Hello! I just bought the Kona Limited last night after a week or two of looking and research. We drove the SEL first but as soon as we sat in the Limited with upgraded interior and motor we were sold on it. I hope to have many years enjoyment from my Kona.

Congratulations, I'm about to pickup a SEL AWD with tech package in blue.....I'm excited. Good to hear you someone is enjoying their new Kona.....I can't wait.

We drove a SEL FWD with tech package but once we drove the Limited with the leather, wheels, and 1.6 motor that was all she wrote....

We got the Limited in Thunder Grey. Very interesting paint. The metallic flakes pick up other colors. It looks different depending on the surroundings.

I have now put close to 3000 miles on my Kona limited. On a five hour interstate trip I averaged 34 miles to the gallon. Even around town I seem do you average between 30 and 32 miles per gallon.

Thats great for an AWD.

It is a FWD.

Sorry I thought is was an AWD, sorry!

Have sel awd, 2.0 .& safety package. Wish I could have gotten the climate control as an option. Leather seats did not sell me, much better in my outback. Limited adds about $50 more per tire going up to 18 rims too. Overall not a bad vehicle, but awd is only for below 19 mph ! Play on words, not 4 wd. Gave up my toyota matrix theory for this, gosh I still love that car ! New matrix or iM, is smaller compact sporty look, just did not sell me. Kona has a little more taller room. My first hyundia too, hope it works out in the long run ?

If you ever see a Lime Twist Limited AWD around, it might be me and the SO. We're down in Atlanta, but we go climbing in Eastern TN a ton!

Up here they are calling it Acid Yellow --maybe not exactly the same?? Lime Twist does sound a bit less harsh.
