    Had mine for about 7 weeks and I love it. I'm still surprised by newly discovered features that I experience almost every day, some of which no one has mentioned on any of these car review sites. For example, last week I was on the highway approaching a 2 km tunnel. It's summer here (Canada), but it wasn't really hot, so I had the AC on the fresh air mode setting. As I approached the tunnel, a dashboard message popped up saying that because the car was approaching a tunnel, it was switching to recirculation mode. Then as I exited the tunnel, it automatically switched back to fresh air! Pretty skookum.

      Out of curiosity, what did the dealer ding you with as far as fees? Got a quote from a local dealer and am interested to compare. Mine hilariously tried to charge me:
      $2,100.00 freight/delivery
      $498.00 - security etching
      $75.00 - carproof fee
      $139.95 - wheel locks
      $1,500.00 - 'spring ready package' lol
      $2,131.50 - literally called 'Misc Fees'
      $90.00 - 'Non-taxable fees'
      $140.00 - 'Other Charges'
      For a grand total of $6,674.45.
      I had them remove the 'spring ready package' bringing the total fees to $5,174.45. Other than that, they wouldn't budge on any of it. The $2.1k of 'Misc Fees' especially cracked me up, I referred to it as a 'Dealer Margin Increase Fee'.
      Was a no-brainer walking away from this dealership and taking my business to Tesla who also gave me $3k more on my trade in (which again hilariously was a Hyundai) and only around $2,100 in total fees.

      @@tjp1451 Mine's a lease, tjp. I wouldn't BUY an electric car for two reasons: first, it's my first electric car and I want to test out the technology before I make a bigger EV financing decision, and secondly, the technology is advancing so quickly that in a few years there will be multiple better options.
      If you are looking at a purchase, obviously the fees will be different, but on my lease, the additional fees total $1,451.50, comprising a "dealer fee", a "vehicle purchase fee", and an "early disposition fee". The dealer fee was about 50% of the total additional costs and the other two were split about 50/50. But every Province has different rules, and I live in BC.

    I had almost forgotten how much FUN driving could be until I got my Ioniq 6! I agree with everything said here about driving performance. For pricing , consider the SE trim, AWD or RWD. Both have the smaller 18” wheels for 300+ miles of range. Hyundai is conservative on range estimates. Using Normal, I consistently get 350 miles with my AWD version. However, SE trims do not have the sunroof and a few other doo-dads. Only real disappointment is the base sound system, which is MEH.

    Loved my Ioniq 6 that I had for 9 months. I think it is one of if not the best-looking practical car on the road today. I had the limited RWD version and the only reason I got rid of it is because we are moving a place that has 4 seasons versus the 1 season of Arizona. We got a 2024 Model 3 LR AWD because in the US it is eligible for a tax credit that makes it very compelling for the price.
    My biggest complaint of the Ioniq is that the rear suspension is very firm and crashes over road imperfections. It is worse when someone is in the backseat, this can make for a jarring ride that the model 3 does not suffer from. I do think the Hyundai handles the twisties better though. In some ways the Ioniq 6 is better vehicle than the model 3, but the price advantage along with neat options tips the scale towards the Tesla.

    There's one thing I think that can be improved regarding the side mirrors. Some older cars had side mirrors on the fender, downstream of the bonnet. Considering this car has cameras for side mirrors, if you placed them further down, you would have no blind spots at all.

      There is really very little in the way of 'blind-spots'. The car has blind spot cams for each side, though I use these less as the side mirrors give such a good view. But I DO use the rear-quarter radar-warning image that comes up on the dash as this is very effective.

    May I suggest all auto reviewers make a clear note of the battery chemistry for EV reviews. Kind of like mentioning an ICE needing 91RON vs 95RON can factor into real world costings, LFP vs NMC for example will affect charging to 100% vs 80%, which affects real world driving range.

      All lithium ion batteries, including LFP, can be charged to 100% on a long trip, though it not recommend for optimal longevity and possible overcharging for daily's. With LFP, you must charge it full 100% frequently to recalibrate the BMS so to avoid potential problem with incorrect SOC/range reading or associated problems such as cell imbalance.

    That has really annoyed me. Sure the Ioniq6 has a long wheelbase, but that does not equate to comfort and it is disingenuous of reviewers stating that it does.
    I recently did a longish road trip in my Polestar 2. I had 3 passengers, 2 of whom were in the back. Yes the back seat was 'cosy' in comparison, but it was comfortable and the passengers were able to sit properly. No complaints whatsoever from them. If it had been the Ioniq6 we were travelling in, they would have been screaming to be let out within 30 minutes.
