2023 Hyundai Kona

I love driving to Hyundai Kona it's definitely feels like a reliable vehicle. I like to blend of grays and black in the interior and the exterior is also very pleasing. I would say the only downside to this car is the lack of trunk space and within my first 50,000 miles I did have to replace the battery.

Value for money first car

Kona wasn't my first choice but still is a very good decision. It's small but affordable; has high value for money as it has safety features you would find in higher tier SUVs. Power is a bit lacking and being FWD isn't as reassuring driving in Winter as an AWD (an AWD option is available, I think). Being a small crossover SUV, it lacks in capacity. However, it has never let me down, so reliability is good. It gets me where I want to go and has very good mileage per tank full of gas. If there was another model in stock when I came in to choose a car, I would've chosen an AWD one with heated seats and steering wheel, and possibly a remote start. That said though, as a first car, you can't go wrong with the Kona.

Kona Fan

I am extremely pleased with my Kona. It’s a great second vehicle which I believe is limited to two adult passengers.

Tiny and Mighty Just like me!

When the Kona first came out in 2018, I said to myself, that’s my car! It took me a few years but in 2023 I finally got my dream car. Hyundai and I have a very long history. The first brand new car my mom bought was the Hyundai Excel back in 1987. I was driving my mom to her friend’s house when all of a sudden I told her, “Ma hold on!” I saw through the rearview mirror that a car was coming at high speed. The car continued to plow the cars behind us which made us plow into a Cadillac in front of us. The Cadillac flipped over while my mom‘s Hyundai Excel stayed intact with just a dents and dings! After that accident, I said to myself, I will always buy a Hyundai!! That car saved mine and my mom’s life! My Kona is FUN to drive! I enjoy using the sport mode when necessary. It handles wonderful during the winter months here in New York. It is great on gas and I love all the bells and whistles that came with my Kona N Line. I’m glad that the new Kona is bigger which is good since my husband is 6 feet tall so I’m thinking of trading mine in.

I bought a Kona in 2020 after reviewing them online. I traded in 2023 for a new Kona. The size is perfect, not too big or small, great gas mileage, handles well and the features are all user friendly.
