Hello!
I went ahead and registered as this seems the most active Kona forum I can find. I'm likely getting a new car this summer or fall and have just begun the test driving process. Going in, the Kona and the Crosstrek are my "on paper" top two choices so I've been lurking around to see what buyers are saying. I live in the northern Rockies of the US so AWD is a must here.
I was hoping to test drive both today (the nearest non-domestic dealers are 50 miles from where I live) but it turns out even in a small city of 100,000 the dealers are all closed on Sundays! Who knew? So all I did was wander the lots and look at parked cars today. Still, the Kona looks pretty good close p and the blue and black both looked better in person then online or in videos.
We'll see if I go the Kona route in the end but it looks like a good option to me right now.
