It looks nice, but I just can't get excited over electric cars. I'm going to have to shift my thinking away from driving being a fun thing to it being purely functional.
dkronfeld
But that doesn't mean I'm judging you for lusting over that Ioniq 
OhCecilia
dkronfeld
: but it has a sport mode!
OhCecilia
dkronfeld
Unless that sport mode includes a third pedal and s stick shift, it's not one 
OhCecilia
the N may be more your speed

If I were being realistic and looking at changing what I have now, I'd probably be looking at a Golf R.
dkronfeld
I'm really impressed with how far Hyundai has come over the past couple of decades though.

: Golf is nice! And yes, Hyundai has done well. I'm into cars purely for the aesthetics but I did have to do some research on the brand for school and it has a great track record.

Nice.

having had 2 full evs i can say the number one thing about both was how fun to drive they are. how sporty and responsive. its different than my 5 speed, sure, but no less fun. crazy torque.
Max Graf
love the ioniq
Prue
It looks great, and the aerodynamic design should be standard for EVs. Too pricey and impractical for us though. We're about to trade in our wee Leaf for an MG5.
Prue
And yeah, I think people don't get how nice and torquey EVs are. Even the leaf can press you back into the seats if you disable 'Eco' mode
OhCecilia
I’m all about the aesthetics tbh but fun to drive doesn’t hurt. We can’t even dream about this car anytime soon unless we win the lottery or something, lol. But it sure is purty
Prue
Lol yeah we looked at it, went 'oooo', then looked at the price and went 'fook that'
Prue
And I'm not about acceleration when it comes to cars either, but it's fun to disengege eco mode and freak passengers out when they mumble something about "electric cars ... poor performance" etc 
dkronfeld
Yeah, I've driven a Tesla Model 3. I found it amazingly quick and utterly soulless.
