2023 Kia Stonic Review: Dear Kia, I FORGIVE You.

- I used to hate the Kia Stonic. Why would you pay $5,000 dollars extra over a Kia Rio (a car it is BASED ON), for almost no benefit? Well, the Kia Rio is gone and the 2023 Kia Rio is all that is left.
So, being an affordable micro SUV, should you consider it? I mean, it's got a 7 year warranty, a turbo charged engine, funky styling and all for $32,000 for this top-spec GT-Line! So what's the catch? Well there are a few, so let's talk about that!

Hey there! Your channel seems to be fantastic, and I believe my futuristic thumbnail services could help enhance your videos even further. Would you be interested in learning more?
This is not a review, it’s just you disliking the car, not a review
I couldn't agree more. And what's with the fast take offs they do, who's drag racing in a Kia stonic... It's a good like engine for fuel consumption and it will get you from a to b.
Cmon guys the car is rubbish. I had one for two days driving in Tasmania. It was the worst two days of my life. I can honestly say the MG is a better car.
@@kbling2946 what do u think of the Mg zst 1.5 8 speed auto worth the money or is the 1.3 turbo any better?
I drive a Kia Stonic GT line, its my work car and I can tell you that what they are doing is just absolutely stupid. Car drives very nice, it has decent speed for a SUV like its class. Been very happy with it, so people who are looking into this car, do a test and dont listen to this. Maybe the car isnt that fast in the beginning because there are two well weighted guys in there;)
@@losarmanos7565 I’ll assume the car you had previously was 35 years old.
Have a 2019 pre-detune Rio GT-Line. Punchy little thing. Love it to bits. Would like a bit more ride height as where I’m local to, inclines are steep, and I do end up scraping the bottom a lot.
My car is the exact same colour and I LOVE IT!!!!....The rental companies kept buying them out and I had to have it shipped crossed country to get one. I live in NZ & WHITE reflects the heat much more in my opinion. LOVE my car & I get lots of compliments. My boyfriend who is 6ft 2was surprised at how far the front seats go back! I find this car is safer and more sturdy on the roads & motorways & I drive 'everywhere!'.....
I've got a solution for the lack luster performance drop the 1.6T from the Cerato gt sure it will cost a bit more but how much fun will that be
A good looking, cheap car with 7 year guarantee and warranty. Can't expect more and better for the price in today's market.
I reckon standard Kia Stonic is pretty good if you're on a budget and want a new car. Coming from someone that on a budget lol.
Hahahahahaha lol 😆 🤣 😂 "the mouth opening part...Oh Oooh" works every time!!
You hired a editor that does what he wants. 😂😂😂😂
What speed do you want from a one litre car that’s built to be a runabout
D**kheads need a Rangie!! I bet they both own 1…..🤷♂️🤦♂️
Friend, a little respect, to us who see you, it won't hurt you. And seriously. The way you judge things reduces you and not the car! Whoever wants buys it, whoever doesn't doesn't......
My sister has a Picanto gt line, she has her foot flat to the floor in the over taking lane and she still cannot over take cars.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You are forgetting that Aussies are all about SUV’s (for some reason) and don’t mind paying more money for 3.5 cm taller even if the rio is a better deal. But it’s dead anyway so eh.😅
just put it in menual mode tracion off sport mode and it'll be better
This review failed to recognise that this car wasn’t made for young rev-head males. It’s an easy to live with fuel efficient city car. Obviously your demographic only really want the Cerato. Did you really just review if so you could bag it?
Do you own one?
@@CarSaucewell, as a matter of fact, I actually do own one, big fella. I drive a 2023 KIA Stonic Sport, and I’ve had zero problems with it in terms of its speed and take off. When taking off in it, it actually takes off faster than most of the other cars of the road.
This review doesn’t do it justice, and after using the car for a few months now, I can say that it’s one of the most reliable, fuel efficient and top quality cars I’ve ever driven.
The original commenter is completely correct.
@@JonnyBoyOfficial you have a completely different drivetrain to the one tested… Sorry to upset you 😔
@@CarSauce it’s completely fine, it’s a really good car nonetheless, I’d definitely recommend re-reviewing but with a different perspective.
I understand that the takeoff speed is slower than a lot of other cars, but as a commercial vehicle, it really does outdo most other cars. Other than that, it gets me from A to B and I haven’t had any problems so far with it.
I drove a rental 1.4l one in Sydney. One of the worst cars I’ve driven. It’s very very bad even as a daily. Gutless on when merging and overtaking , brake is dangerously soft loaded with 5 adults on highway. Steering is numb and boddy roll is massive.
Why would you buy one of these over a base Mazda 3 or a CX3 Maxx?
NEVER! I had a CX3 straight after having one of these. Chalk and cheese.
What happened with the audio on this video?
so who is the top and who is the bottom

The Hyundai Venue is a better buy.. until Hyundai took away the manual active model
Mazda cx3 better in most aspects but I didn’t see this car in person but coz it’s Kia and the same price of Mazda I won’t even look at it
First half of this video is sarcasm. Lol
Licence plate says Italy. Noice.
We hired a KIA Stoned in Tassie recently. OMG, what a disaster.
It banged, cluncked and done our head in for two days before it threw a collision avoidance code and sh1t the tin. The auto changed gears about 20000 times , and that was just on the way out of the car rental car park. My wife and I found ourselves angry and depressed without knowing why. Well we realised what the problem was once we exchanged the Stone with a CX3. I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who actually purchased one. The car will be responsible for thousands of hidden deaths as owners will eventually throw a rope over a tree and kick the chair out.
Stoned 😂😂😂
Can't see these things lasting 7 years...🤔🤔🤔
This car is about as exciting as an empty cardboard box.
Hopefully we make it better 😢
Yep. Got one as a loaner. Piece of sh**.
@@Sam-tx1tn same! I couldn’t believe a manufacturer could make such rubbish in 2023.
I’ve hired a CX3 and even an MG, both cars were 1000% on this.
Can somebody remind these guys that Kia stonic is not meant to be the fastest car? Like duhhhhhh poor review 🥴🥴🥴🥴👎👎👎
Yes i love kia stonic,oct.28a was bougth new kia stonic lxmt yes its have good performance,very nice driving
