KIA Cee'd - feedback on reliability of high mileage ceed / i30 21 Nov 2015 (Forum)
These issues seem to equally affect petrol or diesel models. So I am wondering whether it makes sense to go for the diesel model, despite my low annual use, to take advantage of; a) higher fuel economy b) lower car tax. Another point worth mentioning is that the car will only be used on weekend trips (say 100 mile round trips) during the summer months, while during the winter months it will be used for commuting to work (50 mile round trip). -
