Congrats to your Mom! I hope she enjoys it as much as I do my '18 Kona SEL...2 1/2 years and 32k miles later, I'm still loving it as much as day one! Time has flown since I commented on your 2018 Kona review...lol So far, not one problem, glitch, or complaint whatsoever! Very impressive for a first year model...still taunt and tight, with no wind noise or rattles...and still average around 36 mpg...

The Kona does very good in snow, and is very easy to park in smaller spaces. The mpg is very good once you put more air in the tires, I can get near 33-34mpg with awd. I love the simplicity and ease of use of the touch screen display, by far the most real life friendly display I used. Great warranty and nothing will beat it in price range and class. Down side: 1) way too much road noise. I would not use for long road trips. It’s really a city car that can get you through snow blizzards. 2) way too much interior plastic, although it looks good it feels like hard plastic. 3) storage space is really bad because of the sporty design of car, it slopes down reducing head room and storage space in the rear. 4) very low power, if you have a smaller range to make a pass, you won’t be able to do it in this car, it’s REALLY slow. 5) lower trim headlights are really bad at night, like really bad. 6) no air of heater vents in rear means driver is roasting or freezing before rear passengers feel anything.

I will check out other recent videos of yours. One of the best reviewers on the web,

I had my stock HID’s converted to LED’s a few months ago, and now that is has been getting cold, I have a lot of condensation building up inside the housings because they do not get hot enough to dry them out. Now I have to get additional vents put in. 🤷🏼♂️

I like the overview of the car that you did (seemed more like an overview rather than a review), but at the end you didn't really answer the question. Is it a good bare bone base model for the price/features (in your opinion)? What are your likes and dislikes about the base and how does it compare with the other trims? would you recommend it? Who would the base model be for?

Just picked up my new 2021 Kona Essential yesterday and liked the drive home. Traded in a 2008 elantra and already miss the automatic open trunk function; the button to open the hatch back is small and difficult to find when wearing gloves in the cold Canadian winter. Wish there was more storage in doors and consol. So far, the manual has not helped me find answers to my " how to " questions so thank you for your vlog. Please talk about the heated seats, heater, ac.

I have the 2021 Kona Ultimate, and I agree with you 100% on the trunk. It is very small. Also, you have to be careful how much and how you place items in the trunk or it won’t close properly. I learned this the hard way. I had a 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition with the cargo net and I miss everything that you’re talking about. Also, I find myself “googling” a lot to get answers to my questions.

I personally would go for the Seltos mainly because it’s bigger all around. Exterior dimensions, passenger space, and cargo space are all a fair amount larger. The Kona is still spacious considering how small it actually is, but Seltos definitely has more room
