Little did I know you can’t drive this vehicle in bumper to bumper traffic. The double clutch transmission heats up. The manufacturers solution? Find a safe place to pull over until it cools down. Try that in the mountains of British Columbia. Another suggestion was to wait in traffic with the break on until there are is several vehicle space in front of you, then creep forward. Try that on a four lane highway. As soon as space comes open the cars beside you fill the gap. If you have a trucker behind you, getting paid by the mile, your going to get your facial features adjusted real quick. This car is for town driving only.

So far, it's just what I expected. I checked a lot of reviews, for this category of cars, Edmunds, Car and Driver, Kelley Blue Book. I personally went and saw three cars I had selected. A Kia Seltos, a Subaru Crosstrek, and the Kona. In my opinion. The Crosstrek is a "Glorified" Station Wagon, the Kia Seltos seemed cheap (front seats were hard and uncomfortable) the Kona, seemed just right. We got the Kona Limited because we wanted all wheel drive, and the turbo engine. Owning a classic 1997 Honda Prelude SH, and a 2004 Mazda RX8, we are used to "instant acceleration" and response. I know that's a big challenge to live up to, especially for a small SUV, The Kona did not disappoint.

Bought a 2023 Kona SEL this summer, and very happy with my choice. Looked for a small SUV for more seating, more cargo capability, and better visibility: my now “summer” vehicle remains a 2013 Audi TT convertible. Have been pleasantly surprised by the comfort and performance of the Kona. I’m 6-foot-2, and don’t fit in some cars, but very comfortable driving the Kona. Car has enough pep in the engine and drive train to make driving fun (obviously, not even near the Audi) but who needs to make everything a drag race? But now I can consider more than one passenger, and actually carrying bulky items home from store. The Kona comes standard with so many options (e.g., driver safety features) it’s nice not feeling nickel-and -dimed by the dealer for options. The styling (mine is the red, with black rook and accents) was more interesting than the rather boring styling of the American car makers. Great gas mileage (30 city, 33+ highway). Add in Hyundai free maintenance and exceptional warranty, great value in a small SUV.

Quick & Quite & GOOD GAS Milage

Had a 2019 Kona and loved the Kona but 2 yers after buying it got a recall notice on the engine, took it in and they did some things to the engines CPU and said its good to go, but the engines oil was getting dark quick so was changing oil at 1/2 the miles for required oil change, that helped the gas milage some. I traded it for a 2023 Kona N line and I like it a lot, because its quite and get better gas milage, has a better ride, handles the same is ease to get in and out of, has GPS in the car that I do not need to use my I phone to get it from. am a big guy 6'4" 290+ and have room to spare for this senior, don't have many miles on it so far, and the upgraded engine runs good so far......WNB
