The car you’ll be taking your driving lessons in is a manual, 5 door Small SUV.

A 1.6 litre diesel, Kia Stonic 3

GETTING STARTED

This car is a great car to learn to drive in as it's very comfortable and will help you feel at home straight away. The seats, steering wheel and mirrors all adjust easily too so you’ll find a good, safe driving position with ease, whether big or small, short or tall.

The controls are light and easy to use making every movemenet smooth and pricise and the pedals arent too heavy either.

The Stonic has a tight turning circle too so reversing, parking in bays and parallel parks are all very easy manouevres.

ON THE MOVE

Due to the clear all round visibity, ease of control and comfort mentioned above, my Kia Stonic is a great car to take your driving lessons in and ideal for sitting your test too.

“One of the most agile small SUVs you can buy, responding surprisingly eagerly to steering inputs and staying upright through corners that would see a Capture or C3 Aircross tipping over onto it’s door handles”
