It was a very good deal, a nine month old £16k car with 3k miles and only £6500. Full leather, heated seats, parking sensors, 2year guarantee and smooth quiet ride. No gears changes too!!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted a reliable new car for little money. It had to be an automatic too with some space and comfort.

What was the dealer like?

Probably mad for selling so cheap, he just wanted his money back - it was a Mercedes dealer and perhaps the image of a Kia on his forecourt wasnt cool. They are hard to shift though!

smooth except on bumpy city roads

its a large car so its just ok. sensors help

Nothing so far and it feels well bult so I have confidence in it.
