There will never be a car like this again. Have owned mine for over 3 months and just love it. It keeps me on my toes and find myself looking out for potholes because of the stiffer suspension and expensive tires, but that makes me more vigilant and I enjoy the challenge! I love the ground clearance and ride height. It has plenty of power for FWD. It’s a perfect DD. I’ve had a 2008 SI, 2014 WRX, Fiesta ST, Mustang Mach 1, and THIS is the most fun car I’ve ever owned.

2 years, 40k miles on my Kona N. Stage 2 tuned with bolt ons, absolutely fantastic and fun car to drive. My favorite car I've owned by far, and I've had some pretty sweet cars. Trading it in later this year when I hit 60k miles; still not sure I'm gonna replace this monstrosity with...

“Most fun N car…” High praise indeed from The Topher!

Hey, chibi, how are you enjoying it? I'm a big guy and found out I can fit in a Kona, kinda want one. How is it holding upm

most accurate review of the Kona N such a underrated car this car is literally the best car I've ever been in... so damn fun the look on peoples faces when u let it pop.... like no one expects it and the cars that i have kept up with or beaten is surprising... i wanted a performance blue but unfortunately it wasnt available and the dealer only had a red one but i think i like the red one the most it sticks out and is the brightest red ive even seen on a car it fits it pretty well

Used to work at a Hyundai dealership. This is definitely the best car Hyundai makes for your buck. Driving a decent amount of Hyundais in my time there, this is the most comfy and nice car of their's to drive in my opinion. Perfect amount of horsepower and perfect for a family.

Phenomenal review. The car really is this good. Unbelievable performance for the price and if you live in an area with bad roads the ground clearance is great. Elantra N you can even pull into a driveway without scraping the front bumper.

Great review! Awesome to see it getting great praise and def proud to own this amazing N car!

Great video! Just came home from my Sunday morning thrashing ( like what you are doing in the video) of my Kona N and saw you finally made a review on one. I'm 50 and have owned all kinds of cars , type R's(not civics) , Mustangs, Camaros, CRX, etc. This is by far the funnest vehicle I have ever had. And like you say it does an excellent job with the split personality thing. The harder you push these things the more fun they are. I'm sure you were on 3 wheels a couple times 😂!

Bought one of these puppies. Your POV was a part of what influenced me. Thanks for doing these.

saw one of these things at a stoplight, but i heard it launch control first. i was like... huh? watched it take off wide open and never thought id look at a Hyundai like that

Owned my 23 since October, and still just so happy I bought this thing. I still love the GRC and the CTR, but this thing just speaks to me.

Facts man all I get is stares “what kind of car is that bro?” 😎 no one else in my local area has one

Kona N has shortest Wheelbase among all N cars while being based on facelifted i30N/Veloster N platform instead of being in Elantra N platform - this means best turn-in and rotation among all N cars. If you driven all three, you can see that car philosophy kinda changed with Elantra N (more focus in medium speed sweeping corner than short corner because that's wayyy faster in track and a lot stable) but as thopher mentions this car (and cars based on i30N/Veloster N) turns in and rotate a lot better (especially off throttle fwd oversteer) because they used WRC style short damper stroke in the rear so that people can throw the car in corner which I prefer for road. Also Veloster N has last gen turbo turbine hence the less power but that is not the case for FL i30N and Kona N so you are not losing much on power. Also I do agree with Topher on DCT, both of my cars are manual in US, E91 and Evora, but DCT is so superior for price point and manual is so average... I feel like you get more out of DCT because DCT is so good. Lastly, I agree that big missed opportunity is missing adaptive crusie, which is actually a selling point over Elantra N in Korea. I would have bought this car as Daily in US if they had Adaptive Cruise like Korea.... WHY HYUNDAI WHY
