• Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Man with three kids that need to be delivered to school whilst not sitting next to each other.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Great, especially the tinted windows black with black paint work!!

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes, good price and lots of room.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Another one but with slightly better fuel consumption. Hopefully in a few years Kia will bring out a more fuel / green engine. The diesel does not perform as the book predicts, perhaps no surprise but we would have expected a bit more from the diesel around town. This is the only negative we have about the car and the fact the removable seats are both heavy and sometimes hard to refit. It also doesn't have some of the nice features that other MPV's have such as air temperature and radio/CD on a stick, these are minor niggles but not a real drama.
