It's my favorite car I've owned; loaded, reasonably price.
I drove a 2017 Chevy Trax for 3 years, having had it 1/2 way paid off. About a month before during a slick winter morning commute my car slid out of control and I was almost t-boned. While it scared me, I quickly let it go, but kept what could of been my end in the back of my mind. Went to the Indy Auto show after Xmas 2019 and saw the Kona. I've read about it before and I liked how it looked, so I checked it out, sat in it, got a feel for it. My big regret was not getting AWD for the trax, so decided to pop into Ray Skillman Hyundai in Avon to check the car out. Now the last time I bought a car I settled, so I told my salesperson that I wanted a car fairly loaded (great auto system, heated seats....spoiled by my wife's car lol) but most importantly AWD. They had a white one that looked really nice so I took it for a test drive.
Decent acceleration, as I mentioned, fairly loaded (high end sound system, other perks I mentioned) and the aforementioned must-have AWD. They let me take the car home overnight to get a better feel for it, and after taking my wife for a drive, I fell in love with the darn thing.
Seats are fairly comfortable, the tech is pretty awesome; wouldn't recommend this crossover vehicle for folks with really long legs, and if your kids are much older than 5-7 the rear seat doesn't provide much room. However for either a couple or a single person this car will leave a smile on your face once you test drive it.
I can't necessarily vouch YET (of course once I buy the car there is nary a snow or icy day for the rest of last winter) but in general this is the first car I have not had to alter to get what I wanted. I drive the SEL which is a great combination of price and options for what you get. Highly recommended.
