Neat car, many issues already

The 2018 Kona is a zippy fun car to drive around. Good gas mileage, better acceleration than reported. Handles great and fun to drive. Big info screen is great and interactive. Issues are these. 1. Headliner keeps dropping down and rattling. Brought to the dealership, they did not have an answer after a week of having the car. Still no solution 2 weeks later. 2. Back hatch does not properly close unless slammed. 3. Apple car play is hit and miss on connecting to the same phone. 4. Sun visors flip up so hard they cause the sunglasses holder to pop open time and time again. 5. When windows are opened in back and front not the whole car shakes, big airflow issue. 6. Storage is tight, very limited with cargo space, should not be considered an SUV. 7. Radio volume is quite lower than expected, dealership did not install antenna when first purchased. 8. The base options on the Kona are much lower overall quality the the 2017 Tuscon we also own. Overall a good little car, sub compact class. 3rd Hyundai we have owned, just the fact that it is a new car design and class, seems to have quite a few bugs that must be remedied in order for this to be a successful new car launch.

Has a lock-in AWD and a "Sport" driving mode. A Nice rear view camera and side and rear collision monitors.

I am experiencing incredible vibration when going on certain roads and a speed of no more that 45 and no less than 30. It disappears at high speeds and does not happen on all roads.

For commute ,I need AWD SUV which has good mileage and Kona is the right one. silent but has a power, very comfortable seat as well as optional package , tech package is really I like so far around 4months. Also safety test, Kona was selected best safest car in group of small SUV. fancy, cozy and also safe. what else?? you will not regret it. try it.

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.
