Well worth the wait...

We researched this car for over two months before we were even able to find the one we wanted, but it was well worth the wait! This is a great vehicle! Its multiple drive modes adapt the car to whatever type driving you want to do. It's small enough to get in and out of tight spaces, but doesn't feel like you're crammed into a sardine can. The 1.6l turbo engine gives it nice acceleration and power while still being quite frugal on gas. (We get 35 hwy even with the cruise on 75) When we found this car, it was the only Kona on the lot and was exactly the one we were looking for. I'm glad it was there!

Hyundai Kona

I love this car great gas mileage and I would recommend it to anyone. Looking forward to getting another one in the blue color. I would have gotten this car for my daughter, but they didn't have great deals on the 2018.

Great care

The Kona is a little small, our previous vehicle was a Tuscon, but it makes up for it in fuel economy and nimble handling. The Turbo engine is quick and very responsive. We love the Kona. It's fun to drive and great on long trips.

2018 kona limited

Bought it for the AWD and the sport mode and the body style and it was the only Hyundau SUV I could afford even with a sizable downpayment. The Kona is over priced. Ie been a Hyundai customer for the last 12 years purchased 2 Hyundai's Nd leased two.

Sporty and perfect

Full tech package is the way to go. Safety features to prevent accidents are key. Everyone who sees it loves the bright blue color. Comfortable for long car rides. Handles well with ice. Satellite remote start feature is luxurious and a must for any future vehicles I will ever have - spoiled. So many automatic sensors for everything--feels very high tech and worth more than I bought it for.

Kona review

Car is smaller than I would like, safety is great in Konas, my wife was on freeway when a vehicle crept into her lane, the car on its own swayed away from the creeping car preventing her from having a accident.

Love the Kona

Its ease of operating and all the bells and whisles makes it so much a pleasure to drive and also it is a safety provider. Love the GPS system; it gets me around to where I have to go without using too much gasoline. I have been asked by several people about it and they are impressed.

Good start, but needs further refinement.

Kona ultimate package is nicely equipment and design is stylish. Cabin is a bit noisy, but I guess that is expected with a small car. Auto transmission is not that smooth and tends to make some noise during gear engagement or switching, but was told that is to be expected and operating normally. Overall ride is decent for small car, although steering is noticeably tighter/stiffer than other cars in its class. Also, at time of this writing, still having service issues with auto drifting even with perfect alignment. For small basic car base or middle package may be good value, but Ultimate package with notably higher quality features, may not be best overall value. One minor pet peeve, even when buying the "Ultimate" package, you still need to purchase basic car mats.

The Kona is truly a “lady”

A very nice edition of a cross over vehicle b. Nice feeling of not small but not big. Rides well. Never knew how much I missed seat heaters until I had them. Shouldn’t have to put a minimum 200 characters

nice car

we like our KONA, easy to drive and good gas mileage. Its big enough for our needs yet small enough to be fun to drive. 7000 miles on it so far with no complaints on any of the features on it. This is my 7th. Hyundai so that should say a lot about the way I feel .

Excellent vehicle though poor seating design.

Overall an excellent performing vehicle. The 3 mode option covers all driving styles. Handling is very good on hilly roads and sport option for that extra oomph up the hills, though brakes a bit soft through the bendy sections. I like a good driving posture and once I fitted the ARB adjustable lumbar support system ($120) and modified the headrests the driving position is now excellent. I don't know what Hyundai were thinking when they designed the seats. Maybe OK for someone with a curved spine. I only scored comfort as 5 as I had to make some (legal) corrections to the seating.

Satisfied

We like this vehicle and find it an excellent value. It is fun to drive and easy on the gas bills. The performance and acceleration far exceeded our expectations. We have driven crossovers in the compact and subcompact classes that we found very disappointing by comparison. We feel we made the right choice picking the Kona.

I'm still getting use to it. It

It has options I am not familiar with and I don't get to use all the options because I don't know how. Otherwise it is a good little car. It is smaller than I thought when I bought it. You can't drive it with anyone other than a small child in the back. I'm sure I will learn to get the best out of this vehicle as I will be paying good money for it. It is stylish and can move on down the road. It seem to be noisy with road sounds when the windows are rolled down.
