So many great things, but a few weird ones.
It's a very comfortable and well-designed car overall. But it has a few quirks, and I can't help but feel that the Kona Electric did some things better.
I love how it drives, but the Kona handled more neatly, and had better pick-up, as well as a tighter turn radius. And the steering wheel started to squeak after a month of owning it.
I also preferred real buttons on the control panel, as opposed to the touch-sensitive ones on the Ioniq. Buttons are easier to find by touch when you're driving and your attention needs to be on the road. Plus, the reflective nature of the surface of the panel makes it VERY hard to find an icon when it's sunny out!
Also, I don't understand the point of a Vista Roof. It's really only for the people in the back seat to enjoy. And as it can't be opened, you can't let any of the hot air out if the car has been parked in the sun. Plus, the fabric that is pulled back and forth to cover the Vista Roof interior is so thin that it heats up in the sun, making the ceiling of the car hotter, and thus the cab of the car more prone to heat up, whereas the Kona's Moonroof was thicker and a more useful cover.
All that said, it's a very comfortable car to sit in and the controls are mostly very intuitive. I love that the side mirrors can fold in at the touch of a button. And the cooled seats are wonderful! Plus, having a Tesla-style charging port seems a more practical idea for the moment, as they're all over the place, at least in California. However, I will say that the one time I tried to use one the car wouldn't charge. I have yet to try it again, and have defaulted to EV-style chargers using the provided adapter when I can't charge at home (but I love that there's a full range of adapters that come with the car!).
