Overall reliability

Stylish city car

Only 600 miles covered so far but the car feels nice to drive has a feeling of quality. Interior looks good and very hardwearing worth paying extra for the best upholstery. Is an excellent stylish city car with superb manoeuvrability and has small turning circle. 4 cylinder engine pulls very well and is smooth and quiet averaging about 30 mpg. Automatic gearbox is very good; I am always in the right gear. Engine feels lively for 1.25litre but not a sports car. No seat covers available from Kia which is rather disappointing. Boot is small but seats break down easily creating a lot more space. Could it be improved? Yes, with 2litre engine and 6 speed gearbox.
