The 2023 Hyundai Kona N continues to be a better hot hatch value than almost anything else on the market, such as the Honda Civic Type R, Toyota GR Corolla, and Acura Integra Type S. While the Hyundai Kona N is slightly smaller than something like an Acura Integra Type S, it makes up for it by being $20k cheaper than the Type S and at least $10k cheaper than the Civic Type R and GR Corolla. Like the Honda Civic Type R and Integra Type S, the Kona N is FWD only, which is a bit of a bummer, but considering how good it drives I don't think most people will be disappointed. In this review of the Hyundai Kona N, Megan takes her first hot hatch out for a vigorous drive and even kind of admits that the Hyundai Kona N might be the perfect vehicle for an enthusiast dad like me. If you like this review of the Kona N, check out my previous Kona N review below, which was just as glowing, and my warning on why you probably shouldn't buy the Hyundai Kona N Line because it has potentially awful transmission issues. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Buy this car! My wife and I absolutely LOVE our 2022 Sonic Blue KONA N. It's really several cars rolled into one because it enables the driver to customize a range of settings for the suspension and steering stiffness, throttle response, transmission shift points, limited slip differential engagement, electronic stability control, and exhaust racket. All of these parameters are maxed out in pre-programmed "N Mode," which is why EVERY REVIEWER complains about how STIFF the car rides in that setting but, with a push of a button, you can choose a more compliant suspension setting a la the pre-set for the car's default "Normal Mode."

You have a great video. I've been driving a Kona N since June 2022 and I'm very happy with it. The Kona N is a lot of fun. As a summer vehicle, I still drive a 2016 Subaru WRX STi. I love both vehicles. The Kona N is very rarely seen on the street with us. You can see much more I30N.

This just put a huge smile on my face. My friends and family are much like wife here, they dont totally get it but they kinda do. I am pretty much the singular car guy in the family and just drove my 2023 Kona N off the lot the other night, they were all baffled to see it roll up as i made the rounds, saying "thats not a very you car, wtf is going on?!" until i took them for a ride..... and instantly they understand. its a WHOLE lot of car for the money, sure there are some sacrifices in the space and ride comfort department but thats a given for a performance focused vehicle.

I have a red Kona N and I love it!

As I package, I love this car. I'm a current GTI owner in Georgia and this would be on my short list to replace it (along with the Mazda CX-30) since my garage layout can support the length of 2 midsize SUV and I'm parking in the driveway (lol).

Mazda 3 Turbo user here. At our house my Wife drives Nissan Titan Pro 4 X and I drive the Mazda 3. She loves the Mazda 3. That being said she had a 2002 Lexus IS 300. Does the Kona N feel like a in line 6 rear wheel drive? The Mazda 3 Turbo does feel like an in line 6 rear wheel drive.

Elantra N next PLEASE! :)

Seen those 2 cars race several times , Mazda got out first and the Kona quickly overtook it and left it far behind.

Considering getting this or a grown up hybrid SUV……

Love your reviews, good job Meg hammering it through the twisties at 34 mph 🫣. Jax I was all in as another hot hatch to look at besides my fav so far the VW Golf R…awd eight speed auto…but then you said FW drive only, yup I’m up north. Have you reviewed the Golf R, what would be your best suggestion for a look at I should spend some time on? Keep up the good work I watch all of your stuff 👍🏻
