Hyundai Ioniq 1.6 GDi Hybrid SE DCT
I'm very pleased with the car, very few 'niggles' which are probably unique to me. I wish Hyundai had built it as a coupe (selfish of me), my 3 previous cars were the coupe.
My only really negative comment on the car is the cruise control system. For anyone who is used to a more conventional cruise control, (such as on the coupe and other cars), may find as I did the system initially unnerving. My issue is with the 'Smart or Intelligent' mode. I feel that initial selection of cruise control should be the opposite of the version on this car. Basic cruise control as standard, selecting the smart version needing the extra input. My reasoning being that in smart mode the system seems prone to misinterpreting the traffic ahead if overtaking, (2 or 3 lanes in direction of travel), if approaching a RH bend it seems to detect a potential collision with the vehicle ahead in the lane to the left and, can brake quite hard, after such an experience with a vehicle following me getting very upset (it was too close anyway), I decided to not use that mode any more.
Other than the cruise control I can only praise the vehicle.
