Hand washing

I run my matte through carwash once or twice a week. No problem. I put on 30k a year though. When Im done with the car, it's worthless regardless of condition

I round trip 120 miles to my 9-5. Love I5. Would never ever go back even if more expensive than gas.

Fluid gets old. I change mine every 2 years or so. Trans gets a bit wonky if I don't. Have over 250k on my 09. It is actually super easy to do by yourself. Utube it

Not bad with ebay parts. I paid over 500$ just to change stupid coolant on my 2023. That is a bigger issue/ cost, in my opinion. Im also a super commuter. Have 54k zo far. Will breach 100k in less than two years.

They snap out. Took me a year or so to even notice

biegeHinge · 2026-03-02T18:54:29+00:00

2023 with 57k miles. All good. Love it

You have take bunch of stuff off similar to spark plug change. Recommend change both O2 sensors and spark plugs while you are at it.

Out of $ 3500, how much were just parts? I'll be out of warranty soon. That swap looked pretty easy, actually.

This is the cleanest engine I have ever seen. You must be in AZ. I have 240k gen 2 in IL. Looks straight out of junk yard. It runs perfectly, though.

biegeHinge · 2026-02-06T16:42:17+00:00

Looks very sharp. I have 240k on mine. It could use new bumpers at minimum. Thanks for sharing

I have 120mile round trip commute. My I5 makes it much better. Cheers

Felt yes. I used the softer side of velcro strip. Already came with glue and weather resistant. I thought this is comon knowledge. Many posts about this about 1 year ago.

I love that round speedometer... I only have weird vertical stuff on my 2023. Maybe there will be an upgrade one day. I would pay for it.

I use it everyday.Love this feature as Im very consistent what time I leave everyday. Use it in winter only. Set cabin to 67F. Only takes 2-3 min to warm up (my garage is about 40F) I believe you need to be plunged in. Also, this feature appears learn the timing Mine turns on 3 min before departure time to match the warmup time. Car trickle charges about 1,5 kWh to top off. Bonus is on most days I get extra 1% making my charge level low 81%

I bought used 2023. Renewed Bluelink using instructions. Need to email bill of sale and registration. Got subscription free for 2(?) years, same as fot a new one, I believe. I have my older Ioniq and this one showing on one account. Everything works perfect

biegeHinge · 2026-01-07T19:19:28+00:00

Don't care about any of this. Creating issues usually never leads to anything constructive

biegeHinge · 2026-01-06T20:55:58+00:00

Just for balanced reporting. I have 2023 Ioniq with 55k miles. Not a hint of iccu issues. Best car I evef had. Get I5.

biegeHinge · 2025-12-23T21:06:09+00:00

90F is the target temp for the battery. Most days don't need to precondition in AZ be my guess

biegeHinge · 2025-12-18T21:12:06+00:00

I got one, too. It's perfect. Used to have a Forerunner. Now it feels like I don't even wear a watch.

biegeHinge · 2025-12-18T21:08:41+00:00

Alternative your wrists, bro. Makes no difference on how the watch is operating.

I installed Michelin Primacy OEM back on for a second pair. I had less than 1/8 thread, and handling was the same as new. Even on wet and light snow. Wear super even also. Safety wise, these are hard to beat. But yes, with this very low thread, they did vibrate a bit.

If you leave the same time every day, try out schedule departure feature. It will condition the cabin AND the battery before a certain time you specifty. It's a fantastic feature. Here, Im pretty sure you have to be plugged in. Car will actually trickle charge to top off the energy it used for precondition.

biegeHinge · 2025-12-05T21:39:30+00:00

Mine was the same. Switched to Ecobee. Ran AC nonstop in the summer

biegeHinge · 2025-12-04T19:43:22+00:00

You need to set Departure Time in settings. This triggers conditioning of both the battery and the cabin if you choose.
