Hi folks...
New user here from Boston just introducing myself. I picked up my 2019 Ioniq plugin last Friday, and have already learned much from the wisdom of the forums here. Oh, and like many of you, I suspect, I've also already left my 1-star review of the myHyundai app on the App Store.
My 09 Altima has been my favoritest car ever - I've had my last 2 vehicles for 10 years each, so I'm not a rapid mover automotively - but I was shopping out a Prius Prime, even put down a deposit on one, but at the final test drive, highway road noise and also the fact that my wife pretty much hated the vehicle, and well, it is a freakish design with a lot of bizarre white plastic dash stuff, a ludicrous 11" screen but no carplay, etc. - in any event, driving the Prius (and I'd had pretty serious Prius Envy (tm) ), it just felt so loud. Space age is fine, even cool, but Entune, shiny white plastic, and tech-for-tech-sake type stuff wasn't doing it for me.
I'd driven the Ioniq w Limited trim, and liked it, but was nervous about reviews (e.g., Consumer Reports) suggesting extreme mediocrity across the board - their assessment, it's a Prius clone, but the Prius does it all better.
On another drive, it just seemed more carlike, less ostentatious about flying the green flags etc., and a nice enough ride. The wife was quite gung ho in comparison to her take on the Prius. Neither's a speed demon, but the Ioniq is quite nice to ride.
So it's in the driveway. Have to figure out an option for charging as I don't have a garage, and my driveway is across my short lawn - so I'll be having an electrician in to put a weatherproof 240 jack outside - and then have to figure out what to do about rainy days and charging. Ordered one of the forum recommended phone mounts. You know, it's all getting sorted out.
So hello, and I appreciate that such a forum exists and hope to contribute eventually. Thanks, Scott
