New to SUV

I have driven the Tucson and the Santa Fe for work and was curious about how this SUV would compare. LOVE IT! So Much I leased it!

Great transition from Sportscar

Loving the 2018 Kona. Lots of cargo space and comfortable passenger area. Smooth ride with plenty of power. Interior is suave with the latest technology. Excellent sound system. Exterior is sporty and sleek. Looking forward to many adventures driving this new Kona. Purchased the Limited Edition but now wish I had gone for the Ultimate for a few more bells and whistles. Would like to have retractable steering wheel and wireless connections.

The nicest car I have ever owned

I've only had my new Hyundai Kona for a couple weeks, but I love it so far. It is quiet and has a smooth and comfortable ride.

Nice Little CUV

I bought a SEL with the technology package 9 days ago. I chose this vehicle for the price and brand. I was unsure about all the safety technology, but I am so happy with it. I also wanted fuel economy and a reasonable up front price, and was able to get 1.9% financing. I considered other larger SUV, but I enjoy driving and like something more car-like with out much body roll cornering. I've put 600 miles on it of mixed driving on I5, up and down Seattle hills, winding country roads, construction zones, etc. No complaints. Hauled a lot of stuff in it, too. So glad it has a normal 6 speed transmission instead of the abismal CVT. Plenty of acceleration on this engine, merging on and off freeways is no problem. Steering has tight, electronic feel but is fun on corners. MPG is over 33 in mixed driving. Hard to find Konas in our area, kind of lucked out. I currently own 2 Kias, and they have been excellent vehicles even after many miles. These warranties can't be beat. Test drive one (if you can find one!)

So much better then a Nissan Juke

I used to love my Juke before I encounters problems with the Nissan dealership in Kamloops. The Kona has exceed my expectations with how quiet it is on the road, very smooth, turns on a dime, accelerates nicely not quick or slow unless you wanted it too, and the trunk is much bigger then the Juke even though they are same type of suv.

Good value and style for the money

So far so good. It's small enough to be economical, yet big enough to allow my wife and college age kids to travel with room to spare.
