I have owned only Toyotas for the last 30 years, and I was very impressed with our Kona. The technology is great, love the big screen for Apple car play. This is a second car, and it’s perfect for my husband and myself. The ride is quiet, comfortable, and smooth. We’ve only owned it for a few weeks, but so far, it was a great decision.

So many good things about this car, and I’m new to Hyundai, love the complete redesign, tech, comfort, size, back seat leg room is ridiculously spacious for this class or even encroaching on a mid size. Ventilated cooled seats, what? Now that’s unexpected!! Love the gear shift being up by the wheel and all the open space it created in the middle with the retractable cup holders, just brilliant!! Love the futuristic exterior very much. Yes, the gas mileage is not the absolute best but it’s a much smaller issue for me with other cars in the family being hybrids (Tucson & Santa Fe, love them as well) 10 year warranty and free maintenance for 3 years, now that’s a cherry on top!!

First Impressions Mean a Lot!

Just got home from the dealership and so far we are really impressed. We traded in a 2020 Nissan Rogue and don't feel too cheated by what is a smaller vehicle because it is so roomy inside. Love the handling and engine power compared to the Rogue. The tech features are so amazing and it's what attracted us to get it. Only drove a bit on the highway so far but everything is making us confident we bought the right car. I think the only drawback is going to be the mediocre mileage we are likely to pull. Great car so far. Can't wait to take it out for a long drive. After two more days driving it around and some highway time I can now say this car is fantastic. The Limited model has so much tech and near luxury features. I think the only thing it might be missing is rain sensing wipers. The shifting nob position and function will take a while to get used to but after decades of reaching down to change out of park etc it is understandable. The benefit of the location is the open space and storage between the seats.

Honestly Hyundai offers a lot for what you are paying for. I just hope that this car lasts a long time. I just hit 1,000 miles and so far no issues. I will update if something happens.

Bought my 2024 Hyundai Kona SEL 2.0L 4cyl AWD with the IVT transmission aka the 8 speed transmission. For the first roughly 10,000 miles the car ran and drove fine, no issues so far as i was concerned. around the 10,000 mile mark the car started to hesitate to accelerate mainly when accelerating off of a traffic light, would press on the pedal and the vehicle would begin to accelerate and then would shift to the next gear prematurely and refuse to build any rpm and would feel like it had a misfire / shutter and naturally i would push harder on the pedal and all of a sudden it would accelerate rapidly. this issue also happened on the highway where it would fail to down shift until a large amount of input was given on the pedal and the vehicle would again accelerate very rapidly. Brought it to the dealer 3 separate times complaining of the issue took multiple techs for a ride and even the service manager and got told so push harder on the pedal regardless of the effect on the gas mileage or drive it in sport mode or any this was the best "trade this one in and get the one with the 1.6T motor and you wont have the issues accelerating as it has a turbo"
