Cons

  I have no real reason not to like it.

Pros

• Ride and Handling

  the car is a complete sleeper. Great commuter car, but when you mash the gas it hauls like a scalded ape. Surprises all the tailgaters.

• Cargo Space

  Love the hatchback and ability to haul stuff, and yet round corners like a gocart.

Cons

• Cabin Noise

  It's a great car. Might be a little rough riding for most, but perfect for me.

• Interior Space

  Some people complain about back seat room. It's fine if you haul kids or people under six feet tall.

Pros

• Cabin Noise

  Quiet

• Styling

  Sporty

• Interior Space

  Roomy

Cons

Pros

• Value

  This is no trim option for the Kona N FYI. The performance you get with the price is the best I’ve seen. It’s not the fastest but it is the most fun car I’ve driven that is not $60000.

• Fuel Economy

  I average 22 mpg with spirited driving and 30 mpg with long distance driving.

• Ride and Handling

  This can be a con but it is a stiff car but I like it because I feel the road a lot more. The DCT transmission has super fast shifts that makes everyday commute a joy. Also, the drive modes are great. When the car is in normal mode, it feels like a small Ford Edge with a better power curve (The Ford Edge as good power but the transmission feels holds back the performance and there is a huge drop off in power at the top of the RPMs.) I usually switch to custom 1 and drive around manually shifting gears. My custom 1 is N mode but with the suspension to its lowest setting. The last point is the ride height is perfect, in Mustangs and Challengers, you scrape on speed bumps and angled driveways. I never had this problem with the Kona N.

Cons

• Interior Space

  It’s a small car. I can fit my family in the car but it’s not like my Pilot Trailsport.

• Cabin Noise

  It is loud on bad roads. a lot of road noise if the road is not perfectly paved.

• Ride and Handling

  It has a DCT transmission so it not as refined as normal automatic transmission. During stop and go situations, the car pulls you forward more aggressively. Also you will feel the downshifts at lower speeds.

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  It's eaae to drive, the size it's just perfect, I don't find any cons about my beautiful Kona, I really love it and I'm enjoying everyday , I feel safe and comfortable

Cons

Pros

• Value

  I picked value over power because it's an amazing price for the power of this car. It's N performance car to the max, and it's a grocery getter at that. plenty of room. when I don't have a lot of money to spend and you love turbo cars this is a perfect car for you

• Power

  insanely fast!! nothing even comes close to this on the roads for the price except maybe it's brothers. the Elantra N, Veloster N

• Ride and Handling

  OMG!!!! that's all I have to say!!!!

Cons

• Fuel Economy

  As long as you're in eco mode you'll get good gas mileage 😉

• Cargo Space

  Really, I say cargo space because they didn't have one for fuel capacity. Only 300 miles to a tank and it goes quick in this little baby

• Cabin Noise

  and I'm just knit picking here

Pros

  I adore everything about this car. It drives so amazing and very reliable. It’s cute and efficient.

• Ride and Handling

  I love the 3 driving options: Normal, sport and eco.
