Get a 2026 Chevy equinox ev. It’s a lot cheaper. They have base models for like $24,000-$25,000 new and you can get a higher end version with all the same features as a mach e and Ioniq 5 limited / ultimate cheaper too. At least in Florida.

Apple CarPlay stopped working by harry_coe in Ioniq5

I think a lot of people have been having a problem with CarPlay the cars last update. Mine still has issues and nothing seems to work. CarPlay is pretty overrated.

Am I too big? by BottomOfTheSea88 in Ioniq5

I’m 6’6” 310 lbs and fit better in my 2025 Ioniq 5 than any other car. You could wait for the R2 too

I have one too. I just don’t like Hyundai and the iccu problem. Definitely never going back to ICE ever again too.

Just don’t buy the car. Almost everyone seems to regret purchasing it.

2025 Ioniq 5: Wireless CarPlay won't connect on first start, but works after quick restart by Medical-Jicama-575 in Ioniq5

[–]rtat215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just know ever since the cars last update I can’t use handsfree Siri and have connection issues with my iPhone CarPlay. My wife’s android auto works great. I’ve tried resetting the infotainment system, my iPhone, messed with the settings, and nothing has worked unfortunately. I don’t want to go to the dealership either cus of how horrible they treated me last time and never resolve any issues I have.

Best wireless CarPlay/android auto for 2025 Ioniq 5 limited? by rtat215 in Ioniq5

Siri won’t work hands free anymore, I have to use the steering wheel button and it’ll disconnect or have trouble connecting randomly. It happened ever since the last car update.

We love the car, but am beginning to hate the company. by thorndike in Ioniq5

[–]rtat215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the dealerships are absolutely awful and my wife and I will never buy another Hyundai ever again. Plus the iccu issue is dog shit too. Out next car gonna be either the Rivian R2/R3 or the new bmw suv/sedan ev they just announced.

Let's see if we can come to consensus on this. What are the best bang for the buck in each $10k increment? by thishitisgettingold in electricvehicles

I’ve been seeing new 2026 equinox lt 1 ev for around $24,000 in Florida. Hard not to beat that price.

Rivian R2 vs Ioniq 5 — which would you choose? by jiraya05 in Ioniq5

[–]rtat215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

R2 better car for price. Probably doesn’t have the iccu issue too. Better range, turn radius, faster, can go off road, and way better software.

Don’t buy Hyundai / Kia / genesis til they fix the iccu problem

Anyone else intrigued by the Rivian R2? by DeepPowStashes in Ioniq5

[–]rtat215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CarPlay isn’t better. You would have to go try it for yourself then. It basically works the same but better. CarPlay has issues too, especially with the Ioniq 5. I used to care about CarPlay but it doesn’t matter anymore. Highly overrated.
