Hey guys, I'm currently waiting on my Mach-E. It's not scheduled to be built until the last week of April and I'm getting pretty impatient. I had some free time today and decided to test drive a 2021 Kona EV Ultimate in case I decided to jump ship. I was pretty impressed, but then again any car is an upgrade to the one I have now. The only issue I have with the Kona is the small cargo space. I'm not quite sure it would even carry my golf bag without having to fold down the seats. Any one out there with experience with the Kona? I've been a solid Ford guy since I got my license at 16.
I am a current Kona owner thinking about the MME. Funny.. Maybe we should swap! :)

The Kona is ok, but it's not as refined of a car as the MME. It's also smaller (back seat is really cramped). Driving is pretty decent, but acceleration is less than the MME. It's also noisier (noticeably so).
Electronics and Carplay etc. are working really well. Little to no issues there. The phone app though is a disaster. Doesn't work half of the time and it takes > 1 min for the car to respond. But I think that same problem exists across all of Hyundai's cars as they're all on the same platform.
