‍♂️

Ya'll... It's a dingus.

I thought it was a cat😂😂

Rabbit. Look at how it hops and the large ears from its side profile.

Not so much

No and they are on most toyotas and newer vehicles

Yes but the prius would last at least 3x as long as the ioniq.

I'm late but let's break out the math. The Ioniq has a 8.9 kWh battery, let's say 9 kWh to make the math easier. According to this IEEE paper*, charging efficiency at 120V is around 84%. Therefore, you'll need 9 kWh/.84 = 10.7 kWh to charge the car. The average cost of electricity in the US is 13.7¢/kWh**, so 10.7kWh * 13.7¢/kWh * $1 / 100¢ = $1.47. Therefore, you'll be paying $1.47/day, assuming you go from 0% to 100% everyday and you pay 13.7¢/kWh. That's $536.55/year.

@@AdamWang19 thanks SO much Adam for your expert reply! Funny, I already have the car( got a great deal and leased) but the car has been in the service dept now for 3 weeks while they tried to determine why the car would no longer accept a charge. It's looking like a defective charger.

@@JJ-rg7yp Aw man, that sucks. I was looking into this car, but now I'm not so sure... How was your time with it before it broke down?

@@AdamWang19 before it started acting up it was great....saving me 100-125 per month on gas...dealership replaced my defective charger...free under warranty, but told me they retail for $2400.00

10.6 secs according to factory data.

@@TheSynecdoche in sport mode it does it in 7.3

Wait a year or two and it will be 20k for a low-mileage one. I got my Stinger 3.3T AWD CPO for cheap that way.

Big gas man over here calm down

Are you disabled?
