Likes something a little different.

My dad is really surprised how smooth the diesel engine is. They generally like it.

No purley because I want something faster and more involving to drive. I have to say though that I would recommend Kia to anyone, Ford should seriously be worried as they offer excellent value for money especially with the 7 year warranty.

Possibly the Mazda 3 2.2(185ps)or an Audi TT.

needed a car that was cheaper to run than my Fiesta ST

What was the dealer like?

helpful but would not budge on price

What's it like to drive?

acceleration is a little sluggish in low gears but has great pace on the motorways. Very easy car to drive, probably a little too easy which makes it lifeless to drive at times. Diesel is smooth but the gearbox isnt the best I've used. Steering is a little too light but the car handles well on the smaller roads.

very easy, comes with parking sensors too,

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not so far, fingers crossed.

What's most practical about your car?

massive boot and excellent running costs

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
