I just got 2024 Hyundai Kona and I am so glad I got it. I drove BMW or Mercedes SUVs for so many years, last one being 2019 bmw 3x. I just can’t not believe how great Kona is in every way! I highly recommend to give a test drive before buying, you will save a ton of money and just as good or better car.

Just purchased a 2024 Honda HRV last week, the interior room is perfectly spacious for my family. I have no issue with it's lack of horsepower, it is still one of the most reliable and has one of the best safety features.

How is it on the highway? I'm considering either the HRV, Corolla Cross, or Crosstrek. We mostly use it for short city trips and errands, several day trips in the summer, and one annual longer road trip (for three passengers including one teen). I'm disappointed in the lack of an armrest or connectivity in the back of the HRV but it's not a deal breaker. Any opinions based on the above?

Actually, the Crosstrek is a quarter inch longer, and the wheelbase is 1 and a half inches longer, so it feels bigger in the passenger seats. The Corolla Cross is indeed wider by an inch and taller by 2 inches. It also has a bit more cargo space.

I have had my hyundai for several years, and have never had any problems, i love it.❤

I love my 2018 Subaru no problems so far also great in the snow!

I needed a cross over for easier access and exit of this aged body. Not an easy move from a life of "exotic" vehicles. However age and common sense and the need not to have two money draining very low mileage cars on the drive meant a brain choice rather than heart. I chose a VW T-Cross and whatever critics say it is a great vehicle for my current needs with it's 1.5 ltr Turbo and auto box. Yes it is no looker , maybe the 2024 will be, but great to drive , very comfortable and quiet. 🇬🇧

I love the "spaceship" design of the new Kona but when you add AWD to the Limited model (I'm driving my 2nd Limited Kona), it's almost $35,000!!! For that price, a hybrid is a better deal.

I bought a CX-30 since I could choose which gear is best to drive in. For an automatic, going up or down one gear at a time saves me a lot of shifting of the transmission when traffic slows down or or on undulating mountain roads and is the best alternative to a manual transmission I could find now. With no CVT, the six speed transmission gives me the opportunity to use only the gear I want to use at the time.
