A Great Car All Around
My Ioniq 5 is the best car I've ever driven, even better than my 2019 Kona EV (which was lost in an accident.). I've been a big fan of EVs since I first bought my Kona. EVs are far superior to gasoline models in terms of economy, reliability, and maintenance.
I've driven my Ioniq 5 for over 1 1/2 years and have had no maintenance problems. Zero. I've had the car checked at my Hyundai dealer and it has come back with a clean slate. (No oil changes, no radiator problems or overheating, no sparkplugs, no mufflers or tailpipes. You get the idea.)
The car drives very well--quiet, smooth, responsive. It's roomy and comfortable. I like its distinctive looks, too.
The only complaint I have is that I wish the car had more range. I rarely get to 250 miles of range, l unless I charge it to 100%, which I only do when I'm taking a long trip. I'm a careful driver and use ECO mode most often.
The major problem I have as an EV driver (not unique to the Ioniq 5) is the terrible charging infrastructure in the United State. It's improved over the last several years, but is far short of acceptable.
I don't know why there aren't more Ioniq 5s on the road.
