    I wish I was in the market as I think Hyundai deserves to be rewarded for making this incredible series of N cars. The sedan is the one I'd choose, but all are great in their own right.

      All car manufacturers should do this.No excuse with modern tech.Plus--stock engines even in powerful cars are generating about 50% or less then they can handle.They race these in GT class and they have over 500 HP--twice as much--so a stock kona N floored all the time is only using about half of what it can handle.I just bought one of these and it is great.The wet DCT is perkier then an auto--but after 2 days i am use to the nuances of it.Toyota and honda should offer a 10 year 100k-I owned a honda crosstour for 10 years and not a hiccup ever in it.

    I just got a cyber grey kona n after many years of turbo subies. So far so good 👌🏼. Only thing I'm not that impressed with is the plastics on the outside. The little flares on the guards,a few parts on the bumper, they're kind of warped lookin or have low/uneven spots. Also the trim around the windows ain't that great either.

    You got an LSD, Just get a good set of snow tires and you're set. FWD are being used in heavy gravel/snow rally and they work. If that isn't a good enough evidence then idk... Most people here won't even encounter snow deeper than 2 inch with most roads plowed before they even go to work. I happen to be unfortunate to encounter an unplowed CT, USA highway during the winter in my 1995 toyota celica ST MANUAL 5 SPD. FWD no LSD, all season tires, and it's 26 yo stock suspension. I drove fine, you just gotta learn the skill to drive. For those that do have deep snow there are other options.

      I just bought one, have you seen the prices of any other cars? A GTI I can't find for under 50k, a Golf R for under 61k and that was pretty much my choices as the others don't hold a candle to the Kona N. Which I got for $38,699 way under MSRP and all I did was be nice and ask for what I wanted.

      A regular Kona is not even the same as a Kona N, the N is the only model that has 30% more rigidity than the regular Kona chassis. = not even comparing the same field.

    They're getting too expensive. I bought my I30N for $38k now they're fetching $50k.. I remember when $50k would get you a supercharged FGX XR8.. how times have changed. Has anyone else had a $15/hour pay rise ? I certainly haven't.
