if kia are putting as much money and time into their cars as they are into their adverts, i should imagine they're really good cars

the cee'd really looks quite good on the adverts

All seems ok, not a bad car overall, efficient etc, but not a car you could love & be proud of, no soul or character. If i did'nt love cars & just wanted a commute/shop a to b then i might well buy one but i would'nt shout about it.

Isn't it strange that, once one gets to a certain age, a kia cee'd diesel actually seems a viable alternative to a car?

Almost as much as a seven day Shearings coach trip to the Rheinlands is an alternative to a holiday.  ;D

lol.......and the preverbial tartan blanket, cushions and box of tissues appear on the rear parcel shelf ?! :D :D ;D ;D  youve reached that 'certain age' - lol  ;D
But hey, dont laugh, but i am getting letters from SAGA........aaaarrrggggghhhhhhhhh

if its value for money motoring that you are after then i don't think you can go wrong with this....

Reading through the review leaves me with the impression that Kia are really trying to make a statement with this car, if it wasn't for the fact that i like driving  then i might have been interested myself

Hi
I needed to hire a car a couple of months ago for work, and when the guy turned up he had brought a Kia Cee'd 1.6 diesel. My initial reaction was ' i'm not driving that piece of cr*p ' but i have to say i was very suprised. It had every gadget i could want in a car, nice comfy drive and suprisingly quick. I hire quite a lot of cars for work to use for a few days and the kia is far better in my opnion than any astra/peugot 308 crap they usually turn up with.
i would say go for it

I think the thing to be aware of is that depreciation will be savage on it, so you'll be looking to keep it for a while I guess...
