[@MicahMuzio]

Hey, friends. Yes, this is a re-upload. We had a bizarre issue with our Kona review when it launched last week. Apologies for any confusion and thanks for understanding!!

[@ItsTheSidJ]

That’s what I thought. The 5.0 people joke made me realize that 😅

[@BoopSnoot]

Deja vu, it happens when they change something in the Matrix! Knuckle up!

[@bbennett40]

Oh thank goodness. I was way confused for a minute. ::whew::

[@McSMACKthe1st]

I thought I was having another Mandela Effect episode in my life. Yes, I said “another”. The blonde girl at the end of “Moonraker” had braces and you can’t convince me that she didn’t!!!

[@MicahMuzio]

@@McSMACKthe1st Moonraker and the Mandela effect in one comment?!? I wish I could ❤ this twice. Also, are you telling me the girl didn’t have braces???

[@mikerules666]

Your daughter : "I would never do a commercial". Next video comes out: "We are now sponsored by Flying Eyes and Pepperidge Farm Goldfish". 😜

[@MicahMuzio]

Were gunning for that sweet Goldfish money!!!

[@ianpoole8088]

@@MicahMuzio Remember when Micah's daughter said "No" to doing commercials? Pepperidge Farms remembers!

thx for your honest review i recently bought the Kona and i absolutely love it, great ride , fantastic tech and great color , i got the soltronic orange

[@naveenthemachine]

Looks great. Still one of the better cuvs in the class

[@christ9145]

So many good features! I know it’s random but my OCD loves the fact that all the windows roll down completely! 😂 also amazing that there are ventilated seats as an option!

[@DrummerBoi1993]

I always loved the Kona! And I'm not necessarily a fan of trucks and crossovers

[@MicahMuzio]

It's hard to find more distinct style for less money than a Kona.

[@harmonybat]

I feel like Hyundai has made "maybe you could try not sucking" a whole, successful business strategy (they were so terrible when I was but a young driver), and honestly I love that for them. I try to import it at my work from time to time, where success is decidedly mixed.

[@FCReviews]

@micahmuzio i can confirm my review Kona limited unit had wireless carplay and android auto both worked perfectly. I also noticed that all modern hyundais have that new updated infotainment too. as always great work sir.

[@MicahMuzio]

Thanks for verifying. Cheers!

[@FCReviews]

@@MicahMuzio anytime sir always great to help out a legend

[@yadthink]

I like this vehicle, other than the mark-of-Zorro side panels and the bland rear, which perhaps needs some Zorro inspiration. It's remarkable what Hyundai & Kia have done in a short time span.

[@SheldonYing]

Huzzah , the innuendo iguana 🦎 is back!

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Hi Micah!!!

[@thndercat1]

People always tell me that Hyundai is an inferior company that makes horriblevehicles. It’s so confusing out there

[@denault3985]

Nice for a low cost SUV. Big question, does Micah still work for KBB?

[@MicahMuzio]

I do still work for KBB. But these days I'm doing managerial work behind the scenes.

[@denault3985]

Thanks for answering, your name is no longer mentioned on KBB videos.

[@BoopSnoot]

@@MicahMuzio Rumor is that Micah is a "helicopter manager".

[@tuanh_duong]

This or the Mazda CX-30???

[@techpappee]

Some of the futuristic design is due to it being designed as a EV first then retrofitted for ICE powertrains. Personally I prefer the body painted fender variants but I do like its design. I actually think the origami like lines on the sides make more sense here compared to a Elantra or Tucson that have it. On size, I believe it’s as or larger than an older (90s early 20s) CRV, Rav4 etc. Our subcompact now are as large as yesterday’s compacts.

[@jonathankleinow2073]

Any rumors about a hybrid version in the works? Same question applies to Honda and the HR-V. I watched a review of the ZR-V (what they call the HR-V in Europe) with a hybrid and it's exactly what I'm in the market for, but the only option here seems to be the Corolla Cross Hybrid, which seems overpriced and undercontented (is that a word? Probably not).

[@MicahMuzio]

It would be crazy for Hyundai not to bring a Kona hybrid stateside. It's already exists elsewhere in the world.

[@General_M]

@@MicahMuzioall these automakers not bringing the hybrid versions to the US market irritate the heck outta me. My Ioniq Hybrid is great and I’ll probably keep it for a very long time, but when my lease is up I would have at least like to have tried a Kona Hybrid, or take an HR-V hybrid out to see if the hybrid makes up for its anemic engine in todays model. But no, only small car options are the Prius, whose gauge cluster and steering wheel makes me want to put bleach in my eyes, or the Elantra Hybrid which is fine but I don’t want a sedan. The upcoming Civic Hatch Hybrid will be my only other genuine option, but my last Civic Hatchback was a rattle trap and I’m worried a new one would be too.

[@shannonk.harper4606]

2024 Hybrid Konas are in the US already.

[@remiilatte]

What about a vs video against the Kia Niro? The styling on the niro is much my preference

[@slighwentwalking2024]

They don't mess around with new models...its a significant departure from last year. The N? with the rear spoiler I don't like it as much. 1st generation Kona still look good , not dated. The Iron Man version was ...aahh.. gimmicky 🤨 ..but I grin every time I see one.

[@Guzzzr]

review the ioniq 5

[@MicahMuzio]

We really should. Thanks for the reminder!

[@rickyh527]

5'10-long-torso-brethren, rise! ✊🏼

5'10" hi5!! 🖐

[@BoopSnoot]

Just say you're "six foot minus two and very long", it sounds better.

[@MicahMuzio]

@@BoopSnoot When I start doing that, everyone can blame you. 😁

[@Quantum-ho9te]

is it just me or doses anyone else miss screaming mica ?

[@MicahMuzio]

That's hilarious. I remember quite a few "stop screaming at me" comments back in the day. 😂

[@a.c.7541]

Deja vu

[@AlleyKatt]

Yep, déjà vu all over again.

[@Michael-ur5qb]

Looks good but can we stop putting every feature imaginable on budget entry level cars. Part of the reason why cars have gotten expensive. If you want luxury features get a luxury car.

[@otmbenji453]

The base Kona is 24k. Which for the market is affordable. They also offer a venue for less than $20k base. Those are budget options.

[@robertlandry5676]

Definitely SubCompact 🥴

[@andrescastillo07]

I'm the only one that thinks this car looks terrible from the outside? What a weird design! haha

[@auronedgevicks7739]

it's fine but those large plastic side trim over the wheels... I wish East Asian manufacturers would stop doing that. so ugly, one scratch and your vehicle is ruined

[@MicahMuzio]

Thankfully the N-Line trim does away with the plastic body cladding. I really like how it looks.
