Hyundai knows how to build a proper hot-hatch, even if they don't call it that!
The Kona N is my 4th Hyundai (20th vehicle overall) and tied with my previous Veloster N as the most fun car I've owned. I've owned Hondas, Toyotas, Mustangs, Corvettes, BMWs, Abarths, Mazdaspeeds.. Hyundai has quickly shot up the ranks from the car you bought because you had no other choice, to the car you buy because nothing else comes close. In terms of design, performance, technology, value, efficiency; it's all there in spades. The other major manufacturers have become to reliant on resting on their previous reputations, and have thus failed to innovate and push boundaries the way Hyundai / Kia / Genesis have been. The Koreans have something to prove, and let me tell you, they're proving it.
