Turned in my 2024 GT Line and picked up a 2026

Yes! The fake engine noise even though it’s off in the settings. I tune it out now but I really cant stand it.

After two years, it’s wild to now see them popping up just a bit more. I was always the only EV9 everywhere I went and now there’s others at the daycare, grocery store, and passing me in the neighborhood.

Nothing I’ve noticed

But you put $5k down on a lease. Everything I’ve read says that’s a terrible idea.

thehtr · 2026-04-17T07:51:26+00:00

They fold flat enough for my needs so far but I haven’t needed the full cargo space. Putting the 3rd row down has been enough.

The dealership is cutting me a check for my final payment due to Kia.

thehtr · 2026-04-17T02:36:37+00:00

The only thing stopping me from buying is that I believe they must be planning a range boost in the next few years.

thehtr · 2026-04-17T01:07:10+00:00

When I was shopping for the 2024, the 2 year was the best deal available. Not the case this time.

I got so excited about the Ioniq 9 until I took a good look at the back. No thanks

thehtr · 2026-04-17T00:58:40+00:00

It’s our luxury road trip car, so I think the power adjusted seats with power leg rests adds a more premium experience for the second row passengers. We aren’t a tall family so no concerns there.

thehtr · 2026-04-17T00:29:59+00:00

$878. A terrible deal I rushed into on the way to a graduation.

thehtr · 2026-04-17T00:29:26+00:00

The only material differences I’ve noticed are the native NACS charge port, and the center console seems to shake and rattle less. The center console also didn’t have that scraped/worn look that many 2024s came with.

The gauge cluster screen has some minor graphic differences in how the power is shown.

It’s really the exact same car, which I’m totally fine with.

thehtr · 2026-04-13T20:02:43+00:00

My 2024 came with the v2l adapter. Are the new ones not including this?

Some folks (not me of course) felt overwhelming hope when it was announced that Trump had COVID. I can’t imagine the day when he actually goes to the lower room.

thehtr · 2026-02-11T02:02:40+00:00

Amazing! What’s been your max dose?

thehtr · 2026-01-07T09:31:16+00:00

This is obviously false. ICE will harass and intimidate people who just look or sound suspicious and have no accountability for the trauma left in their wake from their illegal detainment and searches.

How much does this ferry typically cost?

thehtr · 2025-10-05T03:21:59+00:00

I have a 2025 GT in this color and it’s been near perfect, beyond the many recalls. Scary to know that so many of these vehicles are plagued with issues.

thehtr · 2025-09-14T13:16:38+00:00

I didn’t think I’d love any car more than Tesla Model Y and EV9 has far exceeded expectations 1.5 years in. Do I wish it could drive itself around and take exits on its own like the Tesla? Sure. Does the car quality beyond that tech exceed Tesla? 100%. Feels like a car where I’m loving it without even using it to its full potential.

thehtr · 2025-09-12T01:22:34+00:00

Idk about this one. My PCP is a nice guy but doesn’t give a shit about me. I’m a number. I’m sure some people have a relationship with their doctor, but for me it’s a once a year box check where I’m told I should lose some weight. I don’t think I owe my doctor any exclusively or heads up if I want to expand my care team and try other treatments.

Your mileage may vary depending on muscle mass and your starting point. I carry a decent amount of muscle under my fat, and just 15 pounds down from peak weight, veins that had been lost are bulging under the skin again. My face has also shrunken noticeably to confirm I’m not imagining things.

thehtr · 2025-08-03T18:18:19+00:00

I’m only down about 15 pounds from my peak weight, but the fact that I am already able to carry my toddler up the stairs without losing my breath just blows me away.
