I've only had it for almost a month so far I'm lov

Very comfortable, stylish, tech savvy, and roomy! It hasn't lived up to the 33hwy mileage yet. It seems to overall average 28/29. For the price you get more bells and whistles.

Smooth Ride

I think the technology in this car is far beyond any car I have owned thus far. It was pouring outside when i drove to work this morning and my car never hydroplaned or wavered in any way. All my other cars did that, so it's nice to know this car feels safer.

I absolutely love my new Kona

I have only had my Kona for 2 weeks, but so far there is nothing more that I could expect from a car. The ride is wonderful,comfortable with plenty of room. And it looks great!

The Hyundai cars are the best. Had a Tuscan for 13

Car is great. Never had a problem with the Tuscan had it for 13 yrs. Only had one recall and that was just recent for gas bands

Love the sporty look! Great Size!

This new little car is loaded with safety features and looks good too! My XXL husband fits comfortably in it. The electronics are easy to learn and the value is something I can feel real good about.

The best looking and most powerful crossover

My first SUV ever bought but handles just like a sedan. The style is beautiful and it has a very powerful engine with the 1.6T on the limited trim. The features and technology are great. My only critique is the sound quality of the speakers but everything else is wonderful. Definitely the best crossover out there!

Best overall compact SUV

This car is fun to drive, has good handling, a smidge loud at highway speeds, but if you're looking to get amazing safety features (the car can keep you in the lane by steering)...it just has a lot of very good all around high end features (e.g. driver drowsiness).

Awesome buy

I purchased this car do to the style and price with the knowledge that it is a SMALL suv i have two kids in car seats and that was my only real concern, the two engine options are 4cyl or 4cyl turbo, the turbo was very fun and had plenty of power where as the none turbo was really all that was needed to get the job done and got better fuel efficiency, i got the none turbo and i am very happy as i seaid i tested this car for two days so I understood that it is a small engine and small suv so power is not as good as you may want but it?s plenty. As far as room it is exactly what i need it fits myself the wife and two kids but no more and the trunk / hatch is very limited on space however for a normal person that does not hord items in my car it works perfectly. I have already had this car on a off highway dirt road that it really shouldnt have been on and it did just fine i am averaging 33mpg combined highway and city in Colorado. Over all i love my purchase and the warranty is unbeatable
