  • This is the all-new Kia Stonic. Kia’s latest offering brings the traditional hatchback-style design as seen with most small SUVs, but can it compete in a market where there's so much competition? Watch my latest in-depth review video to find out!

    I would stop watching if Mat was to leave. Just like how I stopped watching Carbuyer. He’s the best!

    Best car reviews channel on youtube. I enjoy every video they make.

    Hello from Houston Texas! I happened onto your channel by chance and even though most of the models you review aren't available here in the United States, I find myself throughly enjoying it.
    First, your voice is very pleasant, not too shabby on the eyes, and I love your props and especially the
    Frenchie in this video. I do hope that some of the manufacturers import some of the cars shown here eventually. I will be a subscriber indeed. Many thanks! Cheers!

    Anyway, this one, is one more five star Mat Watson presentation.

  • @ericfoxprime

    This review helped me choose this car. Yes, the centre console is wobbly and shifting gears is jerky. But it's a fun ride none the less for a mild price!

  • @MrAdlingtonm
    @MrAdlingtonm 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have the 1.4 and I have to say its a bit underpowered, Im getting around 39 to 40mpg but the 1ltr 3 cldr was even worse, saying that the car is very comfortable to drive on a daily basis infotainment system is easy to use. All round its a comfortable car. Rear view mirror gets in the way quite a lot. There is a lip in the boot but do you want your luggage sliding out when you open the boot?

  • @robinho030
    @robinho030 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The car doesn't look that spectacular, but it's nice to drive and makes a good first impression from the inside. Gear shift is a problem in a lot of smaller cars, but here it's very easy, intuitive and smooth. I liked it from the beginning when I drove it.

  • @La-yt1wr
    @La-yt1wr 6 ปีที่แล้ว +148

    I’m guessing the reason why this car isn’t in the US because it might affect sales of the Kia Soul.

    • @NeoGee
      @NeoGee 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      And the Soul is rumored to be getting AWD for the 3rd gen that's coming late 2018/ early 2019.

    • @MaximilianvonPinneberg
      @MaximilianvonPinneberg 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The Soul is a poor selling car in UK.

  • @chrishart8548
    @chrishart8548 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Ive got the Gt line version of this right now doesn't have heated seats. But it seems to have a lithium battery in the boot so must be a sort of mild hybrid. It has a better screen. Its bigger and all the buttons are along the bottom. The boot is tiny really. And i dont think its any taller than a mk2 ford focus.

  • @MoAV15
    @MoAV15 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Would I choose the Kia Soul or Stonic? I would pick the Soul because it is bigger than the Stonic, its funky character and better to drive.

  • @dimitarganev7797
    @dimitarganev7797 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I bought 1.4 Manual and I am really content with it as well! It sits very well on the road.. I don't know about the touchscreen thought, mine works perfectly.. its fast and everything (I am usually quite picky about the touchscreens and response rates) however mine does not have NAV and I am using apple car play, it works very well with it.

    @HesteBremse 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Pretty Fresh and good looking. I particularly like how they added all these small details like the storage for sunglasses etc. - They were thinking how can we solve this while keeping the price fairly low. I would take this over a Citroen Cactus.

    • @stevenagy88

    I actually own this car, red body with a black roof and it’s great to drive. Only tiny complaint I have is with the placement of the cup holders, if you have a flask in there for example it can get in the way of the handbrake. Other than that’s I love it

    • @chrishart8548

    @tmsr 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    We just bought the Stonic 2 to replace a 2009 Mazda 3 Sport and despite is being effectively a base model I prefer it. Its cheap to run and insure, it drives nicely enough and whilst it might be a bit down on power over the Mazda it does the job, its got enough to confidently over take tractors on country roads or blast past people who think joining a dual carriageway at 30 mph is acceptable.
    The 2 has everything I wanted -DAB radio, Apple Car Play and cruise control, the rest I don't care about - haven't missed climate control or heated seats which are so over rated.
    Not a KIA fanboy either, first time I've considered one after years of being given them as courtesy cars from Mazda and hating the way they drove, this latest generation it much nicer.

    @kesavaali6190 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Did Matt even test out other models of the Kia Stinger Gt? That's a press car so a lot of people abuse the car when they drive it. I seen other Kia stinger owners did the same test on their car and the center console wasn't even shaken. They said it was solid like a rock. So maybe Matt may have gotten a defective model or it could be that it's a press car.
