Generally positive, a few things are annoying but not dealbreakers
Our 2013 Prius V died and we bought a 2025 Ioniq 5 right before rebates expired in Sept 2025, so the price ($38,000) was exceptional. We love that it is an EV and have taken in on a few long rides up and down California. Charging has never been an issue; at Superchargers you don't even need an adapter, it just plugs right in. At home, we have 220/40 amp charger that easily charges fully overnight. While true of gas cars too, you see that going 70 is a lot less fuel efficient than driving 60.
The back seats lie flat and you can easily sleep in the back.
We like that the screen is not so huge like many other cars (looking at you Tesla).
We had rented a Tesla, and hated that we were always hitting our heads getting in. This is NOT an issue with the Ioniq 5.
Here's a partial list of things that annoy us: the doors are well made and heavy (as older people, we worry as we get older the doors will seem even heavier); console (the space between the two front seats) is not efficiently designed; the prompting causes my wife to call the car "a grumpy old man", you can be just slightly to the side in the lane and it will ping and tell you to consider a coffee break, at times it doesn't seem to recognize that you are looking ahead, etc; the turning radius is not as good as the PriusV was.
