I bought it for a job that since ended...now I drive it because I can.
At the height of the most recent price insanity a few years ago, when gas here in LA was costing me $500-$700 a month to commute, I purchased my Ioniq 5 after an exhaustive shopping process. I had never really had a need for an electric car before and the hybrids I could find on the market at the time were not for me. I decided that with the offer of free charging at my work, I would try an electric, car having never once owned or driven one before. I was disappointed by the power of most I test drive. I did like the build quality of the germans and they drive well too..but they were surprisingly outdated on tech inside the car. I also loved the industry leader, but the build quality was a little lower in my opinion, which often can happen with rapid growth. Mainly, I just didn't want to drive the same car as everyone else! I then drove the Hyundai, a brand to be honest, I didn't know well. I have mostly driven big trucks or luxury cars so I am out of my league. My first test drive was so-so. I loved the look, the features, and landed a knowledgeable salesperson. I told him my dilemma, "this would be perfect if it were just faster", he smiled and said, "easy fix". We returned to the lot where the dual motor version was already waiting for me, and an hour later I was driving it home. Now, I say without any question that this is the MOST FUN I have had driving a car ever. I will miss my younger days of beach runs in my off road truck, but times have changed, and so have my interests. The Ioniq 5 has a lot of really useful practical tech, a unique design, and a whole lotta fun in your hands. Plus, this is a perfect family car when I want it to be, and fast as hell when I want to have some fun without the kids. That should not be understated either, this car is FAST! "Nuff said, happy camper here,
