Good overall
There are issues on the interior that could be fixed.
1. Very difficult to see door lock/unlock buttons on the door. I had to use green and red nail polish on each button so we could see it more easily.
2. The sun roof is a complete waste on us, I wish we could have gotten the car without it
3. the buttons on the dash are very difficult to see in day-light. I had to type out the labels and tape them to the dash so we can see them.
4. make all the controls easier to use and find. Knobs are the best. I frequently have to pull over so I can figure out how to use the audio, or change the temperature etc. Simpler is better
5. I would like to change the display panel, IE move the location of the time widget. It is blocked by my hand on the wheel. I'd like to move the time display to the top of the display panel so I can see it all the time. Instead, I have to move my hand every-time I need to see the time
6. There is no rear window wiper. I carry a squeegee and a rag to clean the rear window when I am on a trip. I have to pull into a parking lot to clean the window. I am getting used to relying on my side mirrors and not the rear window to see traffic behind me. This seems like a major flaw
7. The rear cargo area is much smaller than it needs to be because of the dramatic slope of the window. The cargo area is already small, and half of it is unusable due to the slope of the window.
8. We were supposed to have gotten an adapter so we can use Tesla chargers. That has not happened yet. Charging EV's needs to be as easy as putting gas in a regular car. Charging on a trip is the biggest drawback and source of anxiety
9. We know we are using a mere fraction of what the vehicle's capabilities are. Produce a "keep it simple" basic EV including those most used features in the vehicle you are producing now. I assume you can see, and do look at every feature car owners use. Evidenced by the obvious interaction between Hyundai and our vehicle at all hours of the day and night.
10. If the Chinese BYD (beyond your dreams) was available in the US, we would have strongly considered it. Just because your engineers can include every bell and whistle, doesn't mean you should.
11. How much would that car have cost if we hadn't had to pay for all the features that we never use.
12. the main reason we chose the Ionic 5, was ease of getting in and out of the vehicle. It was a buy/no buy deal breaker in a lot of EV's that we looked at. We like the small SUV size, but don't need a rolls royce rolling computer.
