Good: Gets good milage. Looks nice, mine is lovely bright blue. Has great safety features. Good acceleration. Easy to use controls. Good price. Bad: Driver seat is uncomfortable. Ride seems bumpy. Has good pickup but somehow it is a chore to drive, Maybe I need to turn lane keeper off, seems to make driving more difficult. I feel like I am always making micro adjustment to keep it in the middle of the lane on highways. Small back window. Just not fun even though it has good acceleration. Don`t like the built in GPS either. First time we used the gps it was not accurate and we ended up a few miles from our destination. I use my stand alone Garmin gps instead. Finally we need a software update because you can easily start/steal these cars without a key using the USB port.

DISSAPPOINTING CAR

This car is one of the worst cars I have ever bought! The doors will not shut properly, it is very noisy, because the moldings are too thin and don't provide proper insulation. Water leaks and when you drive on the expressway, it is very noisy. Too expensive for the chear quality it offers. Very disappointing!!!!

This is the second Kona I've leased over the last few years due to the dealership insisting it's technically the smallest "car" that Hyundai makes. This year I stepped down from the SEL Plus to the SEL because I didn't really need the extras that came with it. I wish I had reconsidered, because the SEL model only has wireless CarPlay, which is a much more significantly degraded experience than I would have expected. I was genuinely at a loss to understand why the model with a wireless charger has only wired CarPlay - and the model without it has only wireless CarPlay. It makes a little more sense now why the higher end packages don't go wireless, considering how bad it is, but it still feels like a bizarre choice. Neither car has ever even pretended to approach the estimated City or Highway mileage listed on the sticker. I am consistently 4-5 MPG under those estimates no matter how or where I drive. I took it on a recent road trip and it's been a while since I've seen a car struggle that hard to drive up a mountain. I guess it answers the question of whether it would be safe to try and pull a tiny UHaul trailer cross-country for a move when it can barely handle a single adult and suitcase. I'm also not entirely clear on why Hyundai insists that the car needs to scream at you the way the Konas do. This model might be a little less aggressive than the last one when it comes to how loud the beeps and warnings are, but it doesn't feel like much. I also don't understand why a car with the ability to remotely unlock the doors via my phone is so aggressive about not locking when it thinks the keys are still inside. At least twice now I've missed that the car immediately unlocked itself because I hit the button "too soon" while exiting the vehicle and it sat unlocked on the street all night. It's not the worst car I've ever driven, but I'm definitely regretting that I didn't go ahead and let the lease expire instead of signing onto a new one this time around.

I love everything about this vehicle! The drive is very smooth, the extras are great like the blind spot detection, and the app to control unlocking and locking the door. It has a sleek appearance and I love the cyber silver color! 10/10!

Bought the 2023 SEL kona 2.0 liter for my companies errand vehicle. I've adopted the little car because it's fun to drive, handles and merges in traffic Effortlessly. Getting 380 miles out of 11.3 gallons of gas. Comfortable with many helpful safety features. Don't care for the auto/start mode or or lane keeping modes. Can be disabled.
