Craptacular

My 2024 Hyundai Kona SEL Convenience Package was leased November 2023, has less than 4,000 miles and has now completely died twice. It is currently being towed away for the 2nd time in 4 months. There's zero explanation for the dead battery. The only thing worse than this car is the dealership service department that has me scheduled for an appointment in 2 MONTHS. Unacceptable doesn't begin to describe my experience.

I like the way the car handles. Good on gas mileage. It has already been in the shop for a recall for the computer update. Then my Blue Link did not work for 6 weeks till they finally got it working. It is actually going back in the shop today because the GPS does not work now. Not real happy with this car. What next?

Roomy, Great Gas Mileage

Love the gas mileage, 24+ around town - stop and go - and 33+ freeway. The seats are very small and set in. This means you have to get into the car first before you sit. This is a design flaw. If you have short arms, as a passenger you cannot reach the door to close it without much difficulty. The car feels like there is way too much hard plastic. The seats also feel plastic, steering wheel wrapped in plastic. For the price Hyundai could have built a more comfortable experience.

I have owned 4 Konos so very loyal to brand but this car has become a nightmare !! Recall after recall ( Parts on back order ) .. Sunroof assembly motor needs replaced already ! All injectors failed then reset. 4100 miles and keep going to shop!! We debating on trading and avoiding Hyundai from this point forward . HUGE mistake and Hyundai worthless customer service.

Great crossover the ride is more comfortable than I anticipated. The noise level in the cabin is excellent. The only thing I would say about the vehicle is the horsepower. But then again, I’m not racing the car love this car all the features.
