Needed the features this car offers
Needed to replace 2016 VW Golf Wagen for a vehicle higher off the ground, safer, a bit more economical on fuel, and with current features. The Kona has all this and is a fun car to drive. I don't prioritize the car's looks - the front and rear are a bit chunky but the other features make up for that. It's a truly 2022 car, which takes a while for me to learn (love the screen, and features that improve the driving experience: auto-high headlight dimming when opposing car comes my way, alerts to drifting in lane, terrific warnings that are well-calibrated if you're about to do a lane change into traffic, alerts for speed cameras, road conditions ahead, etc. It takes some getting used to, but I'm catching up with it and like the features. Alert: it really doesn't have much cargo space - consider your individual needs.
