BEST CREDIT SPECIALIST

My husband and I went to buy a house this year (for the first time). We started making changes in our credit history late last year but to no avail. Current score was 616 (me) and 605 (him). We tried getting it higher on our own way but it didn't work out. No negative other than 3 missed school loan payments from me (2017), I did not know they went into repayment. We have about 9k (51% usage) in credit card debt. We have a car loan (18k total). I have 50k in student loans. I implore you to get in touch with PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM OR +1 (872) 265 2951. He promised to fix my report within 6 days. He got my score up to 804 (me) 811 (him) and also all the negative items and credit card debt has been gone. Now we’re eligible to buy a house. His fee is very affordable and he always keeps to his word and time frame.

Lack of power

Lack of power. Too much road noise. Seats on long drive uncomfortable. Dash not impressive. Gas mileage underrated car felt cheaply built. Lack of exterior styling. Doors sound cheaply made like a can

Great car

Vehicle is great but don't get service at werner hyundai. Oil change shouldn't take 2 hours with an appointment while waiting at dealership. Ding and rim repair is outsourced and may not get done in a reasonable time. Service department says they shouldn't have to handle the repair work. Sales should handle it.

2021 Hyundai Kona Select

The 2021 Hyundai Kona Select AWD is the automobile for me. With the husband, 3 dogs and myself it's the perfect for short runs or long trips. There is more than enough room for all of us. Plus it gets excellent gas mileage.

Excellent service and a great subcompact vehicle

Great friendly service and fast. I love my Kona it is very economical on fuel. The back seats can move down for more room when packing for camping, etc. It has style and its quiet and comfortable to drive. It was very cost effective choice for me.

Had issues with transmission

From driving the Kona out of dealership the faulty transmission was a problem. Parts were replaced two times and there still was an issue. The third time the auto would not engage in any gear and was towed back to the dealer. Auto is extremely noisy when driving. You can hardly hear the radio. Indicated to dealer on first service that auto hesitates on first acceleration but told it takes a while to breakin. Gave up since I have been driving for 62 years and felt they were lying to me.

Pretty car but bad publicity and mediocre service after the sale

This is a pretty car. It is responsive, gets good mileage (35 plus) and it is smooth when changing lanes/ parking. At 36000 miles, there have been no major repairs. However, it's the same year as the models that are getting stolen, and my insurance went up 30 percent because of that. Problems scheduling services under warranty, exaggeration at the time of the sale about the "scratch/ding removal" policy, and being quoted an outrageous amount for a simple bulb replacement means that Hyundai is not on my list for when I trade in this car.

Peppy and reliable

This car is reliable and really goes when you need it to. The seats and interior are comfortable and good looking. The sound system is just right for my needs (and I am a music lover) It feels like luxury at a budget price. The cargo space is a little small but I did not notice that at purchase.

For me this vehicle is perfect. Not a lot of bells & whistles so I won't get distracted

I use my vehicle for art shows & I have no problem getting everything in with the seats down. I use every inch of space. I like a vehicle that is reliable & this works for me. I find the service department always takes care of my needs

Great EV

The Kona is a wonderful EV. Great acceleration. High quality. Three years in with little maintenance and no repairs. Much better value than other we considered such as Tesla. Would make the same purchase again.

Sick ride

2021 model is soooooo Nice looking. I have the 2.0, and it feels decently quick, and I LOOOOOVE the dct transmission, coupled with the shifttronic. Headlights are bright and easy to change. Car is very quiet on average, and only makes noise when glong above 2000 rpms. Even then it's relatively quiet.

A worthy investment

My 2021 Kona provides incredible value for the quality & technology of the vehicle. Serves as a 2nd car in our household but provides convenience for everyday errands & light travel. In fact, this car gets more use than our primary vehicle (Lexus RX 350). Very happy that we purchased our Kona.

Better Than I Expected For the Price

I tried out many makes and models of cars, old, new, large and small before I bought my brand new Kona. The first thing I noticed was how quiet and nicely finished the car is. On the test drive it held the curves and felt wonderfully solid. I was surprised at the engine response and the smoothness of the handling. After having it for several months I began to appreciate the high mileage. And when I had to move a lot of items from the storage unit, I was amazed at how much I could get into what seemed to be a small car! I've been driving the car for two years and it has never let me down. Best of all, it was the least expensive car I test drove, even compared to the used cars. I LOVE my Kona!

Kona Is for Short People

I Love my Kona, that's it. I'm 5'2, it's the perfect all SUV for me. Great gas mileage, plenty of room, even when traveling. I would purchase another if I had too, but had to be identical to mine now.

AWESOME JOB

I worked my ass off to get my credit score up to 800. Then some people stole my identity and all my money. It ruined my life. I’m a single girl and I wanted to buy a house one day. I have to confide with my elder in church who then recommended PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST, showing proofs of some other person in the church that PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST has helped fix their credit. I didn’t hesitate to contact PINNACLE and I’m glad I did because they returned my credit score to 809 across the credit bureaus, wiped out all negative items and also removed the FEDLOAN student loan that shows in my four different accounts. They also assisted my parents to fix their credit report. Quickly use their email: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM / +1 (323) 406 1225.

Economical with a feel of sporty

I bought just as transportation to work but wound up enjoying it. The rating on build quality doesn’t reflect overall vehicle, but the rear windows noise is very disappointing. It’s the first thing discussed when someone asks about the car.

Good handling

Handles well. Ride can be a bit rough on a bumpy road. Controls are intuitive. Cargo area is generous for its class. Could use a bit more acceleration (turbo version provides that). Lumbar support is adjustable and adequate, but not stellar.

Transmission issues. Dangerous driving.

Car is a great car comfortwise. Haning and steering wonderful. The car hesitates and jerks and from stopped position and at slow roll. Does not respond when gas pedal is pressed half the time. Dangerous!! Very scary to drive when car hesitates and doesn’t respond. Third hyundai and last. Dealer says it’s an issue with this model kona due to dual clutch transmission and turbo. Will not fix it.

Cute little Kona

I like the Kona because of its cute size. Only gave a 4 star because it has less trunk/hatch space than I would like. Way less than the Elantra trunk. It’s comfortable and fun to drive. Pull down drink holder in the back seat is a plus.
