New 2026 Hyundai Kona SEL

The interior has been a bit of an adjustment as I came over from a truck so head room and shoulder/back room have been interesting. I have to remember to lower the seat when driving or my head rubs the ceiling slightly and the wrap around, like a hug, bucket seats and my wide shoulders didn't get along for about a month. All the bells and whistles the SEL model included have been fun, for the most part, to learn but the lane keep wants to keep the car a little left of center so I don't use it often. I'm still plenty safe in my lane but prefer just right of center if not center. The standard speakers took a little getting used to but they don't sound half bad. FM radio reception is ok, SiriusXM has nothing of interest to me so I use my phone and Android Auto for the most part. Dual climate control rules! My favorite feature of the car is the headlights. They are very bright without being the least bit uncomfortable to the oncoming traffic unless the high beams are on. Coming from a truck that turned like a school bus to this thing that turns on a dime has been a blast, especially when parking in tight areas. Front wheel drive had also been a new thing to get used to with it being so much more responsive.
