I tell everyone to get an Ioniq
Okay, maybe the Ioniq is a Prius for people who don't want to say they drive a Prius, but it's also a great all-around car. I've driven Priuses (Prii?) as business rentals and been underwhelmed. The Ioniq somehow makes the most of its 104hp and electric drive even in Eco mode when you put your foot down to merge onto the expressway, and in Sport mode you actually feel like you've got more than 150hp -- she scoots! All this while still clocking in 50mpg or so. The Android Auto/Apple CarPlay display on the dash is great, the sound system of the SEL + Tech package thumps and sounds awesome, and the Smart Cruise Control & Blind Spot / Rear Cross-Traffic warning sensors make driving that much more secure. The 27cuft of cargo space is enough for my son & I to go on multi-day camping trips with everything we need. I hope my wife gets another Ioniq when the time comes...in a different color of course.
