Fun, fast, fuel efficient - I just love it
I've only had this little SUV since November and I absolutely love it! I have the turbo model and it is so responsive to accelerating, handling and braking. Initially, I had to adjust to the "feel" at take off. Though the vehicle is automatic, it's initial take off response feels like I'm driving a manual. This is due to the dual-clutch transmission, which smooths out within a few seconds. I love the control panel layout - it is easy to view, understand, and is not cluttered or cumbersome to operate. The Bluetooth technology is fast, operates smoothly, responds appropriately, is smartly programmed, and has a long range. The fuel efficiency is not the highest in the market but better than most, and certainly better than my previous SUV. I drive 80 miles per day for my job, so, on average, I was spending $320 a month on fuel; my new average is $176 - NICE!
Lastly, I had to have some fun with my Kona. I took it on a road trip to south Texas. My little 1.6 turbo blew past a Camaro and kept up with a Ferrari - I won't admit my speed but it was short-lived fun ;-) And, a vain comment here, but I felt like a total bad*** cruising with my sunroof open and stereo booming out the tunes. Yes, I have my immature moments but life is too short not to have them once in awhile.
If Hyundai keeps up this quality or manages to improve this great little SUV, I will definitely buy another Kona.
