Hyundai Kona Road Trip Part Two SMMT & Yorkshire Dales | A Twig Too Far? 

We fnd it really gives a more rounded experience to the viewer and adds info we can’t fit in reviews, thank you for the kind words.

Great to hear, and you’re welcome, enjoy your red beast 🛞

It’s better than ever and fun too, many improvements - thank you Ambien

Well we achieved something similar in terms of mpg on country roads so we would expect similar in the city. Glad you enjoyed part two. Thank you @lefteriskaskaniotis7599

That twig, tree couldn’t believe it, it was motivated to leave its previous home by Hyundai exec travel open air 😆😊 thank you David

@@PlanetautoUK ha ha! 😄

We’re trying to get one Genius 🙃, this is very good, you going to test drive one?

@@PlanetautoUK Im not due to order until March, But its defo on the list now. Wasnt expecting it to be this good. Love the looks. The list so far is the new Megane, MG4, Kona and the 5dr Mini Cooper S, Absolutely loved it when i had it for a courtesy car.

That’s a hec of a list, challenging whittling that down

@@PlanetautoUK A hell of alot of youtube videos and reading reviews for the next 5 months.

Yes, that’s what we do for virtually everything ☺️

Thank you, @beautyofnature - glad you enjoyed it. We talk about the economy in Part 1 - have you seen it? If it doesn’t answer your question, let us know, and we will dig through our footage. *A

@@PlanetautoUK thank you so much for your reply ❤️

You’re very welcome 😊

Yes the twig noise was massively concerning, it made noises varying from brakes down to the rivets, vibration and scraping - that twig was proper jammed though. Speed monitors go off and never take into account the 2or 3% discrepancy, the eye one didn’t even clock it. Safety on new cars is massive overwatch, that’s just how it is. This is an impressive SUV across the board.

Hi Taylor, it is indeed Ecotronic Grey Metallic, and yes it does have a blue-ish hue in the sunlight, which I rather liked. Thank you.

@@PlanetautoUK In the Kona, would you choose Ecotronic Grey over say black/white?

Safety systems alerts, good question they can be in other vehicles.

Have you got anything in mind, David?

@@PlanetautoUK I would love a Volvo S60 but my wife wants us to downsize for a smaller car, unfortunately we have 3 dogs and one with a bad knee so we carry a large dog pram in the boot. I quite like the Toyota Corolla/Suzuki Swace but nothing wrong with the 6 year old ASX just the lights.

@davidtaylor5463 have you tried uprating the bulbs?

@@PlanetautoUK I was going to but I have read that a Osram bulb etc etc is a MOT fail. I used these in an old fabia I had years ago and it passed its MOT. Not sure why those bulbs are now a MOT failure.

@@PlanetautoUK Ask Honest JohnHonest John Ask Honest John » New MoT headlight rules - will my car pass? What's your question? Search here New MoT headlight rules - will my car pass? I replaced the headlight bulbs on my Volkswagen Golf about 18 months ago. Since then the new MoT rules have been introduced. The replacement bulbs are Osram Night Breakers. will my car pass the MoT with the replacement bulbs left in, I believe headlight bulbs was one of the items that were being changed. Asked on 13 February 2019 by Jo Answered by Dan Powell The update to the 2018 MoT rules stipulates that halogen headlamps shouldn’t be converted to HID bulbs. These can usually be identified with a 'DCR' marker on the bulb or a bluish tinge to the light that the unit produces. If the car left the factory with HID headlights then the new rules will not affect its MoT; however, any vehicle with HID aftermarket bulb conversions will automatically

Not really, a lot of vehicles now do it whether it’s lane warning or 1mph over limit 🫨 thank you Adrian

There's been an update just released. If you hold the mute button for a few seconds on start-up, it will disable the beeps for that journey

@TehMisteh557 thank you for the heads up 😀

You’re very welcome Damon - it depends on your budget and whether you want ICE or Electric / Hybrid, there’s reviews of all the above somewhere in the channel :) overall it’s economical, enjoyable to drive with a decent warranty. Keep us posted on how you get on.

The Arkana, Qashqai, Karoq and Ateca are all from the segment above. The Kona is a Captur, Juke, Kamiq and Arona competitor...
