Pt 3. I love the regen paddles! EVERY EV SHOULD OFFER THEM! Not only do they make driving more engaging, but they're also safer when you want to switch between regen settings for maximum efficiency. Thank you Hyundai Group for sticking with them!

Pt 4. The software in the Polestars remains superior to every car I've ever owned. Definitely a step down in the Hyundai and basically being forced to use wired android auto sucks. The range guess o meter in the Ioniq isn't very good whereas the Polestars were unbelievably accurate.
Pt 5. The level 2 autonomy is acceptable in both vehicles, but I give the edge to the Ioniq. Mainly because I don't have to jerk the wheel and can keep my hands off for longer. In slower traffic it's completely hands free. You can just sit and look at your phone in stop and go.
Pt 6. The efficiency is hard to judge at this point. My last Polestar was rwd with a bigger battery and I only had it during warmer weather. My Ioniq is awd and it's been damn cold since I got it. It would be unfair to compare, but I will say my battery range now feels lower than ever.
Pt 7. I havnt needed any work for the Ioniq, but I know I'm going to miss the 5 star treatment I got from Polestar Portland. It's simply the difference between a volume brand and a luxury brand. I'm still in touch with the local Polestar owner though and plan to still be involved with them.
Pt 8. Another aspect I can't assess is the snow/ice capabilities. My awd Polestar was an absolute beast on non studded winter tires. I've never felt more planted on snow and ice. We've had neither of those things since I've had the Ioniq or even my rwd Polestar.
Pt 9. I think the only sedan I've ever sat in that had more rear seat legroom than the Ioniq 6 was a Lucid Air. It's miles better than the Polestar which is somewhat expected since the Polestar 2 sits on an ICE CUV platform.
