A very comfortable, economic car.

Thid car is very comfortable, and looks great. Its ride is extremely smooth and quiet. The interior is well dezigned, with all of the current technology easily accessible. The 2.0 engine is not super peppy, but more than adequate for day to day driving. Great gas mileage, and the price is cheaper than other cars is its class! Overall, I really like this car.

Cute car!

I think the Kona is a sporty, economical sub compact SUV crossover that meets my needs. It is roomy and comfortable inside, but small on the outside so it is a dream to maneuver . It has plenty of zip for getting around town, but is also great on the expressways. I appreciate its multimedia capabilities, rear window shading, heated front seats, and privacy cover over the back window. Besides all this, it has cute styling, just what a baby boomer likes after having minivans and sedans for the past 30 years!

Still a baby at 4 days old.

Tomorrow is day 5 and I'm looking forward to getting up to go to work to drive it again! Love this car! Picked a perfect time to get this car with vacation around the corner, I'll have time to enjoy it! I think the only thing that would take this car over the top for me was if it was pink.

It's a great little SUV

I love it. All wheel drive when you need it. Back up screen. Blind spot alerts. And much more. It has an excellent turn ratio.

Kona is great

The car efficient, comfortable and has a number of convenience features that make long drives easy and comfortable. The car has great eye appeal and is stylish.

Unsuitable for short passengers.

I have had the Kona since new launch in March. It so far has been reliable. I love the orangish colour. With a 1 litre engine the performance is good. The driving position can be easily adjusted but becomes uncomfortable over longer journeys. The passenger seat is not adjustable for height. I'm only 5'2" and have had to buy an adult booster cushion for when my husband drives (otherwise I feel like a small child). The other annoying thing is the boot, almost every time I close it, get back in the car and the alarm goes for "open boot". It just does not close properly unless you really slam it! Thirdly, the inefficient Aircon. we have another Hyundai, the i10, and the Aircon in the smaller i10 is far superior.

First Time Hyundai owner

This car is reliable and just enough for a small suv with the tech plan I still received all my bells and whistles. I have been a loyal Acura/Honda owner in the past. This vehicle meets my needs.
