We think you’ll like this, too:
The Kona’s cute, it starts cheap and – with the turbo – it’s more fun to drive than you’d expect.
The one aspect of Kona’s performance that is beyond expectations is its ride and handling.
It’s stylish, agile, suitably fast and it offers plenty of utility without giving up on the sporty side of life.
