Overall a good Car
Overall we're quite happy with the car. It's a good size, fun to drive, and I don't think we will ever go back to a gas powered car. The things that keep it from being 5 stars are unreliability and a few electronics annoyances.
For reliability - we were hit with the ICCU problem, which was fixed under warranty, but still left us without a car for about a week. We were lucky that the ICCU died near home on a low-traffic street. Our Air Conditioning also died twice in the first ~18 months we had the car, each time necessitating a multi-day fix at the dealer. We only have one car, so losing it for days or weeks at a time is a big annoyance. Our dealer (Seattle Hyundai) also never has loaners, and the process for getting a rental reimbursed by Hyundai Corporate is opaque at best, so we usually just end up eating the cost of a rental car while ours is at the dealer.
For electronics: the parking sensor beeper is very sensitive and frequently starts beeping when we're stopped behind another car at a stop light. I can turn it off via a button on the dashboard, but it turns on again once we start moving. I would like it if it could be disabled when our car is not moving. There is also a feature which dings when we are going through a camera speed zone, but it's not very accurate. It frequently dings when we're not in an active speed zone, and doesn't ding at other times when we are in a speed zone. I would like to just turn it off, but I can't figure out how to do so. On the whole I find the car UI to be fine-to-good, but there are enough of these annoying things to keep it from being 5 stars in my view.
