[@dr007md]

Am so glad you're reviewing the base model!! You read our minds!!! Sets you APART FROM THE REST!!! CHEERS!!!!

[@secordman]

About time somebody did.

[@Steve_in_NJ]

OMG! This guy is hilarious! Like watching a Seinfeld episode! One of the best Kona videos I've seen. I didn't know that Kona is built on Elantra platform (nobody else's video said that). Driving a 2013 and 2016 Elantra was nice, but thinking of moving up to Kona next as I used to drive an SUV for a long time before Elantra and some of them grew to be too big. That's why these Crossover SUV are so popular; they are the right size and loaded with the right features. For the record, I'm thinking Kona SEL with Technology Package.

[@philliprumans753]

Im getting the Elaine from seinfeld vibe with that dancing. Lol

[@peteryeung111]

About time! I've been waiting for my favourite car reviewer on YT. Thanks!

[@LiLi-ws7qz]

Your review really stands out, you made it fun to watch and like your heartlighted attitude, we don't need to make everything look serious for it to be serious.

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

Thanks. I appreciate your feedback..:) Steve

[@N2LADIES55]

Black is the only color I would buy this in because I don't like the clash of the other colors with the black cladding.

[@stevefranklin8052]

Good job. Nice and thorough, and with a few chuckles added to boot. Thx.

[@JohnCGUNSNFREEDOM]

Fun review, glad to see someone with a good sense of humor. Looks pretty interesting

[@damarisgarcia5216]

Well done! I appreciate the review.

[@silent079]

I bought a new KONA SEL two weeks ago and I love it. But after watching this dude dance I kinda wanna drive it off a cliff into a lime quarry.

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

My dancing's that bad huh?!?! I thought my singing was muchhhhhh worse... Hope you enjoy your new ride and don't happen to drive by any lime quarries in the near future..:) Steve

[@Czech801]

Me too. I bought my Kona SEL AWD last 6.1.2020.love it

[@albertosamaniego2476]

@@rosenthalstevek8869 Hello Steve, mice review! The backseat looks with a lot space, how tall are you? thanks for your help.

[@xxxdids]

Bloody great review brother

[@DimitrisBXL]

As always, an awesome review.

[@sonyorozco1057]

Love your fun positive attitude!!!

[@srk7555]

Thanks so much. I really appreciate it! Hope you check out our other videos and subscribe..:) Steve

[@TheBel43]

i got this new kona and i really love it.

[@drVicky83]

I kind of liked that. Was really bored out listening to tons of videos so that I could decide my vehicle. Your video did help me relax a while from a serious task of car selection. And that helped in my decision too... Keep your videos like this only Steve. That was indeed good.

[@srk7555]

Thanks! Will do..:) Steve

[@saukitchenuk7809]

Great review 👍

[@seanrobin6573]

“Absolutely Magnificent Review; Quite…. Informative and Entertaining

[@aria.studios]

Comes for car review, but waits till 2:00 for the actual review cause the weird guy was dancing.

[@srk7555]

Weird guy?!?!?!? Geeze...can't a guy just have a little fun once in a while?!??!? None-the-less, glad you came for the car review and hope you found the rest of the video useful..:) Steve (aka weird guy)

[@djkamayoentertainment]

Great review , thanks

[@swanblake]

Really like this vehicle, especially with the 1.6T and DCT transmission. It is the replacement for the Nissan Juke. Really enjoyed this review. Happy I found this channel.

[@stevefranklin8052]

Blake Swan nope, the juke can't be replaced by a Hyundai. It's being replaced by the Nissan kicks. This car is it's competitor, Hyundai, Kona. I think this will sell better than the kicks.

[@nathancouture598]

What a fun video I love your attitude God Bless

[@billbrandon5936]

who is steve?? is he a sales manager or an actor....he knows the specs like crazy

[@leiwang9623]

how many people dislike it becoz of the dance?

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

Not me... I think it was a beautifully executed work of art..:) Steve

[@joashlex]

is the dual clutch good or it just same with the normal clutch?

[@peterrobannsobrepena6029]

Hopefully my next suv

[@wisejatt]

Amalgamation of Jaguar front, Porsche rear, Audi Q3 interior, funky lights borrowed from Jeep compass, Hyundai emblem...boom Kona :)

[@secordman]

The small rear cargo is the one thing that might be a deal breaker. Otherwise there's a lot to like here, thanks for reviewing a lower end model. We need more like this!

[@srk7555]

You're welcome..:) Steve

[@novtag9724]

I love how this one reviews

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

Thanks! I hope you subscribe..:) Steve

[@novtag9724]

I only did not subscribe I also bought my Kona, thanks to you. I am so in love with my Kona. The chunky, funky and spunky really stuck. Keep up the good work.

[@bmwmsport11]

I think hyundai is the only manufacture today that uses an orange housing on the rear turn signals for USDM vehicles. Everybody does red or clear w/ orange bulbs. It makes the car feel so late 90s.

[@stevefranklin8052]

bmwmsport11 it's called a lens. So orange bulb is ok, but lens you don't like. Well, no one can please everybody.

[@SteelHex]

Of all subcompact SUVs, why do you choose to review the middle trim of the Kona? What separates this car from its peer is its 1.6L turbo engine, which provides acceleration comparable to a BMW X2. It outruns all but the sportiest and most expensive hatchbacks, while being an SUV with AWD.

[@Madedanielle]

I got a Kona SEL two montha ago and honestly I love it! Im not tall (5'1 lol) So the size is perfect for me. It has the right amount of technology and gadgets to feel like a premium car- it doesnt have the wireless charger but honestly my phone is too big for that. Also, dont need the turbo because i only do city driving (nyc traffic is basically bumber to bumber)

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

Congrats on your new ride! I hope you enjoy many years and thousands of miles of driving pleasure with it..:) Steve

[@erwinofficial8846]

Can u pls make a full review for 2019 Subaru ascent plus test drive.

[@srk7555]

I wish I could but our company doesn't have a Subaru dealership... But it looks like a great vehicle..:) Steve

[@adrianconstantinescu7392]

Best review!

[@nathancouture598]

Good Video

[@markanthonysg4138]

is this dark night?

[@henryhapin9898]

Great review. Can you please review the 2018 Lexus RX 450h F Sports.

[@johnbarone8948]

Is he Kiefer Sutherland? He looks just like him.

[@beyonder1918]

Nice funny review!

[@NathanCouture-pn3tn]

Love your attitude remind me of my Father you guys should hangout lol

[@chienpham3039]

Hyundai Kona in video is colour phantom black or dark knight?

[@KennyZoobs]

Looks like Phantom black. Dark knight is more of a dark grey

[@Paulmazuk]

There's a song "Mafikizolo - khona" 😂

[@mr.2cents.846]

Recently I test drove this car. The 1.6 turbo version and I liked it. Very fun ride.

[@RedMango55]

Why are the front lights kind of flashing at 6:44? Seems odd. It happens again at 9:27.

[@NathanCouture-pn3tn]

It’s when you record led lights they flash bc of the way the camera is focusing on them it’s lit the car I have the exact car and when I take videos it does the same thing

[@DeVron001]

Going to funk whenever I see one now

[@user-io7dx9ho7n]

멋지다 코나

[@tomcat6933]

Did you drink a margarita before this review

[@d7486]

His dance is the reason we aren't buying this car lol

[@ShawnVanden]

Us middle-age Caucasians have a greater "Dance Handicap" than my Golf "handicap" ...

[@d7486]

Hahaha but I am sure you are tons of fun :-)

[@erioann7219]

Dad jokes lolllll 😂

[@DLAN0]

[@jessieblaies1715]

You remind me of Michael Scott lol

[@quietguy1948]

Nice CUV... good review.

[@srk7555]

Thanks..:) Steve

[@peteros9555]

Saw the dance, commented and left

[@liljo911xxx]

the dancing lol...

[@DreadlockDrummer]

wait what? 2.0 naturally aspirated and a 1.6 turbo? shouldn't that go the other way around?

[@matthewaguirre3293]

my favourite reviewer part michael douglas part comedian!!

[@srk7555]

Thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate it..:) Steve

[@spedy069]

Like the Kona , hate the dancing and the singing

[@gohanrajkumar3033]

[@ilaphroaig]

Just skip the first minute.

[@fanen9686]

Cringe

[@srk7555]

Cringe back at ya..:) Steve

[@kermitthefrog3685]

I\d have to see the premium trim, because that just looks.... really cheap inside.

[@KennyZoobs]

Its a 20-30k car - what do you expect Kermit? LOL

[@ztekz]

I stopped the video as soon as he started dancing....geez

[@batiris]

drugs

[@ROMANXY-nu9rj]

SIEHT SUPER AUS

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

Bilder werden es nicht gerecht. Es sieht wirklich gut aus in Person .. :) Steve

[@ROMANXY-nu9rj]

DAS GLAUBE ICH

[@williamnolan6129]

Next.

[@exionem]

Not bad but all that inside plastic reminds me of the budget 90s cars I drove. A shame that 20 years later these newer vehicles have even more plastic.

[@BlackNess00]

First.

[@N2LADIES55]

Jay Floreal Yes,you are the first jerk!

[@BlackNess00]

N2LADIES55 KZbin would have been a better place without moron like you bastard. Gyèt manman’w

[@BlackNess00]

N2LADIES55 LOL nan tou koko manman’w. I ain’t gay dumb FCK.

[@jsaj2]

This is cringe asf

[@tomsoleymanbik3266]

What aGay review. I can give you something chunky to make you smell funky and you will like it!

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

Sadly I'll have to decline your pathetic offer. Your unfortunate sense of observation and lack of maturity betray you to the degree that you might want to seek some serious help. I wish you well though..:) Steve

[@nrcg2317]

Who's this funky clown??

[@srk7555]

My name is Steve Kerndt...you're happy go-lucky host..:) Steve

[@steverothmans5908]

tried it and hated it. the engine barely pulls the car forward.. its incredibly underpowered.. and it makes a lot of noise, you cant even hear it in the video, in reality it feels like driving a tractor... this car is unbearable and just irritating to drive and i really wanted to like it because its affordable and looks cool.. but its crap unfortunately.
