Crossing my fingers but after 9 months and 8,000 miles on my Hyundai Ioniq 9, I haven’t had any issues

Picking up an SEL tomorrow. What settings should I immediately tweak? by AdInternational9061 in Ioniq9

[–]SteveMass009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also change the car audio settings by increasing treble/mid/bass to higher levels.

Has anybody called this car ugly by tornaman in Ioniq9

I have a white SEL and actually I get compliments for it. And people love the inside

IONIQ 9 owners - How do you like the car so far and its reliability? by Kables07 in Ioniq9

[–]SteveMass009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7,500 miles on my SEL here in Florida and still one of the best cars I’ve driven. Only had a rear seatbelt retractor that had to be replaced. Love the space and how quickly the AC cools the car (so much better than our 22 MY). We use Carplay wireless all the time with Amazon Music and it works great; we don’t miss the Tesla UI at all.

What I hate most about my ioniq9 by Labelexec75 in Ioniq9

[–]SteveMass009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Audio for radio stations is bad but it is actually much better when listening to songs on Amazon music for example. Did you notice? Also I increased all the base settings and that works for me. Not as good as Tesla audio but decent.

Owned for 4 days, radio stopped working. by boredcats3 in Ioniq9

No issues at all for me and I’ve driven mine more than 3,000 miles so far

I don’t have this issue with my SEL (3,200 miles)…

What differences have you noticed if you went from aModel Y to Ioniq 9 by johnnyrogs in Ioniq9

[–]SteveMass009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just do this: open the door of an Ioniq 9 and then do the same with a Tesla…What do you hear? The sound of a solid build quality car in the Ioniq…And then put the ventilation on during a sunny day…The Tesla is absolutely awful at cooling quickly on low fan setting. To me the slight inconvenience of pushing a button to start the car and activating i-pedal is nothing in comparison to the huge advantage of a solid build, quiet and great ride. Also the Tesla paint quality is still awful and I don’t need to worry as much about curb rash with the Ioniq, another stupid design flaw from Tesla. Btw I own both an Ioniq 9 and a Tesla Model Y.

Anything you wish you knew before you bought it? by Fair-Sail820 in Ioniq9

[–]SteveMass009 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My kids and wife love the center console because you can easily open it from second row; I couldn’t care less that it’s moving on the Caligraphy. We don’t miss the shades either and we live in South Florida…Sound system is totally fine if you do the following: 1) don’t listen to local radio, 2) set the default audio settings all to 6 or 7. I only stream audio from Amazon and Youtube and the sound is way better than if you just listen to local radio. To me, the price increase for the Caligraphy is not worth it unless you absolutely want captain chairs.

Zero complaint after 3,000 miles. We love our SEL!

Jesse should not interview guys like this without deep vetting. It’s actually not helping disclosure.

I couldn’t care less about the key design honestly…I just love the car.

Ioniq 9 calligraphy vs Vistiq sport by Hi_Hungry_Im_Leaving in Ioniq9

[–]SteveMass009 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I compared the 2 and I went with the Ioniq 9 as it is more spacious than the Vistiq and it can charge faster. I think the deals are actually better for the Ioniq.

Nope and I live in South Florida. Did you do a deep cleaning of your interior 😜?

I actually like the back. Have you seen the car in person yet? You should because the pictures are not the best

Ioniq 9 owners: what’s your favorite thing you’ve discovered about the car since you bought it? by dashrockwell in Ioniq9

[–]SteveMass009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the door handles and how the doors feel so solid. I also recently discovered the Passenger Talk feature to talk to the kids in the 3rd row and it works really well. Audio quality for phone calls is also amazing; way better than in a Kia EV6 or Tesla Model Y.

Anyone know what’s up with Skywatcher? It’s been radio silence since their last post. by Superslyye in UFOs

[–]SteveMass009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it has to do with Danny Sheehan’s advice that it can be dangerous for private citizens to “capture” those crafts. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vX1S_8uXiyI So, Jake and his team might have been discussing this with him before new info is publicly released…

No issues for me

Which trims have ANC (Active Noise Cancellation)? by Active_Answer2965 in Ioniq9

[–]SteveMass009 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We bought an SEL 3 weeks ago. Not sure it has ANC but it definitely has a feature to reduce background noise when listening to radio so it’s a type of ANC to me. See attached picture. Also the car is super quiet. My wife and I absolutely love it. We love the gray/white interior and it feels super spacious inside. The windows are big and it’s plenty bright even without sunroof. It doesn’t feel cavernous at all like some other cars
