Decent vehicle

This is a decent vehicle, it rides well. It is good on gas. Stereo system is very good. I only have a couple of issues, not a lot of room in the back seat for more than 2 people and when I back up and then place in drive it will sputter.

Hyundai Kona

This is my 5th Hyundai in my family. I went from a Durango to a Sonata to a Kona. My wife has had 2 Elantras, and when my son as ready for a new car we got him an Elantra. We have been extremely happy with our Hyundai's. I can move bags of top soil and mulch in the spring with no problem. The car runs well, and gets great gas mileage.

Love this car

This is a cute fun cafe that I leased. My last car was a Hyundai Elantra GT. The Kona is a bit bigger and has newer upgrades than the Elantra. I love that it is a smaller crossover and the sporty style.

kona Review

It's my wife's car she chose the Kona for it's size, color, appearance and drivability. I find it hard to believe but, more than once, strangers in a super market parking lot have complimented us on our "cute little car" I Insisted on the safety package which was a REALLY GOOD decision. It has paid for itself a number of times in different ways.

Hyundai Kona is perfect for anyone wanting an SUV, but doesn't need a big gas guzzler.

I love this vehicle! I've purchased nothing but Hyundai's since 2001 and I will likely be a lifer. I've owned an Elantra, 2 Tucson's and now my Kona. This is by far my favorite. It has such a sporty feel, but has enough space for my 3 person family and gets amazing gas mileage.

My 3rd Hyundai. Always

Love my Kona. Like most is the all wheel drive, otherwise its in front wheel drive. Great for gas mileage. Like the warranty. Always had good luck with the company. Dont see too many Kona’s on the road.

Hyundai Kona

I really like this vehicle. It's Small, but the seats are roomy and it's easy to get in and out. I actually picked this model because my Mom (age 95) was able to get in and out easily even though she uses a walker. The headroom is good. My only complaint is there is not much rear legroom. The car gets good fuel economy - about 24 in town and 30 on the highway. Acceleration is decent (I'd actually like it to be a little quicker) and there's a manual shift mode and sport mode. Steering and braking are very good. The screen display works with android and apple phones. I'm really impressed with using Google Maps on my phone for navigation. Safety features include rear view camera, blind spot warning, and all-wheel drive. The car seems well made and good quality.

After. First year of owning Kona

My Kona I wish it had Blue Link we miss it. We are unhappy for not getting Blue link when we purchased car. The car is very comfortable when driving long distance. The tailgate is hard to keep clean The rest of the car stays spotless I don’t know why. The armrest seems a little small side with two people trying to use it it’s impossible. We were in a friends Tucson. The Tucson is the same problem the corner has with the armrest.

Great Crossover with a Great Ride

Absolutely love my purchase of the Kona. Even more so when I hear that it is rated so well over all the others in the media. Fun to drive with a great ride for city and country driving. It is fun to drive in the city and even more so when out on the highway.

Kona Lover

Ordinarily we would not buy a car on it's first model year but we had a very specific list of needs and wants. We needed adequate driver legroom in a vehicle small enough to fit our garage. We were also looking lost of power a good gas milage. Our 2018 Kona delivered it all. Great tech features, plenty of cabin space and comfort for long trips. Plus, fantastic acceleration and 38+ mpg on the highway with regular gas. Kona is the best compact SUV on the market in its price range!

fun little car for the SUV beginner

Fun little car. So far has proven its worth. Do not like the small cargo area. Fuel economy is good. Love safety features like the lane change assist and backup cameras. Disappointed that this model did not come with bluelink available.

Good performance and style

I have been impressed with all the features and smooth ride. Has great takeoff but seems to stop on a dime. Handles well. Lot of compliments on the color and look of the car. Look forward to having the car for several years to come

Transmission

I have been complaining about my transmission regarding the shifter. 1-At times is very hard to shift from park to drive. 2- when accelerating is very slow to respond to the need of more speed resulting in stepping on the pedal hard and the RPM gauge goes wildly higher than normal

HYUNDAI KONA

Glad I purchased the Hyundai Kona 2018 from Wayne Hyundai dealership. It is comfortable driving, gas mileage is great, the transmission switches with no problem, the engine runs smooth. It's easy to operate.

All that I hoped it would be

Comfortable. Fun. Easy to drive. Reliable. Safe. Roomy. Love my Kona!!!! Looked at all comparable vehicles. No contest. This is my third Hyundai. It is all I hoped it would be and I am getting 32 mpg city and highway combined. Could not be happier.
