Car reviews

Kia's latest entry into the medium car market effectively replaces the slow-selling Shuma II and improves in a number of areas over what's expected of a cheap Korean car. It's an all-new car with styling that has been designed to appeal to European tastes - but we'll let you make your own mind up on that one. Two of the biggest areas of improvement are that it's roomy and surprisingly refined to drive. A new generation of engines sees an improvement in emissions and economy too. It's an increasingly tempting package for the buyer who looks beyond the badge.
