2018 Kona Turbo Ultimate AWD: Great, Could be Greater
Knowing Hyundai via my 2014 Veloster Turbo, the improvements in interior and high-tech features are notable in the Kona! Plus, even at lower horsepower, the Kona is FASTER due to the 7 speed gearing and higher revving setup (via Sportsmode). Plus, it is 2 inches shorter, which for a city dweller like me, makes this car a home run. The lane keep assist (steering within the lines for you if needed) is a great safety feature, as are all the others (blind side monitoring, pedestrian detection, vehicle detection/i.e. it can brake for you on the highway if needed). What it's missing is the Smart Cruise Control (available on other Hyundais), the ventilated seats (also available on other Hyundais), and for Headsup Display, using Android Auto navigation (as the included navigation is klugey at best, plus why would you use it when you can just push a button and talk to Google maps?) I looked at the Mazda CX3...controls not-intuitive, interior definitely much nicer, but underpowered by comparison, and the storage space is no bueno in comparison (tiny in CX3.)...in my Veloster I was able to put two road bikes in (removed front tires on each)...I believe i can do the same in the Kona.
