I had a Sonata the ride was great smooth. The Kona ride is a different feel not as smooth. I was surprise but it is a suv so I should have realize the ride would be different. But I love the car great to park if you live in Brooklyn. I love the look of the Kona Stylish and cute so comfortable. Enjoying my car.

If you are a single person, or married with no children. This vehicle is GREAT! This is a compact SUV with little leg room in the back, but a huge rear compartment when the seats are folded down. I have owned a total of 15 Hyundai's and this by far is the best model I have owned for the cost. I got just the base model with AWD which came more than enough features, WHICH WERE ALL STANDARD ! I didn't need, or want, any of the optional bells and whistles. I got everything I needed for a very economical price. My wife and I were so impressed, that a week after buying the first Kona, we went back and bought a second one !!!

Loved everything about the car except when accelerating on the highway was a little on the doggy side in economy mode, when in sport mode was definitely better

Update 2021: still loving my Kona. Drives well. Perfect for city full time but also vacations in the mountains. My only suggestion is to add the hands free opening for the back hatch. I chose to buy the Kona after a lot of research. I went for the Limited AWD after comparing to a few cars in the class and it had so many features you can’t get on other cars for the price. After about 2 months, I am so happy with my purchase! It has the feel of luxury but also sporty. The sport mode is so fun! I can’t wait to put it to the test this winter in the North East.
