My first foreign car...
Overall, I like the Ioniq 6. Driving the car is pleasant, fun and comfortable. My rating - and my disappointment - is some of the programming implementation, especially compared to the American cars I've driven for the past 50 years (really last 20 since computers.) My personal disappointments:
1 - It doesn't self-lock (and it leaves the handles sticking out - "advertising" it is unlocked.) If it can text me it's unlocked, why can't we change a setting to make it lock.
2 - Accessory power vs. Run power. Things like:
A- windows and garage door opener should function on Accessory (and residual power after turning off). My habit is to open garage BEFORE powering car, and closing garage AFTER powering off. I'll never accidentally drive into door this way. Can't do either with Ionic 6.
B- Car off, oops, should have put windows up. Need to get in, foot on brake - power switch to get power to windows. Power switch for accessories should do this.
C- Remote keyfob CLOSE windows. I think some stupid person hurt their kid, most manufacturers took this away. Require waiver that you are "smart person" to buy car.
D- Approach UNLOCK doesn't always work if you have visited the trunk first. Still have to dig fob out of pocket to unlock (or maybe walk around car, which I haven't tried.)
3 - Remote drive should have slightly longer range. I can't remote drive into or out of garage without having to "walk with car" (sometimes garage too packed to use doors.)
4 - Expanded use of cameras for defensive purposes.
