I'm Happy I bought This car

I had no car for 25 years and then decided it was time to buy one. I am not looking for fancy or status, just a good,m reliable vehicle and this gives me everything I need. So far, no problems, and I hope that remains so.

Stylish but enough storage

This vehicle is ok but not what I was expecting as far as storage since it's classified as a small SUV. There is very little leg room in the back. Driver side door panel s limited on space, no room for a drink. Not satisfied the the gas mileage/range.

2021 Kona

This is my first Hyundai and I am happy with it. The car is cute and gets good gas mileage. The car is reliable and has a good warranty. I wish It had GPS and the ability to start the car from the house.

Like my Kona that it is the right size for me

I like my Kona that it is the right size and it saves me gas. Kona is used for school and work only. I would recommend this small suv for anyone that just need a ride for work or school because it’s not too big or too small. It is the right size.

Hyundai Kona

Had to replace my old vehicle during the pandemic. My old vehicle was totaled and my insurance company gave me a Kona while getting the claim settled, so I essentially had a 3-week test drive for a Kona. Seems to be a great car, and I don't regret buying it (although sometimes, I wish I'd gotten a red one instead of white LOL).

One Year & We Love Our Kona Even More!!!

We got Our Brand New Kona last year and we absolutely Love Her. She drives Great through all kinds of weather: snow storms, heavy rains, dunes, etc. Our Kona has accompanied us on all our adventures. She celebrated her first 10,000 miles at Yellowstone, in the middle of nowhere, and brought us back home safe and sound. Kona AWD is really a Great Car and we Gladly Recommend Her!!!

Would not recommend too many problems even with low millage on a brand new car with only 22 miles on it from dealership I wish I never would have gotten rid of my Nissan juke for this sad excuse for a car

Engine failure

I helped my daughter purchase her first new car. Engine went out and left her stranded after 12k miles. We bought the new car for a reliable source to get her to college and work. It took a week to get her a rental. We are now waiting for the motor to be replaced under warranty. This was a big disappointment.

Handles poorly in adverse conditions..

Would rate at 5 fun to drive and zippy in good road conditions but handles terible in adverse conditions. This would be a great car if you never needed the all wheel drive. I was would test drive in snow if you live in an area where it snows.

Fun with a Turbo

I bought this 2021 Kona Limited based on the experiences of others who had bought earlier year models. The Limited comes heavily loaded with technology and a proven 1.6T engine that provides plenty of power. The handling is surprisingly good for a small CUV and visibility is very good. The seats are comfortable and the controls are all where you would expect them to be and easy to reach/operate from the drivers seat. Fuel economy meets or exceeds the EPA rating as long as you don't play too much with the turbo.

Poor response and quality

For the first few months, I didn't trust in this vehicle due to the engine poor response/acceleration. it takes several seconds in response The fan was broken in the first 14000 miles. Some parts in the trunk fall off and others were broken in the first 6 months.

Single driver

Nice,, reliable, comfortable vehicle which gives me more room.and a sense of safety. Only drawback is stiff steering. Looking forward to seeing how it performs on snow and mountains. I like road trips and the car is comfortable for driving long distances..however,.limited trunk room in back requires putting back seats down for more storage.

great to drive and easy to handle.

I like every aspect of the Kona--have had no trouble with it and have high confidence in Hyundai. The only exception is that there is no Navigation system. All the controls are easy to see and easy to manipulate.

Sporty and fun to drive!

I use my '21 Kona SEL as my daily driver. It is so fun to drive. It would have been real nice to have built-in navigation but it wasn't a deal breaker for me. Also i would have liked some different material for the seats but they are still good enough.

Unreliable tranny

I've had constant tranny grinding between gears since day one. The dealer refuses to do anything unless the problem is able to be recreated, which of course it never is. I have to use manual mode. I can't even drive friends around because the grinding and the inability of the company to address the issue is embarrassing. First and last Hyundai vehicle guaranteed.

A Vehicle Just Right For My Needs

Everyone has different needs in a vehicle. The Kona ticks off all my requirement needs. The right size, plenty of features and comfort. The finish and fit are as close to perfect as you can get. Handling and road feel along with economy to operate make it the perfect vehicle for me. Having many years of Hyundai experience made it easy to select knowing Hyundai would continue the quality in its newer vehicles.

I Love my Kona

I feel the security when I am driving my vehicle. Reliability. How it handles in bad weather. Gas mileage. Seats go down when I buy something large. Heated seats. Nice sound system. Overall I feel very safe while driving my car.

Kona 2021

So far I enjoy driving my Kona it has done everything I expected. The only draw back is that when I back up the morning the brakes make a groaning noise. I want you to know it handled so good in the snow which made me feel safe.
