Potential GT Purchaser with a few questions
Posted: Wed Oct 10, 2018 10:39 am
Hi all,
I’m thinking of downsizing my BMW X5 for the Kona GT and would be grateful for the help of any forum members in answering a few questions.
Is the Kona any good in snow on the standard UK fit tyres ? We live on a steep hill and need to be able to get to housebound mother-in-law who lives in the back of beyond (Penistone for this in the know). I have a set of winter wheels and tyres for the BMW but they don’t seem to be available for the Kona.
What is the real world fuel economy ? There isn’t any data on the current websites for the GT and I’ve seen a few adverse comments. Obviously people who are happy with the mpg are less likely to comment than those who aren’t (not a criticism, it’s just our nature) but I’m just trying to get a feel. The BMW easily does 35 mpg.
How easy is the DCT to live with ? I had a short test drive but the dealer was careful to drive first to “warm it up”. I though it was fine but it was only a 10 minute hop through town really.
Thanks in advance.
