Salesmanship and this specific deal

Have bought eight Hyundais and a Genesis. This time we tried two other Hyundai dealerships also. First one, after 30 minutes had to ask receptionist to get us a salesperson. She said they were watching a soccer match and she would get one. He gave one solid price and basically said take it or leave it. Second dealership, very busy and no one ever came to help us. Back to our regular dealership, always good experience. However, the first salesman sold us a Kona and two adverse things happened: first, when the second salesman went to show us the electronics, etc., we found out the first salesman had not told us several things about the model we bought, for example, no Sirius radio, no driving direction screen without hooking up my own phone, etc. I was displeased but took the car. On the next business day, the second salesman called and had worked out a deal with a better model. Secondly, we had just refinanced our house, and our credit rating had dropped. We had to go with a higher rate. Having been a Hyundai customer for years and having never missed a payment, I thought we should have been given a better rate.

Iron Man is fantastic!

I love this car. It's a head-turner. The 4-cylinder gets great mileage, and even when you put it in sport mode (which you will want to do if you're in big-city traffic), the mileage is respectable. Avengers Assemble!

2019 Hyundai Kona

My wife and I are very pleased with our purchase of our Kona. we have been driving Toyota vehicles for the past 20 years and my wife decided to visit a Hyundai dealer after leaving our Toyota dealer very disappointed with their pricing and back and forth negotiating. We gave them our price we would pay and they kept sending different management to us to negotiate. We left there and past the Hyundai dealer on the way home and stop just to look. Lo and behold we purchased our Kona within 2 hours . Our salesman met out price and monthly payment. We will hopefully upgrade to a Tuscon within the next two years if the price is right,

Ghost engine problems

Vehicle went in 4 times in 10 months for engine failure. Ended up an issue no one could fix. Hyundai wouldn't swap me a new one, did a buyback where I definitely lost money and the service was terrible. This was my 3rd Hyundai and i loved this car (green limited) but i ended up buying a toyota outright because my experience was so poor and I no longer trust the brand.

My new Kona

This was purchased as a second car,but we like it as well as our primary vehicle. We took it on vacation and it was almost as comfortable as our new Kia Sorento. Would recommend this car to anyone looking for a crossover SUV .

Love my new Kona

Great looking, bought it with a black exterior and it looks sharp very. The ride is extremely comfortable and reliable. My Kona was a great value for the price I paid. The multimedia center is awesome, the camera screen when in reverse is helpful and new to me. The gas mileage (well over 35mph) is excellent. I get about 500 plus miles for tank full. I LOVE my new Kona, best car I've ever bought.

Almost perfect

The future is here. We have 5 autos. This is our first electric vehicle. We love it. However, we must upgrade our charging capacity and that costs money. We will need 2, 40 amp chargers.....expensive all around. We love the car. Overall excellent except for dangerous front wheel torque spin on wet roads This car must be AWD to avoid that..wake up engineers! We love the car and will certainly upgrade after 3 year lease. But will Tesla get our business? What will Hyundai do to keep us loyal?

Great Electric Vehicle

Hyundai Kona is an Excellent buy Hyundai’s Electric Vehicle Battery has a Lifetime Warranty and the Kona gets 250+ miles per full charge !! Nobody can beat this deal !! The Kona has lots of room ! Great legroom in the back two seats, which also fold down and create a huge cargo area to haul full size bicycles etc. !!

Love my Kona!

Love love love my Kona! It hugs the road. It is extremely responsive. It is comfortable to sit in and drive. Everything you need is at your fingertips. It has plenty of room for groceries or packages in the rear. And plenty of leg room in the backseat.

Kona EV - really happy with this car!

Just great, love driving and the feeling of doing something good for the environment at the same time. After a couple weeks have gotten used to the whole charge thing, and so many useful apps and charging stations that I didn't realize were there! Over 10,000 miles now and still as much fun as the first few. The only thing I can think of that isn't terrific is the "Catch 22" with charging at an Electrify America station, the Kona reports it can charge at 75kw so EA sticks it in the mid tier ($$) but it really doesn't charge at that rate. Most of the EA stations I've found are more like 45-50kw but they still bill at the higher rate! Not a disaster, but annoying.

Best Purchase ever!

I was looking for a step up in a vehicle to get an AWD with our horrible winter conditions. I love my Hyundai Kona! I’m so happy I got the trim level I really wanted with adding extra features and safety features I never realized were so important!

My Kona is noisy

I was rather excited upon finding out there was an Iron Man edition car out there... So, I took it for a test drive, enjoyed basically everything about the car and bought it. A week later, I would have returned it if that were possible. The road noise was simply ridiculous. When you have to increase the volume on the stereo to that degree simply to cover wind and road noise, something is not right. I used to get annoyed at people driving with ear buds in and now I'm one of them just so I can drive this car until I can sell it. Feel free to call me picky, but when you pay 30k + for a vehicle, you expect to be able to talk to passengers without raising your voice so much.

Love love love

Out of all the vehicles I have ever owned I can honestly say none of them were as fun to drive as my Kona. The seats are amazing! In most other vehicles I would end up with painful cramps after driving for long periods of time, my job is driving for long periods of time! I’m here to tell you there has never been a more comfortable ride than the Kona!!!! I got the green one and everyone tells me they love my vehicle!!! I love it too!

Kona review

Overall a very nice car. Styling Is great. Got the two-toned black on rd. Brings a lot of questions. Good size for my needs. Could be just a tad bigger. Like the grou clearance. Great safety features and comfort systems-especially the heated seats.

Nice little SUV

Purchased the Kona for my daughter. Choose an AWD small SUV for better handling in the bad weather and for her to haul her stuff to and from school. Chose Hyundai for its long warranty and reliability. This vehicle should remain under its factory warranty through college.

2019 Kona Ultimate

Smart handling, stylish and very fun to drive. Great sound system with smart phone integration and a fantastic navigation system. Despite it's small size it boasts enty of leg room. I am 6 feet tall and am quite comfortable in the car. Lots of amenities make it a great value for the money.

Awesome Rig

I have a 2019 Hyundai Kona Iron Man Edition I purchased around 9/15/2019. So far, I get killer mileage (about 28 combined) and it's a quick little thing. The 1.6L turbo doesn't mess around. It's no speed demon, but the power is there when you need it. The overall quality and level of detail is staggering considering what it is for its price bracket, because let's face it, $30k doesn't go as far as it used to.

2019 Kona

Bought new 2500 miles ago. This is my 4th new Hyundai purchase from the same dealer. Have not taken any long trips since purchasing. Basically been running errands and driving back and forth to work. So far I have been totally satisfied with my purchase, but I have only had it for about 5 weeks. Will need to have vehicle at least a year to give Hyundai an honest feedback. I do miss the CD player that I had in my 2016 Tuscon. I do very little when it comes to hooking other types of media in my vehicle. I went a step down when purchasing this vehicle because I need something a little cheaper because I have recently became a widower and I needed to have a lower payment and lower insurance payment.

Fun little CUV, good gas mileage and alot of pet. Handles exceptionally well and I used to drive a Z. I would recommend this vehicle to friends and family. Not alot of space in the back but I don't have kids so it works for me.
