    I shopped all of the cars in this class. #1. C-HR #2. C-X3 and #3. HRV were my top picks until I found the Hyundai Kona. A white Hyundai Kona Limited is the car I recently purchased and I'm loving the car!!! I must be one of the first on the road here in Dallas. More car, similar tech, solid build, tight ride, dual clutch 7 speed transmission (NO CVT thank goodness!), fast (especially switching from normal to sport mode, it's like getting 2 cars in one) and great styling all for less 💰💰 with a better warrantee. The only thing I see when driving are heads turning and traffic in my rearview mirror ✌😎!!!

    @Trades46 6 лет назад +15

    The most convincing tiny SUV you can buy so far. Despite it's small size Hyundai continues to provide all the amenities and features the competitors leave off because it is their "entry level" offering.
    I'm personally more intrigued by the EV variant coming next year...

    The classic SaabKyle "what's under the hood" pose at the 06:00 videomark.....lol. Hands in his pockets while leaning over the engine bay with a deeply thoughtful facial expression, like he's done in every video over the past 5 years. His signature move.

    • @thedefenestrator2994
      @thedefenestrator2994 6 лет назад +2

      J High. I love it. It's so normal, like I do that too and most people do that. Not everyone stands like a sales person or leans on it like a model.

    This vehicle is something I’d definitely consider if I ever needed more space. Hyundai knocked it out of the park with the appearance. And 6 and a half seconds to 60? Granted, that’s not what you buy these for, but it helps for merging. I am sold.
    Also, when did the Elantra Sport sound so badass??

    @lisad6721 5 лет назад

    Did not intend on cconsidering this vehicle but when I took my Elantra 2015 for service and was given this Kona as a loaner... I unwillingly took it home and man did I fall in love with it. I heard compact SUV and was intimidating because I like small cars and never heard of KONA before but the ride is so smooth and the front is gorgeous.. I can see above cars when stuck in traffic so I don't feel suffocated lol. Thanks to their marketing/sales techniques... I am 70 percent sure I'm trading in 🙄 great review!! Thank you so much for pushing me over the edge of purchase haha🙃

    @Steve_in_NJ 6 лет назад +1

    Great detailed video -- I have been driving Elantras for awhile (2013 and 2016) but now looking at Kona for 2019. After your video, I'm thinking SEL with Technology Package because I'd rather have the safety features than the leather seats and Turbo. Thanks for pointing out that some features are NOT available in Limited model.

  • @sikidiki22
    @sikidiki22 6 лет назад

    i like that they are trying to be different, its not a horrible looking car, i think it looks cool. But they need to minimize the plastic cladding everywhere if they want to make it look better in my opinion, everyone knows what that plastic cladding will look like after 10+ years in the sun and weather

  • @isaacsimmons1301

    Kyle is a consummate professional reviewer. I tried to listen to other smaller independent reviewers and I got a headache from the very, very, really, actually and basically dialog when they reviewed. Kyle must have good writers or a thesaurus.

  • @jamesbensch6

    Tomorrow I'll find out if I get approved for a turbo Kona. Than I'll sale my beloved Fiero.
