Incredible mileage, unbelievable price!
I bought my 2017 Ioniq for just $23K, the dealer included several extras worth $2000. I was attracted by the mileage rating - 58 mpg - and it has not disappointed. I drive economically, which means its just me in the car 80% of the time, driving at posted speeds, and I routinely get 61 - 64 mpg. I like the dual-clutch system which delivers amazing acceleration and a manual drive experience when I want it. On a longer trip when i was averaging 70 mph with 2 others in the car, my mileage was ~54 mpg!
The car doesnt handle curves and speeds like a Mazda 3 or a Ford Focus, but that's not what it's been designed for. No dearth of room compared to similar sized cars, and it is incredibly quiet and smooth, thank goodness it has loud beep that reminds you to switch off the engine when you leave the car.
But the price is what got me. You CANNOT get a hybrid of this quality from any other manufacturer at this price. Would have preferred to buy the plug-in hybrid, but they dont sell them in MN!
