Seat Arona 1.0 vs Kia Stonic 1.0T
25 Apr 2019  |  Kia Reviews
The Seat Arona may be a little more spacious, a little sleeker and a little more refined but the Kia Stonic is nearly $14,000 lighter on your wallet.

Review
I had no intention of buying a new car as my COE car still had 4 years more to go. However, once I clapped eyes on the Stonic at the 2019 Motorshow, I was won over by its looks and feature-packed interior then when I saw the price, I was even more tempted. The next day, I went down to the Kia showroom at Alexandra and test drove the car. The drive was so much fun! Totally changed my perspective of Kia. I was grinning during the test drive! This car had real punch and darts around corners nicely. Overtaking is an ease on the expressways compared to regular 1.6L NA cars. Best of all, it is a FUN car to drive and will add some zest to your daily commute.

Before I made my decision, I compared similar models like the SEAT Ibiza, Honda Jazz, Suzuki Swift but the Kia Stonic won me over with its looks, features and drive experience and not to mention the dealer support and warranty coverage from C&C. Plus, my wife love the looks of this car too! I booked my car the following week and I am super excited to collect it!

What I like
1. The funky crossover looks and functional interior
2. The attractive price for the number of features you get: 6 airbags, Hill Start Assist, Torque Vectoring, ESC, , Auto Headlight, Apple CarPlay
3. Fun to drive!

What I do not like
Rear seat space could be improved for carrying 3 passengers

Review
For those who visited the Car Show held at the Suntec City Convention Centre, you would have seen the amazing deals that Cycle Carriage can give. Was walking around near the Mini Cooper Booth and saw the price of the car from a distance. Was immediately drawn to the car. Went to see the base model as well as the sunroof model. For those who would like to purchase a Stonic, please purchase the sunroof edition. It is really worth the extra 2k.

What I like
Sporty Outlook
Strong Power Output for a small CC Car
DASHBOARD Cluster really shows the effort put in to design the car

What I do not like
The car is really cramped especially at the back.
The car may be well built and pleasing to the eye, however, the company's reliability is dubious.

Review
I went down to test drive the car EX mode on 29th Dec. It was placed right at the entrance of the showroom, guess it is the new baby in town. It looks good, no doubt. It looks sporty, young, makes you want to own it. After going through the exterior and interior, i requested the test drive. Oh...Boy, it didn't disappoint. It is only 1000cc but it has the power to move fast. I am driving a 1.6l japan model and stonic is the better one. Very tempted to book one, but my current ride has 4 years to go and decided to hold back. The best part is the price. A whole more than 10k cheaper than vezel. Yes, it is smaller at the back boot, but hey, most of the time our back boot is empty. The weekly visit to supermarket is good enough. It is quiet inside and has the solid feel of European car. To add the icing on the cake, it is from C&C with 10 years engine warranty.

What I like
1, the price, a good more than 10k cheaper than japan counterpart.
2, the look, it pleases the eyes.
3, the quality, it feels solid.
4, the drive, no lagging at all because of the turbo.
5, from the C&C, easy of mind.

What I do not like
not much really.
