Ioniq hybrid reflections after 40,000 miles.
I was drawn to the Hyundai brand because of positive reviews regarding quality, durability, customer approval ratings, and my own sitting in the driver seat. The experience has been satisfactory in nearly every respect. The reviews I read noted two areas that could use some attention by Hyundai. The noise level in the cabin is above average and sometimes bothersome. A source of this is the noise of the tires. Frankly, the tires on the vehicle are the loudest in road noise I've ever owned. I am eager to wear the tires out so I can put quieter rubber on the road. The other area of contention is that the Ioniq Limited simply will not achieve the 55 mpg promised on the sticker. Other models of the Ioniq will, but not the Limited. It weighs more, has larger diameter wheels and tires, and the mileage is very consistent at 47 to 50 mpg. Would I buy this car again? Yep. I might buy the lesser equipped models in order to raise my mileage. But I have had a very satisfactory experience with my Hyndai product.
