Kona sel

I've always had sports cars, that being said , the styling of the Kona on a commercial is what caught my eye, and yes I have the surf blue in color. My last two cars mustang, veloster, were both totaled (not by me) and I can only hope I have this car as long as my mustang (20 yrs) I have a hill for a driveway and was in my glory when I had no trouble getting up it in the snow.

Kona. Excellent economy

I purchased for an economical means of transportation. Ended up very pleased with all of the accessories standard with the car. It gets excellent mileage and if fairly comfortable for a small car. The ride id good unless you hit a rough road. Unfortunately the road i travel to work everyday is terrible. All in all it is a very nice small car.

fantastic car

I looked at a lot of different cars before I looked at the kona. this is one fantastic car. Very economical auto. Fun to drive and I;m a baby boomer. I don't regret at all my decision to purchase this car. The only feature that is lacking is a better seat adjustment system. l Otherwise i'm one happy woman.

Good Cross over

I love the look of the Kona. The body style is sharp. The headlights are cool. I love the blue I chose. The interior space is smaller than I thought. Its hard for tall people to fit. The engine winding sound is annoying . In sport mode the Kona has great pick up.All in all it's a nice cross-over just a few issues

BEST COMPACT SUV ON MARKET!

I purchased this vehicle 1 year ago and it has not disappointed! I love the sporty exterior and the ease of driving. It has a good turning radius and the size of the Kona makes it maneuverable and easy to park and get around tight areas. The interior is roomy and functional, with drop-down back seats for extra storage when needed. Love the "Sonic Silver" color and it has good gas mileage. Overall, very pleased and would purchase again!

Fun vehicle

Fun and sporty to drive. I bought this vehicle for myself but my wife loves it so we fight to drive it. She usually wins so I am looking for another vehicle for myself. It is really fun in Sport mode but then again, i don't get much chance to use it.

A blast.

I staked my Kona Ultimate out months before I drove it. It was even more fun than I thought it would be. It's rare that a car at this price has the options I was looking for. Of those I looked at, this Kona had every safety option & add-on I wanted. Nobody else did. Got the turbo. Got the lane keeper. Got the blind spot monitor. Got the sunroof, plus stuff I didn't know I wanted. And it's all gorgeous. Can you tell I love it??

Best Car Ever

This was my first New Car purchase. It was the best decision I ever made. I love this car. It's fun to drive and stylish. It gets great gas mileage and drives smooth. If you are looking for a great alternative to a standard size SUV this is the car for you.

2018 Kona

Nice looking exterior. Accelerates too quickly. Low on miles per gallon. Needs more cargo space. Comes with a tire donut which is a plus. Contrasting roof color is a plus.Is a good choice for a cross over suv.

Great car, terrible dealership experience

Purchase this car anywhere besides Empire Hyundai and you will love it! It is a quick car with great performance in the winter weather and a great experience to drive in good conditions too. It is tight on storage but for everyday use its just fine.

Love my car!

When it’s time, I will definitely buy another Hyundai! The folks at the dealership were super helpful and are always pleasant when I go in for my routine maintenance. I recommend the Kona to everyone I know that looking for a new car.

Hyundai Kona

I have owned 2 Santa Fe’s and right now I own a Tucson and Kona. I liked all my Hyundai’s but my Kona is the best. It’s large enough for a long trip and small enough to drive around town. It drives so easy yet it has excellent get up and go. If you are looking for a smaller SUV grab a Kona. I highly recommend this car!

Neat car

We purchased a small suv because we did not need a large anything any more, Impressive so far, our first long trip was uneventful, and rewarding for a vehicle of this size. Although slight road noise was evident, its understandable with todays roadways.

Great performance. I’m glad I decided to buy the new Kona vehicle. I’m having a good experience with it. If I change my car I would definitely buy another Hyundai. The performance of my car is excellent.

I’ve Found the Perfect Vehicle!

I love this vehicle! I’ve had it for just over a year. As soon as I saw that Hyundai announced it, I contacted the dealership to know more. It was challenging to find a Kona with the ultimate trim but I knew I wanted it and the dealership found it. This vehicle is perfect for weekends away, trips to the beach, stocking up on groceries, you name it. It still has the gas mileage of a small car but has the ability to get me through the VERY snowy months in Erie, PA. I feel safe with all of the added features and comfortable on long road trips. I’ve even had random strangers stop and ask me about it and compliment how stylish it looks! I wouldn’t recommend any other car over the Kona. I love it!

Love my Kona, but...

I love my Kona but I'm scared when I drive on the highway because it chokes if I accelerate to pass cars or trucks. Hopefully the next generation is better than this, because I really like. Thank you <3
