2018 Kona

Great small SUV. Love the peppy turbo engine. Design is great. Good gas mileage. Decent cargo space for small SUV. Good quality car. Happy that Hyundai fixed the DCT issue from previous years. I would recommend this SUV

HYUNDAI KONA

Really enjoy my Hyundai Kona. Made the right decision when purchasing. Even though it's a small SUV it has plenty of room. Would recommend this dealership to friends and family. The service department is excellent.

Fabulous

The only thing I would improve on is the transmission. Not smooth at all and up-shifts unnecessarily quite often, especially when Cruise Control engaged. This reflects on fuel consumption. Overall this is a great vehicle.

Great Little Car

Having gone through a series of reviews, I'd say the car has met my expectations. It's fast and nimble around the city, capable on less improved roads, versatile, and comfortable. It's both the fastest and the nicest car I've ever owned.

Love my car!!!

I love most everything about my Kona!!! This car is fun to drive, gets great gas mileage and has lots of amenities that most consumers require these days. I do wish the trunk were just a bit larger.

Great Price, Great Value, Great Little SUV!

I have a 2018 Hyundai Kona SEL and so far it has been an excellent purchase. I came to the Kona from a Veloster and they are night and day different (as you would expect going from a 'sports car' to an SUV) but I'm happy to say that the Kona easily makes up for the faults I tolerated in the Veloster. The Kona is smooth, quiet, easy to get in/out and the engine is quiet. One of the BIGGEST improvements over the Veloster is the transmission. Both have a dual-clutch transmissions but the one in the Veloster was atrocious... never knew what gear it wanted to be in and at times when there was a sudden hard press of the accelerator, the car would rev up but never go into gear... very dangerous! The Kona does not suffer this gear confusion at all and has a decent amount of acceleration for a small 4-cylinder SUV. Gas mileage has been superior as well. I give kudos to Hyundai as well for the level of tech that is included on these cars by default. Just a few years back, blind spot monitoring and backup cameras were only available on the highest end models of any cars, now Hyundai includes those and more on a mid-range SUV. I highly recommend the Hyundai Kona!

Should have kept my 2017 Elantra Limited

Too much road noise on any type of road - makes it hard to have a conversation with passengers or listen to the radio. Gas mileage is poor even on highway. I had to add to the sound system to get it to send better.

I love my Hyundai Kona!

This car has all wheel drive, it almost steers itself, XM radio, heated front seats, very smooth 6-speed automatic transmission and a 2-liter engine. On trips I always average about 35 miles per gallon. This is a calculated number, not what the computer says. When going up a hill the transmission will smoothly shifts from 6th to 5th. Some other cars will shift from 6th to 4th with an abrupt shift. They have essentially a 4-speed with two overdrives. The Kona has a true 6-speed transmission. I love the backup camera, the warning if cars are coming from either side in back and the warning about cars in the "blind spots". For me it's a keeper.

This car is amazing in every way. Everything is thought through, comfortable, and fun. The car gets up and is very safe and smooth. The AWD works like a dream, sport more is so exciting and fun. Plenty of space all around.

Hyundai Kona 2018

Great car. Needs a softer suspension. Rides a little rough. Definitely needs a bolder horn. Can't hear it and it sounds like a bicycle horn. Biggest item needing to be standard is electronic access to the hatchback via an interior button and the key fob. It is considered an upgrade. I have everything you would want electronically in the vehicle. I find it strange electronic access to the hatchback is not standard.

My 18 Kona

I chose the 2018 Kona, because of its unique style and I wouldn't see it at every turn of the corner, my previous vehicle was the 2014 Elantra ♥️ it. I'm a frugal type of guy and the Kona gives me everything I need and wanted. Zippy 4 cyl and I got used to buying cheap gas after the Elantra, but wanted an AWD vehicle Kona SEL fits the bill.

The Kona has great safety features and is very comfortable to drive. Handling in bad weather is excellent. Engine acceleration with the turbo engine makes highway merging easy. Sound system is great.

Great small vehicle which saves you on the gas bill. It has comfort until you hit the bumps in the road. I like the parking backup camera as well as the size of the vehicle. The beauty of the is great.

Kona

I really enjoy my Kona. The Kona holds its own on the highway and the gas mileage is awesome. The vehicle is nice, comfortable for me not enough leg room but it does ride smoothly. My next one with have to be automatic not manual.

Safe, Stylish, Happy Experienec with Kona

I purchased the Kona after replacing my beloved 2001 Toyota RAV4. The Kona was the right size, right attitude, had great fuel efficiency. Has as the modern safety and entertainment features. The only area that can be improved is the inside cabin noise while driving. Most people don't notice this. Every time I walk to my vehicle I smile. It's an excellent car.

My kona

Enjoying the ease of use. Travels well. Bluetooth connection works well. Love the android auto. It aids in navigation and so easily viewed. Ability to adjust seats and lumbar support adds greatly to comfort while driving. Love the mileage I'm getting and ease of calculation of each trip
