I bought this car (in white) June this year. I've been driving Hyundai Elantra's for many years. SUVs are new to me. So far, I'm having fun with it, especially all the safety beeps and rumbles it has to keep me alert ha!

I purchased new in December 2022. Blue in color. I never owned a Hyundai before. I drove Volkswagen Atlas. I truly appreciate this car / SUV.

I love my Hyundai Kona. I will not get any other car. I like the way it drives. I liked the way it handles. I like the all-wheel drive. And when you're living in an area that has black ice. Sometimes, you need the winter mode or AWD. It may not have a ton of room, but if I'm taken my great nieces and nephews. Or you know, just anybody for a ride, the backseat has enough room for them. It's beneficial for a subcompact car like this to have all the featuresthat you need. Especially in winter conditions. I give it a 4 and a 1/2 star rating at a 5.

I just saw this in the parking lot this afternoon and absolutely fell in love with the looks. It's the most beautiful small package SUV on the market now. I like small SUVs. The 2018 Honda HRV design, shape and size was so proportionately gorgeous. If I do not need to carry equipment frequently, I would have bought it right away. But I need extra space. But now this Kono looked just right.

My wife bought one in October. We have converted all of the lights to (Lasfit brand) LED bulbs minus brake lights. The other thing is the AWD requires four same size tires to prevent damage. The spare is 2.5 inches undersize so I replaced the tire with a larger one to match 145/90/16 in case we get a flat. Still fits in the spare tire area so I wonder why they don’t come with the right size. We love the car. It does great on the slick roads where we live.

Because the small spare is only intended to get you out of a stranded situation. Nothing more. On these AWD vehicles you are correct….you need to change them all when one goes out. Buying a spare of the same make, size etc is not a good idea. It will still be a new tire among three road worn tires and you’ll have to buy a new set anyway. Keep the donut as a rescue and save your money on a full size spare.

@@tdz69 the spare is not the same make or size. It is still a donut tire very close to the right size. My question was why put a spare on 2.5” smaller when you can be nearly perfect and still fit in the designated spare tire location.

For a commuter car for a single person it looks great. If I wanted performance and speed I'd be looking at something else.

I was originally going to get the Kona, but they were out of stock for that vehicle, so I decided to get the Venue, which is still good with its 1.6L 4 cylinder engine, but I do wish I had the Kona for its 2.0L 4 cylinder since it does have a bit more power. And Hyundai's IVT transmission is actually really good. Nice and responsive, but I drive in the eco mode all the time, so the revs aren't going to be over 2000 rpm for me, but it does respond very well.
