Ok YouTube....if this is what you think SMALL means I have no faith in you.

THESE ARE HUGE Where are the small cars going like Fiat and Picanto??? I wish Australia had those lil Japanese KCars. That's what I consider fun and small

Kona only got 4 stars by 1 point, had it not had that single point it would have been a 3 star! Only 80% adult occupant protection and very poor just 64% vulnerable road users! Funny the ones people still laugh at, you know the Chinese cars are now getting full well deserved 5 stars!

Hyundai I30 was a terrible car for me...fuel guzzler and an electronic fautly brake.

[gregb]

VW, yeah, some of the worst reliability on average. Thanks, but not thanks. I will stick to the boring but very reliable Japanese brands!

[morpmorpt]

VW golf/polo have more expensive fuel...not the standard fuel.
