Its 1 month here in Islamabad, and till last week two dealerships had a white Stonic available for ready delivery.

Save money, buy a Swift fully loaded!

[musavenom]

Not impressed with Swift’s interior quality and I think it’s way overpriced for 4 million rupees.

[NASRUM]

Few months back we had sportage Alpha for 4.4 million now we have swift.

dont wait to buy a Legendary Alto on same price

[saadafaq]

Any actual stonic owners here? Surprisingly 600+ posts yet no real personal experiences shared

[zuhairzahidz]

So.. I actually bought stonic keeping in view the current situation . Previoulsy it had difference of approx 6-7 lakhs in comparison to top varient Yaris/City and priced even higher then Corolla Altis etc.. so people were not interested..niether did i....But look at now...current top model swift is available above 41,42 Even after price reductions and Honda City aspire is in same price range....so i prefered stonic...n honeslty after driving few thousand miles...i actually like it alot and rate it quite high then City and yaris

[zuhairzahidz]

Yes i am....Happy Stonic customer.

Pros:
Great Ride Quality and Suspension niether too hard nor too soft.( You may say in between Corolla and Civic)
Lot of small little features that make your life easy etc.
Build Quality is better than Honda and Toyota.
Good Quality Comfortable seats
Nice fuel average

Cons:

Initial acceleration response from Stop-Go is not so great for 1,2 Seconds.
Back Seats Design has curves and hump which make it difficult for 3 Adults to sit on Long route.it should be better.

True
Stonic is very fun to drive
I'm using it myself
Great car

[zubair.ah]

How does it fare on motorways at 120+ speeds?

[zuhairzahidz]

found it in comparison to any big sedan .. very stable and soundless.

[ussi]

Sir its very very stable and smooth
I'll just post a comparison
I have grande and stonic both

[ussi]

So guys
After driving Stonic for two three month here is a short review

Pros
Great built quality
Drive is very smooth
Gearbox is smooth
Ac is good
Pick is good considering its only 100hp
Stable drive
Very less body roll
Seat are way too comfortable than corolla
Packed with features
Impressive looks

Cons
Expensive parts
Autowipers would have been included
Suspension is good but grande drives better on bumpy roads

I'm also using grande but to be honest
Grande wins in pick, space cheap parts thats all
Rest i would love to drive stonic all day its drive is very fun unlike corolla's drive

Got Stonic as a city car, great so far.

For all the owners out there, its mentioned in various reviews that Stonic has wireless Apple Car Play and Android Auto, I can't seem to figure out wireless car play, any guidance?

Connect via bluetooth

[pwuser16503952609]

So i hv just travelled on stonic to Babusar top n honestly i really liked it...the high speed stability on motorway even at 150 was very good...hilly roads handling was such a delight effortless manoeuvering...not as comfortable soft as corrola but better than civic city..feels it should be 1-1.5 inch more higher...
The practicality of the boot space is marvelous as it is almost a rectangle and can fit 3 -4 medium sized bags easily or in standing position when you take off the lid.
100 percent value for money in todays time

P s i travelled with 4 adults

[pwuser16503952609]

Conect via bluetooth

[waqassonic]

I am aware of bluetooth connectivity, bluetooth connectivity is not the same as Apple Car Play/Android Auto.

[fastian04]

There is only wired carplay connectivity in Stonic

Just got the car yesterday. It was readily available. So far, so good. Loving the drive. Although the cabin is compromised.
