    1. I’m not judging you or telling you what to buy with your money. Everything I wrote is factual.
    2. The i20 is a smaller car than the i30. When I say the Kona is literally the same car as the i30 I mean literally the same car. Same size, same chassis, same interior, made in the same factory. It’s the same exact car except with one being taller and because of that height gets worse gas milage/more Co2.
    3. If you’re upset that someone wrote an article about your life choices, take it up with them. The authors name is at the top.

      1. That’s pretty much all you did.

      2. It’s not the same but, even if it was, why can’t I prefer a taller car? You are judging according to your preferences. If I had chosen a sedan you wouldn’t care. By the way, what do YOU drive. I bet it has a bigger engine than mine, yet here you are.

      3. I answered a comment, not the article. I’m actually inclined to agree with the article. You’re the one that felt the need to pick up a fight from your own high horse. Just because I reminded someone not all SUV’s are huge trucks with huge engines. How dare I prefer something your excellency finds not due if thy approval.

      And regarding the i30 and the Kona, you have no clue what you’re talking about. I actually took my time to pick that car. They both use the same platform, yes, but that’s it (obviously, they share some of the same equipment) . The Kona was supposed to be a crossover version of the i20 but they used the bigger platform to accommodate the electric version. That was way before they came up with the Bayon.

      I never considered the i30 because it was out of my price range. Yeah, price is a factor buddy. Yes, the Kona was considerably cheaper than the i30. I was actually debating between the Kona and the Citroën C3. They had similar prices. But I wanted a larger car so the Kona was a no brainer. I basically got something like an i30 for the price of an i20 and boy am I happy.

      So, with the dilemma of having the car I needed or your approval, well…how hard could it be. So, get a life.
