Summary
What does this car say about you?
You're a non - conformist and don't follow the herd buying Nissan Jukes.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They like it, but I couldn't care less if they didn't as they're not paying for it. Anyway I'd say to anyone drive it before you judge it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. Room in the rear is so impressive. Beats the Juke hands down in this respect imho. Getting 49 mpg so far - not bad - hope it improves. Only area Kia need to improve on really.
What are you likely to buy next?
Another Kia, or maybe a Nissan Leaf if they improve the range significantly.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Lovely. Easy to drive. Diesel, but drives like a petril.Engine so quiet I thought they had brought out a petrol by mistake at first.
What's it like to park?
Simple using rear parking camera. I'd still prefer sensors though as they warn you about obstacles you can't see even with the camera.
