My 2026 Kona

This is my 1st new car. I have brought a few used cars in my lifetime but new thought I could afford a new car. I had a list of vehicles that I wanted to buy/own and the KONA was number one on that list. Never thought I would get it, but the dream was there. After an accident, the insurance company totaled my older model car and I was given a decent value price for it, so I decided to by another used car. I decided to try the Hyundai dealership and there it was. My KONA, in the exact color I wanted and everything. I just looked at it, and test drove it and feel in love. Long story short, I brought it. A 2026 Kona. Dreams do come true.

Less power for being a 1.6T

Noisy engine.. proximity sensors going off all the time. Lack of power in standard drive mode... less than 5k miles. On it. Just seems like it could be better for high price tag

Expectations definitely not meant

I have only made one payment on my vehicle and we all know when we buy a new vehicle. We don’t have payments anywhere from 45 to 60 days and I have already had a service my vehicle and have things replaced. There’s a lot of little things that are wrong and for being a 2026, I don’t think that’s acceptable.
