Thank you and the same to you. It is comforting to know you like the brand and have stayed with it for so long, and I hope you have no reason to change.

Hope you enjoy the new car as much as we enjoy our Kona.

I sympathise with Rangefinder. Narrow roads, cycle lanes and keeping close to the verge when big lorries pass all cause the beeps. Some times I wish it was just one beep instead of three. It is something I put up with though. I believe there are three settings to L.A. Off, normal and active.

I have not come across this problem with our Kona and the only advise I can offer is to pursue the dealer. On a ...

Hi Mikeg, We are very pleased with our Kona SE. It was pre-owned with with 1,000 miles on the clock. We have had no problems and find it a vast improvement over our last car (a 2004 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2). I find it comfortable, responsive and above all, economical.
