Kia Pride 1.3 LX 5d (1994/L) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Cheap as chips, cheap fuel. Not much spec but I don't buy cars for buttons and gadgets.
Costs
I paid about £150 two years ago.

On the road
Driving
Like a go kart. Huge fun from a front wheel drive with an engine that is really peaky and responsive.
Performance
Goes like stink and capable of 100mph. Gets there quick and shocks a lot of other drivers. Sooo much fun and cos of the cost it doesn't matter if you brake it, so I gave mine plenty of abuse and it just laughed at me.

Living with it
Reliability
First time, every time after plenty of abuse and no oils, so I was very impressed.
Image
Used as a work horse, so I didn't care. Looks are not great but the car is so solid that you don't care.
Comfort
I used mine for work where I got to sleep a lot, so slept in it loads. Quick flick handle and the drivers seat is a bed.
