I like the Cee'd-a great car, but this looks a contender and shows the way Hyundai-Kia are heading:

I think it looks good and the Kia Cee'd is very much a Knickers underneath motor-very good indeed  :y

I like the Kia brand now-nothing like it used to be of old.  My best mate's Cee'd CRDi Sport SW is first class and he rates it better than the new Audis and the new Jaguar he had before it.

I've seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen the light.

Not a bad looking car, if its go as well as show......!!

My mate has a 57 plate Sorento and I am sorry but it is shit.

Dashboard made from the same plastic as pop bottles, smaller inside than the outside would lead you to believe......slow as hell (2.5 diesel) and not that good on the road handling wise at all.....

Just for people that want to be seen in a big car, instead of a good car.......

A good number of our farmer clients gave up with unreliable Freelanders and Discoveries and now run these, saying they are nearly as good, but far more reliable-plus much cheaper.

I like the Sorento, the new one looks even better.  I don't like the current Sportage, but the new one posted looks nice.

Dash plastics better than Omegas.

I had a look at the Kia website, as I will be changing in August.  A car that I have never thought about, quite like the look of the Soul, was thinking of the new Citroen C3 Picasso, may be I need to look around more, I really am out of touch with today's cars..... ::) ::)

C3 Picasso is being run as a long termer by Auto-Express; they previously ran a Soul too, and did a big group test on C3 Picasso, Daihatsu Materia, Toyota Urban Runner and Kia Soul.

They put C3 Picasso first.  I had a Materia and would not recommend one due to fuel economy and very low gearing.  Most of these are "Marmite" cars, but the C3 is the least offensive, even if a bit fussy on the styling details.
