Still fk all, got a dealer phone call today saying they’ve heard fk all.
I’ve virtually accused my dealer of being on stop with Hyundai biggrin
FB is full of people taking delivery which pisses me off.

Had a call from the VIP team saying my chosen car colour wasn’t available (gold matt with black) but they had gold with teal & grey - that’ll do and they’ve included mats so that explains why my car wasn’t showing up.

Fingers crossed not too long now

Very disappointed with the #Hyundai #Ionic5, poor ride, rattles from the interior, speed hidden in a blind spot behind the steering wheel on low-resolution 80s style screens.

Terrible service from Bristol Street dealership in Nottingham as well.

AVOID
Someone run over your cat ? It’s fine you probably had one thats had 1000 test drives in 3 weeks.
I’m coming from the Bentayga and had no issues with the ride.

So call from the dealer brand director saying it’s due next week, where’s it been for 3 weeks?

I did think of cancelling but I can’t think of any other car around £50k thats as interesting.

I like the E-tron gt but it’s £130k - Model X is interesting but really £££

This will do till the Touareg arrives

So go and buy another 'interesting car" aka a fridge
What's "interesting" about the Ioniq 5? The looks are challenging (you'll love or hate it), and beyond that it does things lots of other electric cars do already...
Why connect on things you’re not interested in, years on here just to drudge around slipping in uninformed crap.

Look at the spec, tell me how fast it charges and the possibilities of V2L

Who says I'm not interested in it? My next car will be an EV, so on the contrary, I'm very interested in it. My question is genuine.
You said what’s interesting and mentioned looks and nothing else - why comment when you’ve done no research on the interesting aspects of the car?

I’m quite tempted by the Ioniq 5 (just a boggo Premium) and I’ve been offered a great trade-in price on my ID.3. I’m just a bit worried about paying full retail for it though. I’m always changing cars but I usually manage a healthy discount on the incoming one, which minimises the losses. I’m concerned these may not hold their value too well and there’s the potential to take a serious bath.
2% off with affinity is as good as it gets for now. The cars are limited which is a good thing, new factory builds will probably land next year now.

I’ve taken the plunge after a second test drive this morning. Only a Premium but I can have it in 10 days.
I think The premium has the lay flat kip whilst you’re charging seats. I test drove one - all good

Just checked on the website - relaxation seats are an option even on the Ultimate, so my lowly Premium won’t be anywhere near them. Maybe part of the Tech pack?
Yes / sorry part of tech pack and included on my p45

I’m hopeful for next week, got a hire Vauxhall Crossland that if it didn’t say petrol on the cap you’d think was diesel - what a crap engine.

So got my Affinity paperwork sorted my sis in law is a teacher which gets me 2% £960

Free mats as I agreed to change interior colour (they sold the same car twice)

PCP longest time, 5k miles, £5k down (less than the unexpected equity in my wife’s car) - idea is to run it until my Toureg R comes which is fully optioned and has no build date (if I cancel certain options I get a build date but I want a fully kitted out car)
