2020 Kia Stonic 1.0 T-GDi 2 Euro 6 (s/s) 5dr Hatchback Petrol Manual

Description

So, I’ve been driving this 2020 Kia Stonic for a bit now, and honestly, it’s been a solid little car — not flashy, but gets the job done. It’s a manual, 5-door hatchback with 1.0 T-GDi engine, Euro 6 compliant, and runs on petrol. The wheels are 17-inch alloys, and it’s got a 7-inch screen with DAB-RDS and MP3 support — I use Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, both with voice control, so I can keep my hands on the wheel most of the time.

Inside, it’s quite tidy: 60-40 split folding second-row seats, leather-trimmed steering wheel, cupholders, storage bins, and even a centre armrest. The climate control works well, and the seats are adjustable — front ones even have height controls. I’ve got front and rear parking sensors, a rear spoiler with brake light, and LED daytime running lights. The mirrors are electric and fold, and they have LED indicators.

Safety-wise, it has ABS with EBD and BAS, electronic stability control, airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, and even an impact-sensing auto-unlock feature. There’s a driver’s sun visor with mirror and a little vanity light — small things, but useful.

I bought it from BS Marson & Sons in Kelso, Scottish Borders — they’ve been around since 1952, and it’s a family-run dealership with three generations of staff. They’ve got a real history with Fiat, and I’ve seen how they treat customers — warm, personal, and thorough. They do full MOTs, diagnostics, and repairs, and I’ve had them handle a few bits when things didn’t feel right.

The car’s been well looked after, with regular servicing, and I’ve kept it clean and in good condition. It’s not a luxury car, but it’s reliable, easy to drive, and fits in a normal family garage.

It’s worth noting it’s a used car, so it’s not brand-new, and the original warranty has expired. That said, BS Marson offers a 3-month warranty on all used vehicles they sell, which I’ve been happy with.

I’ve been driving it around Kelso and the surrounding areas — not too far, just local trips and commutes. It’s a practical car for daily use, and I’m happy with how it handles.

If you’re looking for a no-frills, reliable hatchback that doesn’t cost a fortune, this one might be worth a look. Just be aware it’s not a flashy car — but it’s quiet, steady, and gets you where you need to go without fuss.

If you’d like to see it in person, I can point you to the dealership in Kelso. No pressure, just a real, honest piece of kit.

P.S. I’m not selling it to anyone who wants a flashy ride — this one’s for people who value practicality over looks.
