I've had an 22EX for 18 months now. 9 Km per L (mountain driving) 4 wheel disc brakes a plus and the manual shifting is great fun for mountain driving. The car is plenty fast for the Pi. Handling is very good. No regrets (yet) for buying the car-suv. However the dealer service/mechanics are less than impressive, at least on the Queen island. Also, a good chance parts will need to be ordered from S. Korea. Keep receipts for all oil changes etc. They will try to void warranty. * Find a good mechanic for maintenance or repairs *
Hello po, greetings and belated Merry Christmas. Would just like to give some constructive criticism lang po, the review of the car is informative and well paced, prone lang po si host sa redundant words and phrases, baka ma improve po ito with the use of scripts if you haven't already, it's understandable na baka mabilisan lang yung turnaround ng videos and yung hiram ng units so more on improvs ang setup as opposed to a scripted review, so if that's the case then maybe an improvement lang sa style ni host, pero overall okay naman. I'm really interested sa Stonic, thanks for giving this car a review in 2023 as other reviews of the car are outdated. Ayun lang po, cheers! Subscribed for more content.
Absolutely! I find the size just right especially in the city 😁 GAC Gs4 looks appealing but I haven't gotten my hands on it yet 😅 Hopefully soon though! 😊🙏
@@TowpyTejano been thinking about that GAC GS4 in the past, actually there were 4 attractive subcompact / crossover in the market that I've been eyeing for. 😊
Just something I learned while trying to fix my personal car's tail lights which was something I also learned off RUclips 😅😂 Thanks for watching! Cheers! 😊
Thanks Sir! Personally, I liked the exact black and yellow look my unit had. The color matched the overall character of the car but it also made me a little bit conscious of my attire every time I’d bring the car out (BUT again though, it’s preference) 😂 If you prefer a more neutral style, go for all black. The white and black look also looks great on the Stonic 😊 I’d personally add a bit of a tint for my personal safety but I’m sure that comes standard… If I may suggest, best to check out Kia Otis Manila for options, they have all the available colors there for you to see which matches your vibe the best. Hope this helps! 😄
I'm planning on getting one, but then I heard the WR-V is arriving some time in August of this year. Should I wait for the WR-V or get the Stonic instead?
Really depends on needs and/or preference at the end of the day. If you need a new ride at this moment, I'd say go for the Stonic because of the value it brings. The WR-V looks promising and exciting but consider the element of time there. Personally, I've yet to get my hands on one so I have no review for you there just yet. 😅 An argument could be said about reliability on either brand but please do take into consideration maintenance and/or driving habits. Regardless of which brand you go with, after-sales service isn't an issue since both brands are also very accommodating on that aspect. But given that both cars are roughly the same size and/or configuration, you shouldn't be worried either way. Just be careful when you do have your car on the road. Just my two cents, hope it helps! 😊 Please don't forget to subscribe! 😊
@TTV108 I didn't expect that your reply would be so thorough lol. Anyway, thank you very much for your input, and based on your response, I think I'll wait for the wrv so I can make a more educated choice between the two. More power to your channel and keep up the good work 👏
Good question! I haven't tried Baguio yet so I have no direct answer for you 😅 But based on posts from other owners on social media, it is doable. Fuel economy performance might slightly change but a trip to Baguio is doable 😊
para sa akin hindi sya ganun ka fuel efficient dahil nakakakuha lang ako arounf 5-6km/L. pero sa XL7 ko naka 10-11 km/L ako same route lang cainta-bgc.
@@Gilgamesh439 parehas kasi meron boss. Sorry kasi malayo yung gas comp nila dalawa. Syempre nanibago lang. Mag kaiba sila ng hatak. Di naman ako mag kumento ng ganito kung di ko sila nagamit ng matagal. Haist…

@@iamshadowbanned699 Thank you! 😊
Wrv is not coming 😢
I would say it's a hatchback not a Cross over😢
kaya ba yan sa Baguio with 5 passengers?
Good question! I haven't tried Baguio yet so I have no direct answer for you 😅
But based on posts from other owners on social media, it is doable. Fuel economy performance might slightly change but a trip to Baguio is doable 😊
kahit anim pa sakay.
Kakasawa yang mga ganyan tanungan. Wigo nga nkakaakyat bagyo eh yan pa kaya saka depende rin sa driver yan.
kaya, tricycle nga pwede
hahaha kaya nga e@@Gilgamesh439
how bout the after sale of Kia stonic?
Have one. That can be a problem
Stonic vs Raize pls.
Hopefully soon! Please don't forget to subscribe! 😊🙏
I'm planning to buy a car soon I'm having hard time to choose which one is better raize or stonic. Fuel efficient and easy to drive. 😅😅😅
para sa akin hindi sya ganun ka fuel efficient dahil nakakakuha lang ako arounf 5-6km/L. pero sa XL7 ko naka 10-11 km/L ako same route lang cainta-bgc.
Ilang months mo na ba gamit? After ng first PMS magiging fuel efficient na yan
@@liamcabangcala7037 500km for 1 month. Ah after 1st pms ba boss hehe sige wait ko yan salamat sa info. :)
Agree on this ..
@@makersflyhalos lahat ata review ng stonic ganyan comment mo🤣 halatang lage nanunuod ng review ng kia stonic tapos lx7 user. 🤣
@@Gilgamesh439 parehas kasi meron boss. Sorry kasi malayo yung gas comp nila dalawa. Syempre nanibago lang. Mag kaiba sila ng hatak. Di naman ako mag kumento ng ganito kung di ko sila nagamit ng matagal. Haist…
Why is it that here in BOHOL the top-of-the-line Stonic cost 1,050,000?
Regional pricing.. In Zamboanga it cost 1060000
Probably due to shipping costs to bring there from ncr.
U need to buy in manila kc may patung nah yan na shipping fee bili ka sa manila then i landtrip mo ok
I thought I was listening to Gino Rufino 😂
Hahaha thanks! I appreciate it! 😊 I used to watch Jinno Rufino from his days at Basketball TV. A class act indeed 😁
@@TowpyTejano luv the review, new subscriber here 🤙
