I saw today that the International car show awarded the Hyundai Kona as the best new small compact SUV in the show. It also got a great review from J D Power a few months ago. This is rather impressive, it looks like a fun SUV to drive, especially in the Winter.

Has anyone out there bought one that would give us there option on the Hyundai Kona?  I am rather enthusiastic about it because you can get a turbo version of it, the other small SUVs on the market seem a bit under powered.

All opinions are welcome  :)

Saw it on the news today too and was pleasantly surprised.

I see quite a few of them on the road and they look pretty good in funky colours.

Uh, which international car show ? There's a lot of them.

FWIW, the Volvo XC40 won the European Car of the Year in 2018.

I see a lot of these around. Looks like a hit, at least locally.

I don't mind the look of them really.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
