2025 Kona at 2 weeks

I cannot review a car after 2 weeks. It takes Motor Week on PBS a year to tell you about a cars good and bad points.

It's a beater.

Reliable so far. Ticked off all the boxes on needed features, though some feel like they are missing given the Limited trim... auto-windshield wipers, seat memory, etc. Most of my annoyance comes from after-sales experience, both with the local dealer and Hyundai Corporate. My Kona arrived with the left, rear garnish assembly jutting out. All that was wrong was a clip, but the dealer insisted on replacing the entire panel. However, these panels are impossible to get from the factory and require painting, which is never going to match exactly. So I basically have a brand new vehicle with an "unpainted" panel that sticks out. There is a LOT more to this story, but this won't ever get read or addressed, so I'm just venting here. I refuse to go back to the dealer due to their incredibly poor customer service, and I put just as much blame on Hyundai for delivering a vehicle that should have been corrected at factory AND having zero ability and willingness to make things right with an actual factory part.

This is worlds away from the 2019 model I previously owned.

The 2025 is totally reengineered and is more spacious. The gear shift is back on the steering column instead of between the seats - allows for better use of space. The ride is smoother, sound system better, truck space is larger. Love the ventilated seats and heated steering wheel!

Better than Expected

My first SUV, I was apprehensive. Owned sporty coupes most of my life, this was a big change. Love the features and comforts. Although there are some features I miss, i.e, automatic mirrors and seat setting memory, I adapted and love the ride. What I wasn’t happy about is this vehicle came with a hitch or bike rack mount on it, which would have cost me 160.00 to remove. Not understanding why that would arbitrarily be put on a vehicle, and cost me to remove. Not many people, in my opinion, would have a need for that. So as of now, I feel that ruins the look of the vehicle but I refuse to pay to have it removed when I had no need for it. That was something that I noticed when I picked up the car, after the fact. Had I known that prior, I wouldn’t have made the deal unless that was removed.
