Great Upgrade from my 2013 Elantra.

Roomy and quiet. Great gas mileage. Average over 35 MPG in about equal city highway driving. Last interstate trip of almost 100 miles 42 MPG.

Frequent diagnostic issues

It has been less than 3 months that I've had this vehicle, and it had some issues with the power train twice. I went in for a service and they were not able to find anything, and it has happened again within 2-3 weeks of the previous one. I fail to understand how a new car can have such issues, and it is really frustrating, also inconvenient to be having to bring the car for servicing so frequently.

Pros and cons.

Love the upgraded interior, larger screen, roomier interior, somewhat larger size from the 2023 Kona. I’m struggling with the infotainment system but I think I will eventually get it figured out. Old people and technology butt heads often. My awesome sales rep has offered help with anything I’m struggling with. I’m a person who tries everything before asking for help. After all, my generation put man on the moon. All said, I’m loving my new Kona!! And the lease program is fantastic. As is Bentley Hyundai in Huntsville AL.

250,000 miles more before I know

At 6.9% interest for 7 years, warranties to 110,000 miles, $7000 down I'll end up paying $48,900 for this $25,000 car, mostly because of the phycological strategies and torture dealers know how to execute (and I even sold cars for 6 years, but not they way they do now). On a fixed income so it has to last the entire finance cycle and survive the 70 miles I have to drive everyday - so will have to wait and see... If I hadn't bought it at night and told them any color but silver I would have preferred black or white. It looked black when the dealer pulled it up, didn't see it was Denim Blue Pearl until I finally saw it in the light 2 days later. This color doesn't have the gloss that other colors do and looks like it needs to be waxed all the time, no matter what you do. All the driving safety features adds a ton of sensors to the car, but it has to be the exact same feature unit that almost every new car is now using. Some of it I like, but you can get messed up by the automatic front hazard braking: 3 times so far, I've hit the gas to get around someone and the car decided I should have been hitting the brakes not increasing my speed, there isn't a fast way for me to tell the car I going to turn the steering wheel to go around and "stay centered in your lane" feature just makes it hard to drive playing tug-a-war with the steering wheel. At least I know how to turn that one off. And if I had the money, I would have taken a leather seat package - the fabric seats they have are the most incredible dust magnets I've ever seen. I had even noticed it renting one from Avis for a month. I thought is was the craziest thing I have noticed but I haven't had anyone else say anything. I even asked a couple of Avis staff and then 3 others at the dealership what was up with Hyundai's fabric seats, have you ever noticed the attraction they have. It's like they are magnetized, have negative ion charge or a dust focused tractor beam - but none of them had noticed anything other than an old man asking crazy questions about the seats in fabric.
