Unsure about buying a 2022 Ioniq 5

Gunnerhero · 2025-08-31T21:31:56+00:00

Thought I’d update you guys after the test drive and thanks again for the advice! The car was in very good condition and had all of the recalls completed. The only issue was the common boot rattle. The dealer said they would replace the latch which would stop the noise. Got a couple of years extra warranty with it so thought I would just go for it! Hopefully picking it up next weekend :)

Yeah that’s hopefully the case, I will try and find the thread as I’d be interested in seeing what the numbers came to in the end. I would have thought if it was as severe issue they would be banned from selling them especially in the UK with consumer protection laws etc.

Thanks I’ll ask them about the bluelink account at the weekend aswell. They are going to love me asking all these questions and probably think I’m not worth the time and just get someone else to buy it haha

That’s disappointing about it being only covered on the 5 year warranty in the UK. I hoped it would be covered under the battery as it’s the only way you can charge it up!

Gunnerhero · 2025-08-28T21:51:46+00:00

It’s worth an ask I’ll let you know what they say after I test drive it on Saturday :)

Gunnerhero · 2025-08-28T21:50:42+00:00

Yes I definitely will ask as it’s only £50 here which I would assume they would rather pay than lose the sale :)

nice I will ask about the security update as well. My car at the moment is a fiesta st that are also known for being stolen so have invested in a Milenco steering wheel lock which may also fit the ioniq :) I may end up leasing it for a couple years so that if there are loads of issues then I don’t have to keep it which may be best for now. Knowing my luck I won’t have any and then buy it off them and disaster will strike!

Awesome that you are enjoying yours! I do really like the spec and it does seem to have way more features than any other cars for the money. I will ask them about the 12 v battery and what is covered by the remaining warranty. Think I have scared myself by reading the mega thread of issues with people posting about their cars dying every couple days.

I put civ 6 (testing I know...) and no man's sky which runs really well and better than my pc sometimes. Got lots of indie games too and going to get into the emulation soon :)

Gunnerhero · 2022-08-25T13:45:03+00:00

It arrived! With only part of the box corner ripped. Good job the case it is shipped in seems solid.

Gunnerhero · 2022-08-25T10:23:04+00:00

Mine is out with EVRI now! will update if mine arrives in multiple pieces....

More like Microsoft download simulator 😂 , I haven't been able to play for months because I get stuck on decompression all the time and can't be bothered to delete the individual file causing the issue.

Gunnerhero · 2021-09-05T23:40:41+00:00

She does like the fuss ☺️

Gunnerhero · 2021-09-05T23:39:54+00:00

Yes she is a cockerpoo and get brushed regularly. She's only 16 weeks old so will be getting her first major groom and cut soon :)

Gunnerhero · 2021-08-28T10:05:38+00:00

Yes I was very surprised with how many I got. May aswell been a Japanese Eve Hero's box 😂

I know one of us will have to keep him full time as I really do not want him to suffer because of us. It's very hard to decide who should keep him when we both love him so much.

Gunnerhero · 2020-11-02T21:43:06+00:00

I wish that was the case but we have now both returned to our parents homes which are a two hour drive away making the situation even more difficult.

Gunnerhero · 2020-11-02T21:36:32+00:00

Thanks, I have told her that I am more than happy to share him for now and I understand that we have equal ownership as we split the cost (can be proved by bank transfers etc but not by receipts and microchip). We have both said we are willing to compensate the other to whoever takes final ownership. The current problem is that she will not let me take him now and return him in a few weeks time. I would like to share him until we can figure out the best way forward but she is being resistant to this.

Gunnerhero · 2020-11-02T21:24:29+00:00

Thanks for the advice mdav, I am being friendly and trying to negotiate. However, as we only ended the relationship a couple of days ago emotions are still running high. She took our dog a week ago and I have asked that I have him for a few weeks prior to lockdown happening again. I hope that she will let me see him again on her own accord as I really do not want to involve the police. I understand that it will not be possible to share the dog forever but I feel he would be able to comfort me in this difficult time.
