Awesome car, loved it!
I was waiting for the Ioniq 6 to come out, and when they did I had the first one SEL AWD off the boat in my city. Awesome car, great looks, superb handling, very comfortable, love the Eco/Normal/Sport settings in case I want to be thrifty with range. This car is one of the few cars on the marks with a range over 300 miles, and the others are for the most part much more expensive cars made by makers like Lucid or Rivian. I drove this car for three years on a lease - I would have bought it out from the lease only the value drops so much on many electric vehicles (including this one) that I would have to pay more to buy the car out of the lease than what it is now worth. I could buy a used one with a third the mileage for that same price. So sad to see it go, but I love cars so I am always dreaming about what's next. There's a reason why Car and Driver awarded this the best electric car of 2023. During those three years I spent $0 on gas and $0 on maintenance. I did have to take it to the dealership several time for them to check on recall issues, but nothing that ever meant me leaving the car overnight. I did replace the tires at 24K miles because one got a nail in one and the tread on the others was getting low. That hurt a bit because even with them sale those tires are expensive and I didn't realize that the heavier electric cars eat through tires quicker than a regular car. But they are Pirelli tires, and they help the car handle so beautifully! I marked the comfort down a couple of points because it would have been nice if the passenger seat was powered and not manual adjust, but I understand they were saving on weight (for range) and expenses (for overall price point). Love the automatically opening trunk, with push button close and lock. Loved the phone app so I could all my car and start it to cool it down before I got in it on hot summer days or to warm it up on cold winter days. Or I could call it and lock it if I forgot to lock it while I was at work - the app would send me a message if my car was unlocked. Awesome! I marked a few points down for build quality because some of the panel gaps are not even, and one of the inset door handles is off enough that occasionally it would get snagged on the door body and not open. But inside the car is gorgeous, I was always changing colors on the interior panels to surprise my little girl who loved my car, we named it our Silver Six!
