Great review - very thorough and explained everything you would want to know. I ordered one of these in May from UK. Still not built yet. We wanted the bigger boot space.
we're buying one these. i test drove the gt-line dct7 today. wow what an awesome little car to drive. you have to be in sport mode though. probably the best small car i've ever driven. simply superb
thanks for the honest & straight-forward review! loved being able to see all the bits & bobs inside as well as the sunroof. i'm currently awaiting for mine to arrive to my local Kia & watching this helped confirm for me i definitely made the right decision on choosing this little gem. cannot WAIT to finally have it in my possesion!🤗
@@isaachunt5799 sure did! love it! my ONLY gripe with it is the driving mode (there are 3, Eco, Normal & Sport) defaults to Eco each time the car is turned off/on. for me i like to get in & go, so it took awhile for me to remember to switch to the driving mode i preferred which is the Sport mode (easily done with push of a button) every time i go to drive off. other than that it's perfect & i'm so glad i got one!
@@51aTawa cheers. yeah in eco mode it's hard to drive. but in sports mode wow it picks up like a diesel. we collect ours on friday. 2022 gt-line dct7 mild hybrid. bit different to my 2017 camaro 2ss lol
Hi Cameron. Thanks for this review, but I see this was 2 years ago. I live in South Africa and my daughter works in Perth. She is looking for a small suv. What would you suggest to buy now 2023? She likes the T Roc, Puma and the Sonic. What is the best small Suv to buy now?
Thanks for the comment! To be honest, the Stonic is still a solid choice. I'd personally pick the T-Roc, but servicing costs can be a little higher than the Kia's (plus Kia has that 7 year warranty). Wouldn't pick the Puma as it's getting a little older and I found it's gearbox to be a little rough around town.
@@ProductReviewCars I live in a rural town and find the Stonic is actually a great little car for longer trips. On trips down to Melbourne (approx 110km away) the fuel economy is pretty good too with fuel consumption getting down to as little as 4.7l/100k. 👍 On other longer (and higher speed ) trips the economy sits around 5.3l/100k mark or perhaps a touch more depending on how many hills are about...

I moved from Sydney to Queenstown NZ in 2015. Nice to see some Balmain images again...
Thank you for this review, I'm actually getting a Kia Stonic GT-Line in a few weeks so I found your review pretty useful.
Cheers!

simply superb
Just wish it had that smidge more power.
@@ProductReviewCars the one i am buying is 120 ps mild hybrid and i thought was perfect for the car.
i can imagine the 100ps one to bit underpowered.

Hope this will be available in the Philippines 😢
Is that the perennial gray? Thanks
It's storm grey
I'm waiting for mine I ordered same colour with black roof GT line S.
Mate 17 inch wheels get it right at 0:58 you can see the 17 on the wheels, not 18 inch
Addressed in another comment already.
you said its 18inch alloys (0:55), clearly the image says 205/55 R17 i.e. 17 inch

Storm grey and wheels are 17"
i think those rims maybe 17 not 18 going by the video of the tyre shown
You’re 100% right. Only realised after upload, but didn’t think it warranted a massive correction.
Nice review 👌just order one I think it will be a good car as I am retiring from work and the price and warranty is to good to miss 😀
Thank you and thanks for watching! It's a good run around, and definitely good for the long term. Enjoy! - Cameron
Im from israel . Thanks for the video. I ordered it .i hope safety function is good enough cause you didnt talk about it :-)
Nice! Thanks for watching.
Can I ask does Kia stonic is okay to drive through the rural area to city. Thanks
It's alright. Drives more like a hatchback than a SUV. Should be fine to drive on longer trips.
@@ProductReviewCars Thank you!
