Solid ride, IFE sometimes problematic

Overall, I like my Kona; it drives well, but the IFE system is inconsistent in connecting to my phone via CarPlay and sometimes the screen just stays black until I restart the car. Handles well in inclement weather, which is quite a relief for a small vehicle.

My Kona has almost everything I need in a vehicle

I turned in my leased Kona SEL and I was disappointed that when I went to lease a new Kona that the SEL model was no longer available

The horn never works

The car is very nice but the horn never worked when I purchased the vehicle and then they replaced it and 2 months later it stopped working again. They replaced it again so we’ll see what happens . Also my thermostat went after 18 months .

2023 Hyundai Kona

So far I have a lot of love for this car. I will say that some of the safety features can be a little mislead with different road markings. Which can make it kind of annoying especially on longer drives. Overall I recommend this car and think it works great.

2023 Kona Review

Overall, my Kona has been reliable with very minimal issues. The safety features are nice and the car gets great gas mileage. The few complaints I have are with the breaks, backup camera and auto start. The breaks have squealed loudly since day 1 anytime the are exposed to the slightest amount of moisture. The backup camera has far too long of a delay when switching from reverse to drive. I often have to put the car in park, then drive to get the screen off of the backup camera so I can see google maps. Autostart occasionally acts weird - it will randomly stop working. When this happens the car holds a high rev and starts/breaks harder than normal even though the drive mode is still in normal or smart. I asked the dealership to look at issue and there was nothing they could identify. There is no consistency as to when it happens that I've noticed. Lastly, the front seat belts do not adjust low enough for a shorter person like myself.

Excellent on gas, smooth drive, plenty of room.

Excellent vehicle, spacious for a smaller suv. Trunk is spacious and seats fold down for extra room. Drives well, haven't experienced any issues.
