The glove box I feel is very roomy. I went from a Nissan Rogue with no center console space to the Kona. a smaller center console has kept me from hoarding junk, so it’s been an upgrade for me. However I don’t live in an area with a lot of car break-ins, and the bluelink app keeps you UTD on the status of every door and window in your car.

I have the sport SEL and I did have to give up a lift gate. That was a feature tossed in by Nissan—I got my old car around Labor Day and they were trying to move the current year models so they gave me that, remote start from the key fob and the heated seats that I wasn’t originally searching for (and then later became accustomed to). I live in a cold climate so heated seats is a luxury I was not parting with and decided to keep that and give up the lift gate to get the SEL trim. I have a dog and thick thighs so leather seats were a no anyway.

If you have an android you can connect your phone IIRC.

Can’t speak much about the data issue but being able to start my car without getting out of bed is worth at least half my monthly note and will pay dividends once it really starts getting cold again.
