Default We bought our first Hyundai
So today we did it. Pulled the trigger on a new Hyundai Ionic N…. Test drove a lot of cars and we kept coming back to the N.

Driving it with 600+ hp literally lit my heart on fire ❤️‍🔥 🔥

Spouse doesn’t recall the last time a car was so awesome.

Pics coming. Picking it up tomorrow

Wow! I didn't think you would ever buy a Hyundai. Is it the Ionic 5 or 6?

Congrats on the purchase. 641 hp right? Thing is a freakin rocket.

Congratulations.

Just a minor typo....I think you meant the Ioniq, not Ionic.

Bitkahuna had an Ioniq5 a few years ago, and, as I recall, was very pleased with it. But that was a somewhat different version from your much more sophisticated N.

So....apparantly, your attraction to this vehicle supersedes all of the Hyundai/Kia recall-posts you've made?
