Uh, the car was orange......OH!......You mean the woman! :)
We have a brand new Ulitmate 1.6l turbo and it's the business for sure. 5th Hyundai and we have never been disappointed.
Had my 1.6 T for 9 months. No complaints at all.
I was just trying to watch car reviews, not read thirsty KZread comments. But wow, this vid has both!
What a pleasant surprise, I just stumbled across this review and found Rebecca! Unsubscribed to Telegraph cars (which had gone quiet for a while) and subbed here!
I'm so glad they've decided to drop the 'pairing a phone' bit from the reviews. The newer reviews flow much more naturally.
Wow! Great outfit, the belt goes well with your hair. In the U.S., the 1.6 turbo is pretty decent. Drives well enough. The price is good too.
Great review. Again.
I love it, the sunset orange looks good, but Id still go for the surf blue though xD
I see you from Spain and I love your videos you are a great perisodista of the engine, to demas of a great pilot, a greeting
Excellent review
Was there even a car being shown, I was a bit distracted.
Beautiful and visually perfect.I could keep looking all day!

Of the Hyundai Kona, Kia Sonic, Honda CRV, Seat Aoron, Toyata Rav4, Peugeot 5008 and seat 500X, which would you recommend for entertainment, comfort, mpg ?
Good job. Looking good.
5ft 4 1/2 of pure perfection Classy RJ great review. You look absolutely blue tiful
So many things going on with the design. The basic shape is good but the plastic cladding is all over the place. The light configuration is odd
I like that luggage and definitely that engine!
I must say she is really charismatic... Can't ignore her at all.
Next, can you review Hyundai Kona EV?
Kona looks good!
looking forward to the EV test.
Is it coming with electric variet????
I'd love to get in that Kona!!!, love from Portugal...

A good comprehensive but still short Review of the Kona ... But as the woman said, it begins to look rather expensive - prices itself out of the market - when u choose a good-enough model plus all the bits n pieces u mite want. (Prhps a much better choice as an EV ?! )
Stunning and beautiful 😍 off course not talking about the car at all
I like the color blue Kona
Thanks for the leg show, Rebecca 🌹
I hope you review the Kia Niro EV and PHEV soon
Super nice!
I love the Kona. I test drove one and it is more on the sporty side. Funby corner with. If you can, get the Ultimate. AWD with multi-line rear axle. 1.6L turbo engine with fun double clutch tyranny.
That's one hell of a beauty... And the orange car also look nice

Why the i20, when it’s based on the i30 chassis?

A person reviewing cars must have the quality of conserving his/her objectivity after seeing several cars. If you set yourself to like a car, then when you will review other models that are 'not quite the same' you'll find yourself falling in subjectivity and not seeing the qualities. Also, it's not always smart to always compare things. Just tell us, is the car good enough ? We can then decide if we like the interior, comfort and so on. I have to say, overall the review is missing the point. The interior is not dull, the steering is actually quite fun, this is not a sports coupé, and the rear leg and headroom are absolutely perfect even for tall people, unless the person sitting in front is 6ft or taller. The only point I'll give you is indeed the trunk is small in size. I do recommend people give the car a try before they get brainwashed by these reviews saying "it not as much as the competitors".
During watching this review, all my thoughts are about Stella Cox :)
My god the Kona looks massive when Little you stood beside it! 😂 Great review!
What about material quality? Looks a bit cheaper than some of its rivals, but should wear well.

Stephan...Yes, it is quite hard and scratchy in the Kona cabin. However, it is well put together and nicely textured to make it feel a bit better than it is.
She could anything.But I just bought one. Collecting it tomorrow. ❤️

The Kona looks good,too ;)
Spec level compared to Australian version is poor. We start we have a 150HP 2.0 NA with 6 speed auto FWD. with 7" Display reverse camera, all around parking sensors and for $1500 AUD more all the active safety, AEB, Lane keep etc. for $28000 AUD (GPB16000) . The top of Range is (40k) (GBP22k) with a 185HP 1.6Turbo 4 7spd DCT and AWD.
The best Kona in the world is made in Portugal.. Its beautiful and built to take a daily pounding , very low maintenance and plenty of attitude when pushed to the limits, a machine that you must keep lubed so that it won’t leave you stranded when the going gets rough . Great bang for a your buck An overall beast 🇵🇹 🐈👍🤣
is that you!? rebecc??? you look even better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I want an Arona. Definitely not getting a Kona because I need space an the Arona has that.
I could not watch the car to be honest because of the beauty speaking and I just love her accent...what a beauty you are Rebecca 😘

Cars like that may be popular due to poor road maintainance, a cynic might observe. However, they are bound to burn more fuel, just because of their aerodynamic drag and tyre rolling resistance. Even without the sums, it just looks inefficient energy wise - just looking at it tells the story.
Nice
Simply stunning. Be still my beating heart!!!

So, the question is, what car would have to feature on here for the car to be at least as interesting to listen to and look at as Rebecca ? I'd have to suggest a 1989 V8 Vantage.

A coach with a sleeping area. Full review of every seat as that would take some time?
If you would write a receipe for the best small lady, then Rebecca appears to have followed that to the letter
Hyundai is cheaper in Europe like Britain and Germany but expensive in USA
I was trying to figure out what is wrong with this Kona, only to realize that this is a U.K. version. Oops!
How can you review a car in 2018 and say it is a '2020 Hyundai Kona review'
Not the car for me I'm not 5 foot 4 and a half unfortunately 😔

She's pure yummers
It's funny how after so many years of experience, car designers manage to screw up several details or don't get the basics right. I suggest it is possible to make the perfect car, but too often the latest car is worse in several areas than the car it replaces. I simply don't understand why this happens. A good looking car but not a contender.
Hyundai Kona vs Kia Stonic?

If she would review a Lada Niva no one would have noticed.

What about the EV?
In Portugal they had to change this car's name to Kauai because Kona is actually a swear word!

Karl...It is much cheaper. But I like the fact that you can get much better options on the Kona, even if you have to pay for them. And for some reason, the seating position in the Stonic is REALLY low! Not crossover like at all.

Gentlemen, she just picked up a banana and put it in a storage compartment. She didn't do anything sexual at all. Steady there!
Rebecca, you are the perfect kona. In norwegian, if you say, "hun er kona mi", its mean; she is my wife.
Becky with the good hair?
This Hyundai is alright! They have come such a long way since their late 80s junk. Now to the obligatory Rebecca commentary - she has been hotter in other reviews, but i am not sure she has ever been sexier. Rebecca is such a doll, and that accent too? And she's a race car driver as well? Such a catch.
i only clicked on this for the short dress
Interior looks old fashioned though.
Never wanted to be a Kona wheel arch so much in my life.
Красивая девушка! И авто тоже ;)
Nice hair and blue dress RJ...
Mitsubishi ASX (Outlander Sport) instead.
I had one , after a week of having it , someone smashed into the back of me and i got pushed into the ditch next to the road , so now I have a seat arona 😅
I love manual Transmission and i hate automatic Transmission :)
