2024 Kia Stonic 1.0 T-GDi Hybrid Manual 5-door Hatchback

Description

I’ve had this 2024 Kia Stonic for a couple of years now, and it’s honestly one of the most practical cars I’ve ever owned. Only 3,990 miles on it — still feels like new, even though it’s been through a few seasons of winter and summer.

It’s a single-owner car, so it’s kept really clean and well-maintained. The 1.0-litre petrol-electric hybrid runs smoothly, and I’ve noticed it gets around 50 miles per gallon — which is wild for a small hatchback. The Shadow trim has a few nice bits: rear parking sensors (huge for tight spaces), smart key with start/stop button, heated front seats and steering wheel. That last bit is a game-changer when it’s cold outside.

I use it daily for commuting and short trips, and it’s been a real joy. The CO2 emissions are low, and insurance is actually quite affordable — not something you get with most small cars. Bluetooth and music streaming work perfectly, so I can listen to my playlists without needing a phone on the dash.

I’m moving to Anstey, Charnwood, so I’m passing it on. It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable, efficient, and has been a real lifesaver for my commute. Parking sensors and safety belt pretensioners are both still working great.

If you're looking for something practical, low-maintenance, and actually runs well — this one’s a solid pick. I’ve been very happy with it, and I’m happy to pass it on.

(Price is £16,555.50 — just a note, not a selling point.)
