I’ve never liked the Kia souls boxy look even if it gave the best space/volume. The Niro is a great car comprising distance for size however it became a non starter when it only came in one colour for the base model; black; that j would never buy a black, white, or grey car ever again. It’s amazing how the little thing can be a go/no go. The Kona EV checks off everything I had in my want list for a car. Roof rack, electric, distance, cx-5 shape (though it’s length is that of a cx-3 that wasn’t a no go as the space in the hatch is still larger then my mothers Mazda 3 sport) price, and overall drive feel and general look. The two tone colour really levelled it up that it isn’t a ultimate option. Finally feature wise my current car required a $4000 package upgrade to get silly things like Bluetooth music and not just Bluetooth calling, variable intermittent wipers(mine is Just intermittent) and the stupid CVT over a traditional
Auto or manual. Cannot wait to get my Kona!!!!
