Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Good pre reg deal... with offcourse delivery miles i.e 43 miles

What was the dealer like?

Good but hard selling type...

What's it like to drive?

Powerful and nippy. Very quick and easy to control. Excellent smooth drive.

What's it like to park?

I have Honda Jazz at home which is amazingly easy as compared to Kia. The styling (which is good) affects your view of rear but cant complain. Its fairly easy to park once you get used to it.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yes ... since the day one car has definite tendency towards left. I thought this is just my imagination initially then after driving for 750 miles couldn't take it any more. I have to constantly keep correcting the steering to keep vehicle in straight line. Apparently many ceeds seem to have this problem.

What's most practical about your car?

Comfortable ... well built and neatly laid out controls and interiors. Dash board is fantastic.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruise control is brilliant as well as the stereo system is awesome.
