Is it just me or do you find that driving your Ioniq actually feels calmer than other cars or is it simply the EV function that has slowed and relaxed my driving style more than other non-EV cars in my past?
I've always considered myself a confident, good and safe driver. Assertive certainly, yet not an excessive speeder nor slug-slow or erratic or a nervous driver either. I watch traffic signals and other cars reactions well beyond just the vehicle(s) directly ahead of me and I use my mirrors judiciously.
However with my Ioniq, especially in EV mode, I feel that I'm somehow a bit calmer driver as well and so far without attracting angry horn honking chastisement from other drivers either.
Even in dense stop and go city traffic conditions, it's like this car has an almost ethereal, OM-like effect (or should I say Ohm-like effect?) and I happily find myself feeling more relaxed, yet driving with even more forethought to my car, the road around me and other variables than I've experienced in any other vehicle.
The Ioniq is my first ever EV variant, so is this it?
Regardless, it's a good thing to me!
What are your thoughts on your Ioniq driving experience?
