we're buying on 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

Excellent, well-made review!

the corgi gets a like

Thank you, Sir. Looking around at hire cars available in Cyprus next year and wanted to see what this thing was. I think it will do us nicely.

just bought one. 2022 gt-line dct7 23k on the road ex demo model. collect it in 2 weeks time metallic blue

Is the tiger grille a functional one with actual holes or just for design?

Meglio questa o la t-roc usata del 2021?

OK I'm a bit confused, I saw one in our companies car park today, but it had the new KIA "badge", and the grill looked slightly different, all the '2022' ones in this video though have the old Badge. How can there be 2 different 2022 models ?

I just ordered a kia stonic on mobility yesterday

Great review! I test drove this car and agree it's a great all rounder but downsides for us was no rear air vents and the boot lip was quite high which made it hard loading pram and other stuff. Also the acceleration was a little jerky but that maybe because I wasnt used to DCT. Overall this model would have been a great option if we didn't have a kid.

Luckily we don't get the DCT option here in the Philippines! 😅 We only have a 5-Speed Manual and a 6-Speed Automatic Transmission.

I have just ordered a red kia stonic

I'm upgrading my rio to this

Is the kia stonic a good car

In the UK we get the GT-Line S which has a height adjustable boot floor to give a level loading area with a "secret" compartment underneath); but we're special in the UK so deserve a bit more than the Aussies 😆

People in the UK are definitely 'special', totally agreed.

That's the car I have just ordered on mobility

Trying really hard to convince the other half to get this one. The main problem I got, she's rather small and is only 165 cm while I'm 185cm. I have a perfect view, she says she also has a good view but I don't believe her :)

Can’t be the ‘new’ model as it misses out on the new Kia safety kit which comes with the Cerato - along with the new badge! Premium price for old kit - no thanks

Inside does look similar with kia rio

Damn it Kia, I have waited for several months and it has already exceeded the estimated delivery date. I mean, seriously? When I get my Kia stonic sport, there will be a 2023 version of stonic. This is insane.

no blind spot and no active cruise eliminated this (and seltos) from my shopping list :(

I didn't understand. The car is good for small family? Have enough place in rear seat for three children?

Why doesn't it have the new kia logo?

Because it’s the old model and misses out on many of the new Kia safety features - the reason I gave it a miss

Why have the mainstream media still have not reviewed the mg3 more and more young people buying it but has yet to have a full review. Maybe time.??

New gen MG stuff is pretty good, but the MG3 is on an ancient platform that wasn’t that good when new - particularly in terms of crash safety. Just dont do it. If you want a cheap new car buy the Kia Picanto instead

I really dislike the Hyundai/Kia 7 speed dry clutch DCT - jerky at low speed and not that quick to change gear up or down the box - given how much slipping occurs, wouldn’t want to be the owner outside warranty… The CVT in the Seltos would be a much better solution for this car, and probably wouldn’t hurt economy numbers (unlike a TC transmission)

I bought Kia Sportage GT 2022 model with 7 speed dry clutch DCT and its very smooth and quick.

👍👍😀

That engine is way too underpowered for a CUV.

I like hard and scratchy. Keeps it real.

Subaru Impreza would be a better buy than the Kia Stonic, its 4640mm long vs 4140mm long even the Kia Cars to would be a better buy 4520mm long or Mazda2 sedan would we a better buy for a family its has a boot and is physically longer for roughly the same cost. Sometimes a practical sedan is way better than an overpriced smaller "SUV" which is baby sized compared to the Impreza and the Cerato.
