Is it just me that thinks some of the new Kia's look good?

Saw one of these in the flesh yesterday and it stood out as I drove past it.

Subtle? Are you blind?

I actually like the new Kias. Been toying with the idea of one brand new as a lease car

Please get one! Just so you can tell us all if there any good so we don't waste our own money :A:

I hate all new cars.

Apologies for the useless input.

I think if they put certain cars that had high sales from the past back in production they would sell fairly well

Won't be my money I waste ;)

Problem is, when you have to have a company car, it's nouts to buy a used car that you have to pay tax, maintenance, insurance etc on. You may as well let the company pay for a car that you only have to fuel (then claim back tak on)

[stupotvtr]

Ah wasn't sure if you ment private lease, since its not your money either I say go for it :y:

[Jamie]

Don't be fooled by aesphetics.

lol.

I tried to sell an old Kia Rio for the g/fs mum... BIG mistake all I got was prank calls from little twat bags and it was ropey i.e falling apart.

I know these are new but I bet they will be riddled with problems a few year down the line.

[craig180]

Been looking at the 1.6CDi C'eed in white because the BIK code is less than £50pm tax, whereas if I went for something like a Passat or Mondeo I'd be looking at near £100/mth tax

[stupotvtr]

Could see the resale value etc being rubbish. Are they reliable? I know they do there long 7? Year warranty.

I'm not interested in buying one btw I don't have the money so this isn't a "what car" thread just interested in them.

I agree. Although Pug should bring out a new Rallye of some sort.

1 of the old lady's who lives across the road from me has a friend who comes up quite alot, has a Kia Ceed Coupe i think, near enough brand new. Was having a good look at it the other day and i swear if it never had the Kia badges, you would never think it was a Kia. Quite hot-hatch looking with big wheels, and nice bumpers and nice grey colour. Pretty smart car tbf.

[MuZiZZle]

I'm planning on getting my mum one of these:

I think, maybe, £151 a month

[Ashleyp]

Kia's are cheap inside.

I'm sure they're nice / reliable enough. A mate has had a couple through work because they're cheap and easy. but they are very plasticy, more so than a saxo is.

very little in it tbh.

[CHIP]

Thing is, whilst they are starting to look quite smart - all these Korean cars are still built shit. Probably more reliable than anything German, mind lol.

Next door neighbour traded in his Focus for some Kia tripe and got fed up of the shit interior and traded it in for a Focus again lol.
