Had these on trial at work for a few weeks. Sadly the dual clutch boxes are clunky and jerky when changing between power modes.

Not a bad car otherwise, I think you will be sad at how much the gearbox spoils the ride. Toyota have got the hybrid experience down to a tee, the IONIQ just misses the mark.

A shame, VW has ended funding in its DSG programme, other brands are switching to faster, more fuel efficient and smoother torque converter boxes and CVTs. Shame Hyundai - Kia were so late to this party as it leaves them looking like they are behind.

Don't hire this car with out going to the dealers for a serious test drive in real world conditions.

As you now know you were wrong, why don't you just delete your original post?

is that the plug in hybrid?

Price quoted in OP doesn't include VAT. Just been quoted £128 for base model 9+23

Done

A great offer but only 18 months, so an average of £192 per month compared to £171 for this one.

Found another offer on Hyundai Ioniq SE..

http://www.endeavourautomotive.co.uk/hyundai/new-car-offers/hyundai-ioniq-offers/
The Hybrid SE model is now available from just £56 per month with £2,500 initial rental on Personal Contract Hire (12,000 miles per annum, 18 month contract – Hyundai IONIQ Hybrid 1.6 SE*).

@groenleader

Saw the comments in the hyundai and you mention that in your fleet you have the toyota prius.

I would be seriously interested in buying any Prius's you can get your hands on as long as they are min 2011 im happy. Mileage isnt an issue. So if you can get your hands on any before your company sends them off to the auction, give me a shout as theres a chance here for you and me both to make some money.

You rarely find a bad review these days. Even places like Honest John which used to be quite good tend to be less critical. They all tend to take the positive approach's, ie. overwhelmingly why would like the car rather then why would should not.

Auto journalism is, at least at the this period dead. Mostly as result of non traditional out lets reviewing cars they were not given by the manufactures and giving favourable reviews which their specific genre of reader would enjoy, or not even driving them (MSN Motors were a classic) and simply writing reviews on good things based on pictures and specs, not even by people driving them!

The days of describing a car as the "automotive equivalent of horse manure" are over, for now at least, until every one complains that are not critical enough!

Owner forums are your best bet for problems, experiences etc.

We took delivery of an Ioniq a couple of weeks ago. It's been absolutely fine to drive. I have to admit though, I haven't been round Silverstone in it :smile:

Pl contact Andrew from Murley Hyundai, Warwick. Only few in stock in Black & Silver !

I got a quote for £160 inc vat (6+23 months) for 10K PA for Hybrid SE with metallic paint from local Hyundai dealers :sunglasses:

I've read a few reviews of this car and none of them say there's a big problem with the transmission. It's not popular just because it's a fairly newly released car. This is a good alternative to the Prius especially at this price.

I was quoted £253 at 15k miles a year on the premium one of these. The dct though as many people have said is crap. It's not good when you're pottering about and doesn't get any less clunky when you stick it into sport mode and floor it.

Decided instead to go for a Leon Coupe FR tech for £203 15k a year miles instead.

**just a note that both of these quotes were initial rental only and no deposit at all

Sorry but I don't understand lease deals - you have use of a brand new car for two years and you're expected to pay for this service? It should be free.

Hyundai believe this car will be worth £10500 after three years and 45k miles...

Try the car out for yourselves folks, I don't think Groenleader is being entirely fair (he has demonstrated 'badge buyer' tendencies in previous car deal threads).

I imagine VW Group have ditched DSG because they couldn't get it right, it's definitely not 'past it' technology. Weirdly though, I would say CVT is...Hyundai-Kia have used DCT for around 5 years now in the UK (probably longer elsewhere in the World) this isn't their first attempt.

This is a bargain at around £2000 a year.

There is a del cost if you are not within a100miles
"We charge £1.25 per mile over 100 miles that we deliver"

Given this is a lease not an ownership problem. DCT has its advantages too though: a DCT transmission gives 6 solid ratios rather than epicyclic.

yes ..

Fleet managers are walking away and the showroom price is too much.

Even sales/PCH etc. of the new Prius are down to the general public due to the price increase. Auris, hatch or estate is a better deal.

I just got a quote for 24 months.
3 months up front and £150.08 for bal 23 months.
Includes Metallic paint and maintenance.

was looking to get one as the deals are very
affordable.
now a bit concerned

Sincere apologies: I though that your quote was for the Premium model. The quote you mention is for the SE model.

Ticks a lot of boxes. 'Skinny' wheels apparently
