I drive an Ioniq 6 as well and really like it. I got it as a one year old car with the big battery and highest interior line for 37k €. I like the user interface, it is one of the most efficient cars (I drive it at ~13.5 kWh/100km), can tow trailers, charges really fast, has a good overall range, supports Android Auto and Apple Carplay etc.
Downsides: It has an issue with an internal part called ICCU that breaks quite often (in forums people often experienced a failure after ~30000 km). Same issue with Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. It's covered by the warranty of course but still can be annoying.
The keyless system is apparantly not really secure and can be hacked easier than in other cars. Where I live (Germany) at least, this doesn't lead to higher theft cases compared to other brands, so for me that's not too bad.
PS: I do not charge at hone but exclusively at public stations. Charging at home for sure makes it cheaper and more convenient but still I wouldn't want want to go back to ICE.
The theft protection issue is not something to worry about in Europe. The European cars got an upgraded system due to regulations.
