A common complaint is that Hyundai cars have a droning EV noise, rather than a true punchy sound, and the reviewer agreed to this assessment.
The steering is light and has a flat bottom.
The reviewer did not like the key, finding it too lightweight, cheap, plasticky, and too large.
There is a front facing camera and a 360 camera. There is also a side turn signal activated camera.
You can’t use power alone to drift because power is front biased, or initiate over steer using throttle application.
It rides comfortably, handles highway driving. It's great to bomb down a dirt road in.
You will have a fun, enjoyable experience driving this vehicle.
