I've had an Ioniq since last spring, and while I briefly looked at the Mercedes, it was never a serious contender for me given its cost. The ioniq is awesome, though. The only complaints I have are really minor. Now, part of my love for the car is that it is my first EV, and EVs are just way better than ICE cars - except for the range issue, and we just drive around town 99% of the time, so that's a non issue. It is just so much simpler, powerful, and fun than I expected.

The ioniq 5, specifically, is great, although I kind of wish we would've waited for the 2025 model. I like physical buttons (which is one of the reason I like the Ioniq) and the 2025 model added some more. Plus it has wireless Android Auto, and a few other nice improvements.

Oh, the only actual complaint, still minor, is that it's turning radius isn't the greatest. That's really the only thing that bugs me about it.
