@@lotsofcurveslover I’ve actually owned 5 GTI’s. They are practical, fun but nothing like this and I love how much you can adjust on this car. It’s a driver focused track ready purposed built car.
Greetings from the US. The Kona N checks a lot of boxes for me. If it came with a manual I would be in line tomorrow. A very small percentage of buyers would want a third pedal so I understand Hyundai's decision. I keep coming back to this car just don't know if I would be happy in the long run. Looking for something to replace my aging WRX wagon this year. Especially after the plastic laden new model. Enjoyed your review!
I used to be a manual lover but the dual clutch Evo X made me a dual clutch believer. I drove a Veloster N and was pretty impressed by the trans. I can fit in the Kona much better than the Veloster so this is #1 on my list right now. I had a 2016 WRX and was very disappointed by it. I think this is the closest thing to a modern reliable Evo that I can find even though it’s fwd.
