CRDi 2

A much more refined car than its price suggests

I find the car a relaxing pleasure to drive. It is spacious, stylish and reasonably economical for its size. It's not the highest trim level for this model, but it has all the equipment and creature comforts that I require, and more.

If I had to choose one specially useful "goody" it would be the steering headlights (not swivelling lamps, but extra side-facing ones that come on when you turn the wheel). I've never had these before, and didn't realise just how much of a huge safety benefit they are.

Minus points? Well, the interior noise is a bit more noticeable than I would like, and the steering can sometimes be a little "fidgety", but these are both very minor complaints.

Also worth mentioning is the wonderful Kia 7-year warranty. And if you buy a Kia approved used car with less than 10k miles on it, they wind the warranty back to the beginning! That's what I call confidence in your product!

Overall, I love this car.

I cannot yet comment on the maintenance and repair costs, as I haven't had the car long enough.
