Great review of the Kia Stonic! I personally find the exterior styling to be extremely attractive looking... Offering a very sporty and athletic style. I appreciate the rugged plastic cladding splashed all throughout the exterior, the strong chracter lines, and the more uniquely styled "Kia Tiger Nose Grille". The interior also boasts a blast of youthful & spunky aspects by adding color inserts... All working together to make the interior less bland, and more "eye popping" in its overall appearance! I cannot wait to review the all-new Stonic, as well. From one car reviewer to another, keep up the great work!
You beat all your competition getting that review out, nice one. Another great car from KIA. So impressed by them these days and as someone that likes to keep his cars a while, that 7 year warranty is epic.
why in this day and age are they still knocking out manual gearboxes ? with everything going electric eventually it's seems the manual gearbox belongs with the model T not cars in 2017
UK buyers particularly love manuals. Seems to be a cultural thing. If you look at more premium brands, though, automatics are more often than not standard items now, especially as most give better economy and performance figures.
always remember my older brother saying to me " what do i need a mobile phone for when i have a phone at home and a phone box on every street corner ? " manual gearboxes are oldie worldie in 5 years time with electric becoming more common our left foot i fear will become redundant... Driver's seat might consider doing a video on the subject.. you could call it " will my left foot get fat if i go auto ?"
why? well... may be because some of the people like to have their engine power delivered when they want and in the way they want... which - unlike the automatic or, even worse, electro-hydraulic "robotized" gearboxes - can be done with a good old manual... ;) though... nhf, but since you had to ask, I kind of doubt you can understand ...:) ;)
Driver's Seat - its made in the same way as a big box item (fridge) to last 10 years and then dispose of and replace it. All modern cars have very little to distinguish them to make them different. They are mostly reliable with all same features and pan out at near 120mph and 0-60 in approx 10 sec. there’s no fun in car ownership or driving when you buy one of these.

That's very kind of you to say. Look forward to seeing your thoughts on the new Stonic

Many thanks. They really have moved on as a brand and agree that the warranty is epic.
Great Video Review. The New Kia Stonic Is a welcome addition to the Range and I look forward to spotting some on the Road
Jamie Pickles thanks Jamie. It should turn heads.
That's Astonicing!
Finally, a nice style. Can it fit tall people though? Otherwise I will have to stick with American vehicles.
To pricey for my liking also the Kia dealer network is to thin on the ground

roblex63 you’re probably right. We’ll source some Slim Fast exercises for overweight left legs.

... And it seems he was right; you didn't understand. A/T is comfort, M/T is control. People are different.
Stonic is mini suv
I couldn't buy a car called a Stonic....sorry. Looks nice though.
If only it was a-stonic-hing
Andrew Jenkinson it sounds really nice to me thought..
C3 Aircross cost less, offers more clever features and is way better looking.
Cromoart Comunicação And breaks down after 3 months.

DOK So you must drive the winged Pegasus? How’s that for parking?
