Being a very happy Ceed owner when we changed one of our cars 2 years ago another Kia was high on the list. We wanted a petrol but we still wanted a car with decent perforance and economy. Tried a 1.6 Ceed, too slow so thought about a 1.6 Rio, smaller car but with the same engine should be bette. Unfortunately they do not sell them in the UK so that was it.
As for the car itself it was fine. Only comments I would make are the poor rear visibilty (we could have lived with it) and the less than perfect rear access (again we could have lived with it.).
Have to say Kia do appear to have an issue selling cars with modern petrol engines (decent diesels though). Compared to other main stream manufacturers they have fallen well behind, such a shame after all the good work they have done to become a well established brand.
