Good car good value

I had a Tucson for 10 years and it was perfect. A car hit it and totaled it. I looked at Toyota. Heard a lot about how safe they are. The price was quite higher than I could afford. Since I had a Hyundai I decided to go back and looked and found one I liked. So I bought it.

Drives excellently

The financing was easy, sales people were very informative and explained my options as far as getting the best deal available for me. I have not had any problems with my new Kona. The drive is smooth and comfortable.

Kona EV is wonderful!

Had it a year, 7000 miles. No gas, no pollution, good range, no complaints at all. Plus it's adorable. Ride is great, getting in and out easy. Storage good, with neat little grippers to hold stuff in place. Voice system is excellent. Only reason reliability is 9 is I've only had it a year.

Excellent

I am very satisfied with my purchase. There is nothing I would change about this car. I would buy it again. So far the only thing thta I have been annoyed wit his the amount of questions you ask in your survey.

Scott’s car

I like that it came with AWD option and with Apple CarPlay. I like all the safety features, the alloy wheels and body styling. The gas mileage is a plus and the smooth ride the Kona provides is phenomenal.

Fun, easy to drive and park

Love my new car because it’s easy to maneuver and fun to drive. I like the styling and color also. My gas mileage has been as good as 40 mpg on the highway. Another thing I have loved is the back up camera.

Great fun to drive affordable vehicle.

This is an easy to get used to vehicle. It rides well and is heavy enough to feel safe in bad weather. The AWD is a great safety feature. The safety features keep the car in the lane when driving and have alarms for distance and staying in lanes. Once you get used to them they are helpful. This is a fun car to drive and is not to big to handle. Easy to park and has tight turn radius.

Good car, terrible dealer

Dealer unethical and used my age and inability to walk very far to take advantage of me. When i complained to corporate HQ, they told me they had no control over dealers fraudulent practices and I had to work it out with them! Experience leaves me with conviction of never leasing/buying another Hyundai.

Great sporty hatchback disguised as a crossover

Overall the 2023 Hyundai Kona SEL is a great car for me as I need the fuel economy that it provides as well as being quick and tighter around corners than expected. It makes for a fun daily driver that I can rely on every day.

Great vehicle, but the starter battery issue is a killer

This is a great car -- great range, great handling, super responsive. But the fact that Hyundai either won't or can't address the starter battery issue is the main reason I'm giving this car a three-star. Every 4-6 months, the car will just be dead -- and we've been very conscientious about turning EVERYTHING off before we exit the car, not leaving car doors open or the trunk open for long periods of time, basically anything that could drain the battery when the ignition is off. But the battery just drains. And then we take it into the Hyundai dealer, they keep it for a day, then say "Nope. Car is fine!" Then 4-6 months later, same thing happens. I've stopped bringing it into the dealer because it's just too frustrating. So I just make sure I have a portable charger in my car. Yeah, not ideal. So if you're looking for a dependable car, look elsewhere, because this car will just conk out for no discernible reason.

Not a bad little car

I’m very impressed with the 2023 Hyundai Kona. It’s a good little vehicle to get back-and-forth in Nice features very sleek design. Really enjoy the way it drives not really a car for a large family

I loved this vehicle ... until I didn't

I took my vehicle in for a complimentary oil change and rodent damage was found under the hood. Apparently, this is a known issue, but the dealership was not interested in helping find a resolution. While courts have found that the soy-based elements in the engine compartment don't necessarily attract rodents, they are softer than typical plastic parts and easier to chew (and thus damage). I loved this vehicle until I found out about all of this; now I am stressed and quite upset that the manufacturer hasn't taken any preventative steps.

Overall quality good, was surprised that the horn stop working withing first year and that it was so difficult to locate and fixe. Also gas mileage was not as good as our previous Hyundai Elantra as I expected it would be.

there are better ones with the same price point

poor customer service from marketing all the way to service, buyers remorse, stick to toyota or honda to get your moneys worth, hard to get your car service no walk ins, a simple change oil will take 2-3 months, features are not itemized

Dealer said my payments would remain the same. He lied and then said Bank would refinance it since I had good credit. Another lie.

The car is cute but way too small and not big enough to even do road trips. No room in the trunk and can't take a back seats out to make room for anything. Dealer will lie and say the new payments will remain the same but then they tack on over $5000.00 in Fees and Intrest rates. Bank won't refinance it and warned about being ripped off my dealer.

BUENA

FUE BUENA, EN CUESTION DE LAS PARTE EXTERIOR E INTERIOR, SOLO EN CUASTION DEL VOLUMEN EN LLAMADAS ES BAJO EL SONIDO, EN EL CONTROL REMOTO NO FUNCIONA EL BOTON DE ENCENDIDO REMOTO, EL SEGURO DE LAS PUESTAS NO SE ACTIVA A UNA CIERTA VELOCIDAD.

Great car

The KONA is a well-built car with great value. I think for 2023, the SUV really looks like an SUV and with AWD, is great in the winter. The IVT transmission is the best one I have ever owned. Good job Hyundai for the quality you put into your cars.

love to drive

The purchasing process was a little lengthy and so was the trade in process. when it came down to signing papers this process was easy. The dealership helped with transferring all that was in my trade car. And all in all it was a smooth transition.

2023 Kona more cons than pros

Good driving car when the Transmission isn't hesitating. Great gas mileage, nice sound system. Engine ticking nose is very annoying. There is no room so dont buy if you have growing kids or big fam.
