OK but rides a little rough

SO the Prius had lengthened 8 inches which ruled it out for a re-purchase. Found this Kona only 164 inches which is great. Liked the style and performance. Mileage hovers in the high 20s to 30 mpg suburban driving. Rides a little rough but overall has been a good car. The 3 yr maintenance given only provides semi synthetic oil. In Florida we need full synthetic due to the heat, do I use an outside source for this.

Love it, love it and it looks good.

Buy one and experience it for yourself. The look and style has its own identity and looks amazing so much so you won't dare drive around with it dirty. Coupled with a smooth ride and sun roof, I call this Kona my Lexus.

I really like the Kona.

The Kona is a great vehicle , and the turbo is a great engine and fun to drive. I plan to stay with a Kona from now on. I really don’t like being mad to write a certain number of words, and I’m tempted to just delete the entire survey.

Superior in class and price

I am retired and owned over 20 cars in my lifetime ranging from VW Bug to Lexus and Porsche. The Kona is superior in class and price range. Easy driving, economical and fun to drive. Ratings are compared to Lexus.

Excellent

Peppy 1.6L Turbo engine. Nice exterior look except for the wide black trim around the rear wheel wells. Fun to drive. Good gas mileage. Easy to park and manuever in tight spaces. Convenient suv design.

A continued experience with your company

This is the third Hyundai I have driven and my experience with all of the models from the Santa F e to the Kona has been terrific. It is uncommon to find a company whose cars are comfortable, beautifully designed and perform just as expected.

Not holding your end of the warranty on a vehicle

The dealership not wanting to go any further than putting oil in it and telling me to drive it very poor service on your end for a brand new car I like the car very much but I was not about to driving on an expressway and break down in the engine blow up. I really disappointing that Hyundai not go any further.

2021 Kona Limited

As someone who recently invested in a Hyundai Kona, I can attest to its unexpected and satisfying nature. Not only was the vehicle a great value for the investment when compared to other options on the market, but its winter performance has been nothing short of impressive. The computer features and functions included far surpass what one might expect from a vehicle in this price range, rivaling those found in cars that cost two or even three times as much. Overall, the Hyundai Kona proves that sometimes the best purchases are the unexpected ones.

So far so good.

Everything so far good. I had been driving this car for 2 years no.major problem except rear doors sometimes hard to open and close. Had to lubricate the door stoppers and hinges to open and close doors easier.

Love my Kona

I love my Kona. It runs excellent and gets good gas mileage. Has all the features I need and enjoy. I've only had one problem, start button doesn't work most of the time, so I have to put the fob into the button to start the car, but it works than.

Love my Kona

I have been very happy with the Hyundai product line. I have bought 7 vehicles in the past 12 years and have recommended Hyundai’s to fiends and relatives and continue to enjoy the product line. You just need to install a compass in the vehicles s as standard feature.

Great compact SUV

Front space seating a bit tight for larger statures. Overall, great compact SUV. Fit and finish are excellent. May need to trade up to an SUV with a roomier interior. Dislike the rims provided as they are most difficult to clean. Experiencing suspension noises now from right rear well area. Thunking, clunking is disconcerting. We’re glad we decided to lease the 2021 Hyundai Kona and although there’s only about 5,000 miles on it, it’s a treat to drive. We’ve had numerous other cars (new & used) and the Kona is by far the best.

Great vehicle to drive. Comfortable, and economically sound. Only wish the engine noise in the cab was less, but overall, very happy. All the controls are easy to read and get to, and my wife loves to drive it.

Seats are junk tranny hunts for gears

Seats are hard flat transmission never finds the correct gear. Suspension is stiff and not very good fuel mileage. I traded this in right away on a new ford Maverick and am so glad I did. I would not recommend this car.

Great Little SUV

The Kona 2021 has absolutely been great. Superb gas mileage, easy to manuever, easy to clean, handles well.I do not feel that it's overpriced. I did choose to negotiate Michelin tires upon purchasing.
