One choice is Hyundai Kona Sel Plus...I am trying to read my way thru reviews, specs, etc.  The other car I am considering is the Buick Encore.

Anybody have either one of these vehicles and your likes or dislikes, thanks!

The Kona gets great reviews....I had thought about it, too. I am interested if anyone posts with info about the Kona....

@Mom2Dogs I have a Kona which is about 6 months old - funny thing is because of virus shutdowns in Washington State I have not put many miles on it but I love it as it is easy to drive, comfortable & has lots of safety features.

@colleena   The inside is interesting...I like the combo of colors they use.  I need to drive both vehicles.  I was sure I was going to purchase the Encore but the reviews were not great.

I have a 2016 Tucson and love it. Highly recommend an SUV and also the Hyundai brand.

@Mom2Dogs Definitely recommend taking a test drive - I don't think you will be sorry.

Our Hyndai dealer had lots of credit options available plus some additional takeaways so we took advantage of those and once we knew we were keeping it, we paid it off.

My last car was a '96 Camry so this has all the updated safety issues - I have some depth perception issues so when turning onto a busy road or freeway the car has an alert for blindspot issues which has been really helpful.

When everything is settled down with me and I go back home, I am thinking getting the Fiat 500.

We bought 2 new (2018) cars during the pandemic from our local Toyota dealer we got great cars for great prices.

I've looked at the Kona online, but I haven't seen any driven around here.  Last year I was in a Target parking lot and we parked next to one.  I was so embarrased because the driver came up to me as I walked around to check it out.  🤣 I explained that I had been looking at the Kona online and this was the first time I had seen one in real life.  She laughed and told me it was a rental car and to go ahead and take a look at the inside.  She said she liked driving it and would consider purchasing one.
