Servicing Vehicle

When I purchase this vehicle it included general servicing, i.e. oil change. At the time of purchase, I thought it was really a great feature. Well it’s not! Reason being that thousands of Hyundai owners have the same feature so getting a appoint for servicing is ridiculous.

I like the car it got good gas mileage, but once it started with the windshield wipers not working the headlights not coming on and the air Or the defroster not working, left me stranded several times sometimes at home sometimes out during the day but when it’s stranded me at 11 o’clock one night I was ready for to be over over it

I did not like the fact that when it started happening that they told me it was not an emergency that they could not get my car in for five weeks but yet I had no other car and it was not reliable enough for me to do anything or go anywhere I asked them for a courtesy car and they said they didn’t have any

Fun to drive

I enjoy my Kona and love that the back seat folds down for large loads. I have taken it out of state and got up to 35 mag! This is my se c old Hyundai and would highly recommend. It is a great vehicle for the money.

Great ride!

The Kona is one of the smoothest and quiet rides I have had the opportunity to enjoy. The only issue I have had is connect to the Bluelink. The sound system is very nice. Love the spatial sound. Wound recommend the ‘23 model.

Information to be passed on.

I replaced the car after an accident that totaled my other car. The new Elantra's have that funny bar by the passenger side that would not work for me. I chose the Kona instead. Overall I have enjoyed the car.

Unscrupulous Hyundai Service Dealer

Free Oil and Filter Change means that the Service Dealer goes looking for problems which they will "fix" and charge the customer. So if a car is poor quality there will be plenty to fix and that is the case with the KONA

Lacks power and MPG is overestimated

I am leasing a 2023 Hyundai Kona. I am in the 18th month of my lease so the "breaking in time" is well past. This vehicle lacks serious power and the cruise control is horrible. It often will drop below up to 7 MPH of what I have my cruise control set to (i.e. if I set it to 70 it will drop all the way down to 63) going up hill and even on flat roads sometimes. Also this vehicle was rated at 30 MPG (one of my main criteria for deciding to lease a small SUV), but I am averaging only 25 MPG and I would not consider myself an aggressive driver. I do like the Lane Follow assist that allows temporary hand free driving and blind spot monitor with Rear Cross Traffic alert, but the insufficient power, disappointing cruise control and low MPG have already made me decide I will not be purchasing my lease, and I would not recommend this car.

Smallest vehicle with high price and minimum features

I felt that I should have had a better deal on this vehicle. The amount of the purchase and payments is not worth it for the vehicle. It has no real features, the passenger room is uncomfortable. The car seems to take over driving sometimes and it feels unsafe.

So far So Good

23000 miles on vehicle and running great. So far no problems with the engine, suspension, transmission and so forth. You do hear a lot of road noise, but other than that, good car so far. No complaints as of yet.

Hyundai Kona

I was previously a Honda owner and did not purchase another Honda because of pricing in my retirement. The Hyundai Kona was recommended to me by a relative. I am very happy with my decision to lease a Hyundai and will probably purchase the vehicle when lease period ends

This is the worst car I ever owned

I've been the owner of most car brands including other HYUNDAI models, I think most of this opinon stems from the dealership. When I bought my 2016 Sonata there was a different owner. The new owners don't give a rap about good service etc. I had to wait almost three weeks to get a loner when I had my transmission replaced. A regular oil change is a 4 hour wait.

2023 Hyundai Kona SEL

I've had my 2023 Hyundai Kona SEL for a year now. Other than the annoying steering wheel jerk due to the safety feature system and the connectivity issues with Android Auto, it's a very reliable, easy, and cute vehicle to drive around in the city. I especially like taking it on longer drives because I can really enjoy the experience of driving and listening to music or podcasts through Spotify.

Great experience with my Hyundai Kona, thus far.

I would purchase another Hyundai. My daughter has been a satisfied Hyundai purchaser for over 20 years which is why I chose to purchase a Hyundai after having to replace my 22 year old Volvo. Product quality and durability are important,

Great car let down by a CVT

I would give it a 5 star rating if it had a real automatic transmission. Could be a great car. I've had mine checked out twice due to poor cruise control issues. I was told by two dealerships that there was nothing they could do. Both said it was due to the CVT not able to control engine output.
