Kia 1996 Pride
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Hard to find cheaper.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Parts a bit dear, but seldom go wrong.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    This car bounces along like something from Toy Town. Best suited for town work though steering heavy. Motorway driving is scary.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Lightweight, so seems to go fast. 91MPH is about the limit though, but this needs strong nerves.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Never stranded EVER.

    Popular with the Grey sector and people from the developing world. In other words LIDL shoppers!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Well upholstered seats on the GL with more rear leg room than many executive cars. (Beats a Rover 600).

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Dealer is too dear. Independents are best. Mechanics simple.
