Hi all,
Picked up my Kona today. 2018, premium GT, 1.6 auto with 4x4 in orange. Only 6500 miles on the clock, shes like new.
Love it already, never had a car with so much stuff on it.

Hi I've just bought a Kona hybrid on my way to full electric motoring. So far I'm quite happy with the car. Here's some + and - from my view.
Good use of space. We are all tall (I'm 6'4'') and the space work well
The look of the car is great, alloys, and colour (Dark Knight)
Handles well for a larger car (previously had a Leon FR Sport)
Lots of nice touches such as all heated/ventilated seats, large infotainment screen
and here are some initial negatives
No automatic handbrake option when the car is in park
Cable needed for Android auto connectivity (most manufacturers this is bluetooth now)
Only 1 USB port in the centre console with too many 12v ports
Annoying recurring confirmation screen on infotainment system at start up (Is there a way to disable this)
I can't seem to permanently disable the lane warning system. Is this possible?
I need to find out what the Mode button does on the steering wheel? It brings up a screen I'm not sure about. If anyone can explain that would be great. Also, some options such as Bluelink give me a 'refer to manufacturer message'? If anyone has any setup tips/tricks to offer on the car that would be great.
