We love the Hyundai Kona N so much, that we tried to buy it! Unfortunately we couldn't, but you should! This hot compact packs quite the punch, and causes all the fizz.

My Kona N is now 1 year old. This is one of those rare cars that checked all the boxes for me. Here they are: 1. Good sounding exhaust out the box. 2. Amazing DCT 3. Bags of power 4. Ground clearance to get me to trail heads (for Mt Biking) 5. No stupid center exhaust allowing for a trailer hitch to carry my bikes (Boo Type R!) 5. Put it in Eco and I get 30+ MPG. Hammering it in N mode yields 26mpg ish. 6. Powerful brakes 7. Although the interior is "cheap", Hyundai pulls it off without looking or feeling so. 8. Multiple drive modes are welcome. Albeit, the softest suspension setting is still a little stiff...........so far at 23k miles no issues. Despite the stiff suspension, this car has no rattles and has a feeling of solidity to it. This has been a great car that I look forward to driving everyday. How fun is this car? Well, my other car is an ND2 Miata, trust me , the Kona N is a great machine.

I got the Kona N over the Elantra N because of the seats. The Kona N's seats were more comfortable for my body type. I have enjoyed it the whole time I have had the car.

I'll never understand why people bother to review Hyundais, Kias and other cheap crappy cars like this. I mean, if you're buying one of these things it's probably because you can't afford a decent car. I've been in the car business my whole life and have had so many problems with these damn things and heard so many horror stories, when I sell one of these I almost feel bad for the customer. My mechanic is always making jokes about these little Korean cars too. He had a customer with a newer Hyundai that has replaced her engine twice under warranty and it's only 7 years old! I really can't understand why so many people still buy this junk. KZfaqrs review them and pretend like they're nice cheap little cars. I mean, ya no $h!t! Of course it's nice now! It's a brand new car with zero miles on it!! Lol There's a good reason you don't see too many 15 year old Hyundais and Kias driving around.

Kudos to Hyundai for building something fun and fast, but for around the same H.P. I think I’d rather have a MINI Cooper 2 door JCW. It’s a lower sporty car, and has more useable back seats than the Kona, and more personality.

I love how the second the welcome chime plays both charlie and chris pause everything they're doing and saying just to point it out. I'd like more welcome chime appreciation

I bet this rides much better in a state with functional infrastructure.

The fact you guys had so much fun showed. I think that's all that matters for "drivers car" enthusiasts.

I have a complaint. Around the DCT bezel, there are blank buttons. Nothing says low rent like blank buttons, especially on an N model. Otherwise, no complaints. I still think the EN would be my pick, with the 6spd manual.

After looking at new(or newish) cars in the under 40k price range for 3 years, this was the first one that actually piqued my interest enough to go look at. Did 3 test drives in two different Kona Ns, ended up buying one in Sonic Blue. Absolutely phenomenal vehicle for the price point, plenty of practicality, tons and tons of fun. Literally enjoy driving it significantly more than my last car, which was AWD and made ~560hp and over 600lb/ft of torque.

Such a fun review! I definitely need to go test drive this! I need a fun car, I’m dying inside 😂

My neighbor has one of these and she let me drive it, I was very impressed with it, the dual-clutch transmission is really nice and fast, it did get hot hitting 225 degrees
