Summary
What does this car say about you?
Practical car for a practical man hopefully.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They like the look of it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would try the newer model. As I mentioned earlier the seats are very hard but have sorted this by adding some padding to all the seats and it doesn't look bad at all and has made it much more comfortable to sit in.
What are you likely to buy next?
Not sure, hopefully keep this one for a few years due to te 7 year warranty.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
OK as a '3' model it has the larger wheels and looking at other car reviews large wheels tend to mean a harsher ride and that is the case with this car. I have been driving cars for 42 years and the seats in this Kia have to be the hardest I have ever sat on.
What's it like to park?
No problems so far.

Living with it
