Fairfax Kona

I purchased the Kona after driving a Toyota Avalon for 15 years. I was surprised about the amount of interior space. The acceleration is decent, but doesn't compare to the capabilities of the 6 cylinder Avalon. The electronics have improved immensely since 2010. Within two months of owning the car, the alternator failed and a fuse "blew". It took nearly a week to get the part delivered and installed at the dealership. I am concerned that a week later, we received a blue link notification that the battery was low raising my concerns about the alternator again. We will see.

hated this car

Hated this car, not easy to get in or out of. Felt very unsafe in this car. The dealership bought this car back, paid off the loan but did not give me consideration for th$14,000. cash I put down. I now am leasing a Tucson. I did not want to lease but felt I had no choice because they would not compensate me for the cash I put down on the Kona. I also had to put down an additional deposit for the new vehicle.

She’s got all the bells & whistles

The Kona is a sleek looking SUV with every feature I could possibly want - still don’t know what half of them do. She has a smooth ride and the safety features - lane monitoring, multiple cameras are great.

We love the car

In general, it's been great. A few things, we've had a get used to. Android Auto, for one. Trying to get radio stations is very different. Also, we're not too keen on smart cruise control. All things considered, though, we love the car-- how it looks, how it feels, how it handles.

Not as great as I’d hoped or expected

I like many things about the car. But the technology is not very intuitive. In fact, I think it’s unnecessarily complicated. And some features that I had in my 2019 Kona are not available in this one which boggles the mind. Like automatic windshield wipers. Why in the world would you have a 2026 car with so many supposed bells and whistles and not have that? Also, my whole experience with my Hyundai dealership was much worse than when I bought my 2019. That was a whole reason why I was loyal. But I definitely wish I had shopped around a little more to be honest.

Great options

Was not in the market for a new car, Hyundai contacted me to purchase my Tucson, started working on research, wanted smaller car with hybrid engine, got all the bells and whistles I wanted. Very pleased with changes and upgrades made with the 2026 model. I’m also pleased with warranty.
