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.

Remember: A car having beeps and other noices is extreamly important! Abled people can't seem to understand it though. Most things that are made accessible end up not being actually kept as such because they are annoying for abled people. Or atleast a fuckton of things are that way. For a blind or a hard of hearing individual these things are extreamly important and it's very good car manufacturers are doing these things even if they don't originally mean to! *Cars aren't just driven by perfectly healthy people. Cars aren't just used solely by perfectly healthy people. Unfortunatly for abled people, family members and people with disabilities need cars and as families we need to purchase ones that can accomodate us. We can't make ourselves accomodate the car.* Rant over. _Context: my mother is blind-deaf by multiple proggressive illnesses since birth, can legally drive, but doesn't at the moment. This is just a small hinderance in terms of severe disabilities, but it makes her -and inturn my - life very, very difficult._

@@Im_a_Kevin Blindness is an individual thing and no two people see in the exact same way. It's also a scale and in this context I'm using it to describe a large pool of people with different conditions, illnesses and states of sight. My mother is mostly blind, but can still see enough to be a safe driver. She has never been at fault in accidents for example and has glasses. Still as a precaution because of her lack for hearing we like to have a passenger these days. For context she looses 80% of her hearing without the aids. Of course completely blind people cannot drive, but some people with a bad eyesight can still do so. For our family personally being able to drive in very important for several reasons. One of which is to be able to care for my grandmother and her property which is in the middle of nowhere. The area is vunerable with electricity, it's just forest and fields and you can't survive in the area without a car. Also if you read my comment in context, I don't refer to a completely blind person as a driver, but as a passenger or a stranger outside of the car while visually impaired people do and can drive with the appropriate safety features installed in a vehicle. I resently noticed that a new Kia Niro has the ability to beep on the outside when reversing just like trucks do. It wasn't a very loud noice, just enough to notice. A fantastic tool to signal people of the movements of the vehicle and it's an important safety feature. Pretty sure that some people just turn it off since it's an annoyance.

@@Jimmy_The_Goat Usually a term to describe people who don't have life altering illnesses or disabilities like blindness or deafness. Being paralysed is a form of disability.

Matt -- SUV stands for a small Utility Vehicle( not a big LR or Willys) for outdoor SPORTS loving people. The " S "in the SUV is for outdoor sporting activities (for sports loving people) -- NOT " sporty" as a sports car. Calling a vehicle with a 4x4 and high ground clearance Sporty is an oxymoron. A proper SUV should be able to carry a few surf boards and other paraphernalia, and able to drag a trailer loaded with jet Ski or an Inflatable boat along a beach-- The whole point of having a capable 4x4 system with increased ground clearance. That's what the original manufacturer, Suzuki meant when they marketed the first SUV. If a vehicle cannot pull a trailer loaded with a jet ski on a sandy beach, it ain't an SUV !. To do that a vehicle should have a differential lock and a LOW- Range transfer case. If a vehicle doesn't have differential lock, and a low- range transfer case -- it is NOT an SUV. I am shocked at the ignorance ( or cunning marketing ploy?) of all involved calling every hatchback with a slightly raised ride height an SUV.

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.
