Hyundai Kona

Traded in a Prius for a Kona...Great mileage, Better Price and best Warranty. Built well, drives great. Having traded in a Prius, I decided not to get another Prius because the small difference in gas mileage, ( I have been averaging 35miles per gallon) was made up for in the quality, warranty and Price of the Hyundai Kona

Really enjoying my Kona

I like everything about the Kona except the tailgate is difficult for me to pull down with one arm (not as young as I used to be). I knew this when I bought it. However, when my lease is up I will not buy again unless there is an improved tailgate door. That being said, it drives nice and has a lot of safety features, back up camera, lane changer signal, lane warning going over the lines, etc. Looks good also!

Happy, happy, happy

This vehicle has been flawless. 18,000+ miles and absolutely no issues of any kind. Great gas mileage. AWD really helps in the snow. Many comments received concerning this vehicle -- really an eyecatcher.

Ideal small car

Needs more trunk space, but otherwise a great vehicle. Great gas mileage and ease of handling. A little snug behind driver if they’re tall. The one feature that could be improved on is the trunk storage space.

Hyundai Kona 2018

I love this car. I have had this for one year now. I’m very happy with this car. It runs smoothly. I like GPS so I won’t get lost easy. The night visor is very clear. When I use back of the car, the camera back of the car is very clear at night also day, too.

Sweet car

Great little mini SUV. I travel 100+ miles a day. Has been great for commute. Comfortable and fun to drive. I hope to pass this car on to my granddaughter in a few years, it's that sturdy and reliable.

Great Buy - Kona Limited!!!

I didn't even know the Kona existed until the day I bought mine! So happy my dealer showed it to me! I was not planning on buying a car, just came in to look and they made me a deal I couldn't refuse!

I love my Kona

The Kona is my third Hyundai purchase. While the first two were outstanding, the Kona is my favorite. From styling, ease of use, and the excellent amenities that come standard, the Kona is fun to drive. To top it off, the gas mileage is phenomenal!

love my kona

I have not regretted a day purchasing this 2018 Kona. Its a joy to drive and I have gotten lots of positive remarks about it. Its a smaller suv, but its just me in the car unless my dog, bella, jumps in. Great handling. had to get used to the 4 cylinder engine since I had a 6 cylinder previously but have found it has enough get up and go for me.....

Love my kona

Love this car! It is easy to drive and park while offering me a sense of safety and security. This is the first car I have owned that I consistently use the cruise control. The easy to access controls on the steering wheel are a plus.

Luxury Ride Without the Price

I have had my Hyundai Kona for a year now and truly enjoy it. It handles well on the road with little to no exterior noise while driving. The stereo system and safety features on the car are great, and it comes with Apple Play as well.

Love my Kona!

I have had the Kona for 17 months and it is one of the best AWD I owned. It has great gas mileage and the compact size of this SUV is just right for me. I am happy I purchased this in July of 2018. I traded in a perfectly good Hyundai Elantra for the Kona.

Spunky and Sporty

Love my Kona! It's small, fits me, great mpg. Very nimble. Plenty of spunk and great styling--inside and out. Comfortable and cute as heck. The exterior styling is edgy and unique. The cargo area is spacious and the rear seats fold down easily. The media/entertainment system is so easy to use. Great display, easy touch controls, seamless bluetooth and carplay features.

2018 Kona

The Kona is amazing on gas and fun to drive. It's comfortable both in the front and back. The back seats fold down to give lot's of storage room. There are almost no blind-spots! It handles great on curves and in the rain, The ac cools down the car quickly in the Fl heat.I would buy this car again.

Love this Crossover!

I absolutely love this vehicle. I’ve had mine for a little over a year now and it still drives like a dream. I don’t think I could ever go back to a vehicle without turbo, it’s extremely helpful getting on any highway. The Kona also handles great in the snow. Last November we had a freak snow storm that came out of nowhere and dumped about 5 inches. Everyone else I work with that didn’t have 4-wheel drive got stuck trying to get home from work except me! The Kona handles great in all types of weather! Highly recommend!

Best car around!

Excellent car. Drives great, love the style. We have always purchased Hyundai vehicles . We never had problems. I wanted to get an suv for me. I am a small person and most suvs are too big for me. Then the Kona was introduced. It is an suv but a smaller size. Perfect for me. I love it. The only drawback, though minor, is the trunk is small. Though put the back seats down, it’s fine. I highly recommend this car!

Do not purchase

This is the worst vehicle I have purchased. Stick to Honda or Toyota for cars. I will not purchase a Hyundai product again. Service was terrible and the car reflects the service offered at Hyundai dealerships. I do not recommend a Hyundai especially this model of car.

Excellent value

I like the way it handles it's easy to park and enjoyable to drive. The seats are comfortable , no blind spots. looks very sporty with it's chrome rims and the dashboard is easy to read. The front end looks aggressive , not generic. Good all around looking vehicle.
