Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

There’s an overwhelming reason why this car is gaining such a bad reputation. Its not “moaning”, its stating the obvious about this car. Many of the KIA Driver Safety Aids don’t work properly and in most cases do the reverse of their intended purpose. They make the car a danger and make your driving unsafe with other road users. Yes, all new cars have similar systems built-in, but in general with these other makes, they tend to work in the manner intended to improve overall safety on the road. Without wanting to state what i do for a living, i’m very experienced and exposed to many makes amd models of new cars within the UK market. Clearly KIA has got some things seriously wrong in their design and the way this car reacts in certain situations. The design and development of the KIA Driving Aids are too much in their infancy and clearly haven’t been tested property on the roads. I wouldn’t recommend this car at all, there’s a lot more work to be done before they should release it on the market.
