Bare is actually good for some people. Less gadgets, less expensive repairs in the future. The Kona actually is not that bare. Based on their website, it even has DRL and push button start which for some strange reason, some people have a real raging hard-on with those.
But then again, Hyundai has a reputation for scrimping in safety features... At least the Kona has 2 airbags.

June 6th, 2019 03:16 AM #27Not bad narin. Meron steering wheel control, cruise control, sport, normal and eco mode, push start, DRL, bluetooth, etc. Nakalimutan ko na yung iba. Ang bare lang talaga ng headunit. For 998k, I am really considering this. Kasi sa price na ganun ang mabibili ko lang for that price na ka segment niya is Xpander, Rush at BRV.
Baka benta ko na yung BMW kasi sakit ba sa bulsa ng parts at maintenance. Gusto ko rin na try mag Korean. Kasi gusto ko ng kotse na BMW performance, pero Toyota ang tibay. Tingin ko yung mga bagong Hyundai at Kia ganun. Kaya dream ko rin talaga ang Kia Stinger GT. Feel ko yun na yun fits the bill.
Tipid na tipid talaga pag naka ECO. Sobrang bilis naman pag baka Sports mode. I wish may 1. 6 Turbo dito, pero if meron, tingin ko 2.0 parin kukunin ko kasi less moving parts mas matibay. Ok rin yung unli mileage na 5 year warranty. I was also considering Vitara, pero may lumabas na na bago abroad so di ko na trip. Juke rin pala, ok sana kasi Japan CBU pero the style is not for me, at pinalitan na siya ng Kicks. Ok rin Jimny pero for me pang third car kasi yun at ang haba pa ng waiting list. Halos lahat rin ng reviews sa Youtube about sa Kona puro positive. Dami rin niya awards like #1 subcompact SUV. Talo Soul, CX3, CHR, HRV, Subaru Crosstek, etc. Although based yun sa 1.6 Turbo na di naman lumabas dito.
Ecosport rin pala ka segment at ka price nun. Pero sabi ng friend ko sarap daw sunugin kasi laging may sira. Hahaha! Tsaka mahal ng pyesa nun. Nakasabay ko EcoSport magpagawa ng aircon at palit compressor. Yung BMW 50k inabot, yung EcoSport 40k.
Ang ayoko lang sa Kona medyo matagtag siya. Sedan parin talaga siya. Pero halos lahat naman siguro ng ganun size at segment matagtag.
Check mo rin yung last gen ng Forester. Alam ko may fire sale kasi may bagong model na.

You may want to add the KIA Soul to your list
Considerations:
1. Budget is 1M ( 1.1M max)- Base model is 995K
2. Reliable and Fuel efficient - 1.6L VGT CRDi Diesel 128 hp * 4,000 rpm, 300 Nm * 1,750 rpm
3. At least 185mm ground clearance - only 160mm but light to drive, kind of like a sedan.
4. Easy to find parts - 5 year warranty or 160,000 Kms.
6. Can fit at least 4 people comfortably although I will be alone driving 80% of the time. Very roomy inside, you'd be surprised.
7. Has a large boot/rear storage capacity with 2nd row seats folded. If it can fit a 65" TV in a box thats great. -Rear folding seats, the rear boot sinks down so items don't slide out on their own.
8. No Rush/Expander types[emoji3] Totally agree with you here, avoid the headaches.
9. Comfortable to drive - Test drove one and it was like a roomier Jimny. Power steering is standard.
Just as suggestion because I had shortlisted this before I fell in love with it's elder sister, the Sporty.
Good hunting. Drive safe.

Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
