I traded in a MINI for the Kona, so am having to get used to something larger. Only had it for three days, but so far: It handles well, easy to drive, quiet and smooth, and the various sensors help with finding the edges that are further out than Im used to. Apart from the basics of driving, its a computer on wheels, and Im enjoying learning about all the safety and comfort feature. So far that has been easy - the dash info is clear to understand, menus are mostly self-explanatory, and I was able to set up the hands-free phone in a couple of minutes. Im also enjoying ignoring gas stations and plugging it in at home to fill up :). Sorta wish it wasnt so cold in winter without the heater on, and that the sunroof opened. It doesnt have quite theTeslas range, but then its price is considerably lower, plus its a hatchback not a sedan so a lot more convenient. Overall very happy with it.Mar 23, 2023

For the price and a 240 mile range on a single price it’s perfect. It was about 20k cheaper than my Mach-E but my girlfriend loves it and I’m happy with the monthly payments. Apr 20, 2022

For the price, the range is incredible. Its comfortable, quiet, and has straight forward controls. They sell a lot of these in Canada and Europe, and those reviews suggest that the reliability seems good. The parts are shared with the Soul EV, the Kona, and the Ionic and none have reported issues. The cold weather package includes a heat pump which is clutch in the winter.Aug 31, 2020
