    My 29 year old daughter keeps making veiled comments about wanting it! Another family member is thinking of trading their Volvo for one.

    I might trade up to a KX3 but I am not all that bothered, because I am happy with this one.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Hopefully that will be some years away, but the warranty, etc would make me think seriously about a Kia.
