TBD

So I really love my Kona, however there are some glitches. First the trunk had issue within first week, it was a simple repair but not happy with issue so soon. Now airbag light comes on intermittently. I took to dealership and because intermittent dealership unable to duplicate. I now have about 8 videos of light going on and have appointment soon, but in my mind I am reminded of the airbag incident in the sonatas some time back. I hope this can be resolved. Leg room in back seat is less than what I had in my accent.

Kona

To small for my family I don’t have anything to say that’s going to create 200 characters. I Like the moon roof and the seat warmers the cars so it’s really too small for my family can’t even get a car seat in the backseat without it being cramped not really a card for people who have children

Kona

At first, what is obvious about the Kona is the look, and the right balance of size, power and handling for city environment. Once inside, the Kona standard features become the standout elements over the competing brands. Hyundai 5/10 year warranty reassures confidence on the quality of the product. The down side of the Kona is its position on price range. Kona top two models climb into the range of the Tucson, which puts the buyer in a quandary.

Love this car

I was looking at getting a Hyundai Veloster just needed to wait until I turned 25 I went when I was 23 and they showed me the veloster and I knew I wanted it. Then I was at the Atlanta car show and they had a new Kona and I instantly changed my mind went to the dealership and Ashley the sales lady I talked to 2 YEARS ago remembered me by name and knew the car I wanted I told Her I changed my mind and she brought me 2 Kona to drive and I fell in love bought it on the spot.

Love my new Lime Twist colored Hyundai Kona Ultimate

I didn't really need a new car--my previous Kia Sportage wasn't even a full year old yet, but the Kona really won me over. I liked that it was smaller than the Sportage though still big enough for my needs. The Kona gets better gas mileage (about 30 mpg average for me.) has great safety features and has cooler toys. I have the ultimate model and there are lots of cool gadgets like wireless phone charging, Apple CarPlay and the HUD. (I love the HUD.) The 1.6T turbo engine is great and gets me up to speed quickly and confidently. And finally, the color, Lime Twist with the black/Lime Twist accent interior is amazing. I get lots of comments on it. Overall, very happy!

Fun Little Crossover

The wife fell in love with the looks of it from a commercial. She did her research and decided she wanted the Ultimate Model. An excellent crossover between a small SUV and a Sports Car.. It's the SUV thats Fun to Drive.. It's Sporty when you want it to be as well as gets the mileage when you want it.

My Kona

I love my Kona! It is so fun to drive. It looks so stylish and saved me money on my insurance premiums with the safety features on my new car. I was also impressed with the dealership that sold me my new car. I will definitely buy Hyundai from now on.

Comparing my car to other cross overs I see while driving, my Kona is super sharp, super cute. Really happy with the factory tint. Haven't figured out how to get my regular radio on yet. Leather nice.

Amazing cars

The new 2018 Hyundai Kona is amazing. The exterior shows a great SUV shape, but on the smaller side. It has great features and it is a nice, easy and fun car to drive. It is a perfect first car. I am so far loving the Hyundai brand with their warranty, cars, service and dealerships.

KONA REVIEW

I HAVE BEEN A HONDA OWNER FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS, DECIDED TIME FOR A CHANGE, NOT BECAUSE HONDA WAS EVER A PROBLEM, WANTED SOMETHING DIFFERENT. SAW THE KONA AND FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. TOOK A TEST DRIVE AND WAS SOLD. IT IS BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED, IN AND OUT, SHARP LOOKING, BEAUTIFUL HANDLING AND PRETTY QUICK FOR A 1.6 LITERE TURBO. I AM A BIG GUY 6'3 AND NEED ROOM...THIS BEAUTY HAD IT. I FIT COMFORTABLY, LOVE DRIVING IT, AND WILL HAVE THIS CAR A LONG TIME. YOU WONT BE SORRY BUYING OR LEASING ONE. 1991

Love my new Kona

This car has a lot of great features. Pretty much has everything you could possibly want. The only thing it doesn't have that would be nice is cooled seats. And my only complaint is the storage space. That being said, it is a small car so you obviously can't expect a huge truck space. I have always driven a 6 cylinder so the 1.6 turbo engine was a must for me. It has plenty of get up and go and the gas mileage is great as well. I average between 27-30 miles per gallon on an everyday basis.

I love this car and the look design and drive! It is a good price, its well built the car should last me years! I can't wait to see where it takes me.

I love the lifetime warranty my dealership offered, I love the features that came with it, and the over all ride of the car. It makes me feel safer already. It eco friendly and has already saved me close to 100 dollars on gas!

Excited about my Kona

I did a lot of shopping, driving and online research before I bought my Kona. It all came down to price, options and power. The Kona gave all of these along with style and amazing quality in a car that matches most luxury cars.

Kona Sel Awd 2018

It is a stylish and comfortable car to drive. The ride is good for the size, but the noise is more than I would like, even with the windows closed. Acceleration is slow but acceptable.I would like to see better fuel mileage, but I didn't expect much better than I get (26mpg) city. The layout of the dash is very good. I only wish it had a CD player in it, as a lot of others do. A remote starter would be very helpful, with the absence of blue link in this model. Not happy about this.

Excellent Vehicle!

The Kona is perfect for me in every way! I love the sleek styling, especially in the Pulse Red/black roof color scheme I chose. The ride is smooth and the 2.0L has good power. Every trip has exceeded the stated gas mileage ratings, often by an amazing margin...I love my 2018 Kona SEL!

2018 Kona Review -- Just my size!

I was at dealership getting my 2017 Tucson serviced and spotted the Kona in the showroom. I had seen it before when I bought my Tucson in and decided to take it for a spin! It's so sporty looking and I love all the extra trim options. I immediately liked the way the seats are made. The Tucson seat never fit my size and actually cause me to have problems with my knees. The Kona's seats don;t have that extra "hump" at the front that hits in a weird spot

Kona

Overall great little SUV, very stylish handles well maybe a little overpriced for the size and storage , my previous car was the Elantra which was about 5 thousand cheaper and rode and handled as good but I had way more storage space and fog lights stayed on while driving in all conditions seat belt height adjustment was good in Elantra
