Things I don't like

Well everyone has some good thoughts Sure the Kona has some small faults I think the hold button is my only quirk . Besides that the car is fabulous you just have to get used to the layout of all the buttons.

The adaptive cruise is the best thing since the internet I use it everywhere. Plus the backup side warning is great in Parking lots

 

A piddling thing, but hey, that's what this thread is about...
I really dislike the step up right in front of the seats. I like to pull my free leg up on longer drives and that damn little rise stops my heel from pulling close to the seat. It's a shame the floor isn't truly flat throughout.

 

I was driving yesterday and the car in front of me stopped suddenly. The Kona overreacted and kicked in the abs brakes way too hard. I was glad the guy behind me stopped in time. Hyundai needs to address this as it was definitely what I’ll call a near miss.

 

You can adjust the collision warning in three steps. Early, medium and late. I set mine to medium instead of early. Once in a while I feel like it's still a little bit to early but so far it's been better for me.

- I've come across the hump in front of the front seats as well. I'm 6'4 so the seats have to be all the way back for me to be comfortable. Driving on the highway with ACC on and moving your feet I got it a few times as well.
- the map updates should be easier and more current. Right now they are useless. I think, why not let people update them whenever they want. If I feel like updating then once a week, why not? It's my own time! And it doesn't really matter how many times I update within my 3 free years, does it?
- the nag screen is terrible!

What they're saying is that THEY are only going to update the maps that often.

 

Well, I'm pretty sure to maintain a map they work on it every day and not just twice a year. At least internally. Why not publish the changes more often and make it more valuable that way?

Ooh wait, that is entrepreneurial thinking which doesn't apply to legacy automakers.

Good complaints, Skookum Pete! I would like to add another one: The foot rest for the left foot is too small for big-footed North Americans and Europeans. It should be at least an inch wider. And we six-footers also need a gentler angle to the foot rest to make it effective and comfortable, especially during high-performance driving. But all in all, Hyundai has crafted a fine automobile.

 

Always wanted to meet Bigfoot.

 

Touché!
I guess I asked for that one.
But Damn! That footrest is too skinny for even a D-width shoe. Drive any German car and you won't have that feeling that your left foot is not securely anchored.

 

I hadn't noticed the footrest width but do note that the steering wheel barely telescopes far enough out so that I can position the seat to be allow a comfortable leg extension. It's right on the margin and I'm only 178cm (5'-10").

 

Yes, seat/wheel ergonomics are sub-standard and are apparently the result of short-sighted cost-cutting.
