Small but reliable (unless its about the paint)

Car runs great, the sports option gives it the accelation needed was well worth the added money. Headlights work great, clear and far reaching but yet do not interfear with oncoming traffic. Foglights not great but better than not having them as there are many foggy days. Have has issues with the lane assist sensors, in that they stop working while driving at times. they come back on either after a few minute or when the car is restarted. Paint is an issue, have a few places wheere the paint has chipped off with not noticable impact damage. Has some scratches in the roof and hood as well and only after 5000 miles. Think the scratches came from an automatic carwash, but cannot be 100% sure. Seem like the clear coat on the pait is low quaility and will likely not last.

Kona review

In my opinion overall it’s a decent vehicle I purchased the SEL model in white. My complaints are the seats are manual adjust, all my SEL previous purchases were electric adjust. The seats are hard and rigid not comfortable at all for long distances and the cab noise on the highway is high which makes it difficult to hear your passengers when talking. The climate control is all analog which seems cheap in an SEL model. I would rather have less sensors and better accommodations up front.

Glad I picked a Kona!

It is hard to imagine that I could find a vehicle with more value for the money. It has performance , comfort and styling. It is a pleasure to drive and at the same time I feel very safe when I am driving it! It seems that my Kona is going to last me a lifetime but if not I can't imagine that would change to a different car!

Great overall experience

The Hyundai Kona Ultimate is by far the best vehicle I have driven to date. It is sporty, zippy, fun to drive, has a great sound system, and is really great on gas. Sometimes I forget it's only a mild hybrid. I generally average 34-36mpg on the highway going 70-75mph. It's advertised as only getting 32mpg on the highway (don't be so modest Hyundai!). I would recommend the vehicle to anyone who wishes to blend style and comfort with mobility and efficiency.

My 1st brand new vehicle

I have been very pleased with the purchase of this vehicle, everything from the purchasing process to driving it daily and on long trips. I love that I can lay my back seat down pack up for a week away, with room to spare for my furry dog to come along.

Hyundai kona

My Kona purchase was easy, dealership was great, price was right. My kona handles very nicely in all weather conditions, keeps me cool/warm when I need it and doesn't take forever to do so. Gas mileage is okay. Storage is also okay.

Great car

Nice and comfortable economy car with all the advanced gadgets for a reasonable price. It handles very well on the snow. Gas mileage and power could be better. I like the exterior and the interior. The dealership was very aggressive trying to sell me extended warranty even though I told them I was not interested at start. He insisted he needed to go through the process.

Love my car

My Kona replaced an Elantra which I liked a lot. I lost it in a flood so I wanted to replace it with a larger vehicle. I saw my Kona in the dealership lot and fell in love with it! It is exactly what I was looking for in a car.

Love driving this car

I leased this car and was very comfortable with monthly payments I find this car comfortable to drone and the handling is excellent. I have gotten lots of compliments on the design of the Kona and would recommend it

My favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned

I saw an add on tv and I was interested. Went to a dealership 45 miles away. They worked with for trade in allowance, features that I wanted and price as I was leasing. They worked very hard to get me into this vehicle. I love it.

Great Experience

I sought assistance after being duped out of a large sum of money. Someone recommended a private investigator and specialist. When I emailed him, he informed me that everything had been a hoax. He assembled my case, and we received a decision in a matter of days, and I received my complete refund! He was wonderful, professional, and efficient, and he walked me through the whole process. For saving my life, I owe him an enormous debt of gratitude! His e-mail address is as follows: (UNDERGROUNDRECOVERY at TECHIE DOT COM)

Nice car that is fun to drive but feels very safe and comfortable

I like the smaller size of this car making it feel welcome on narrow streets, parking garages and other areas that have limited space. It drivers very nicely! Handles well everywhere, has good "pick up" when needed and feels lively. It is also quite comfortable to ride in.

Zippy Car

I was not a fan of the Kona's look until I saw a white Kona with the night trim at the dealership while waiting for repairs on my Veloster. It was super cute and the sales department convinced me to test drive it. I traded in the Veloster with no regrets! I have the turbo charged engine and love how it handles.

Fun to Drive and great features

I’ve enjoyed my Kona very much. It’s fun to drive, very maneuverable, comfortable and has a nice sound system. However it would benefit from increased HP/turbo during acceleration and I think the steering could be a little tighter.

Great torque

The vehicle has amazing torque at high gears, and a whole lot of pep for such a small engine. The dual clutch transmission is very nice, and gear ratios are on point. However, as early power train issues are cropping up at only a year/20k miles in. Plus a mix of trivial complaints about cracking leather on the steering wheel, a buzzy bass in the ‘premium sound system’ when combined with serious electronics issues such as the collision detection going off and slamming on the breaks at 75mph due what I think is just glare off the road; I have been pretty disappointed and dissatisfied with purchasing both the specific vehicle, trim, and Hyundai in general.

I live my Kona

My first new car and it’s been a great purchase. Great value for the money and I love the way the car looks and feels. It’s AWD which is important in New England. I have been happy with the Kona, and plan on having this car for Years to come.

Cue car, good price, good safety and reliability ratings.

First car for my daughter, wanted something safe, reliable and stylish. It fits those requirements plus is not just another Toyota or Nissan so it’s a little easier to find in parking lots. A good experience so far.

Fun to Drive

Fun to drive, good styling and good gas mileage. Car exceeded my expectation so far. Styling is Unick and separates itself from others in its class. Not sure the major contributor to road noise. Tires car design?

It’s small, definable needs a bigger trunk

Within the first year of having my car I already had a major repair and I’m nervous something else will go wrong. I do not trust that the dealership will provide me with good care during the next issue
