A Kia mainly for the waranty, but we've got a little Kia and the Dealers are much more ready to be helpful. Once you've driven off the forecourt of Peugeot you have to go to Peugeot UK to get listened to.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Boot lid leaks water whenever its opened. Stearable headlights malfunction. There is a 5mm gap between the roof rails and the roof which collects debris and stays wet which will eventually lead to corrosion. There is an issue with the car being driven without the key being present, if the car is stopped the brakes go on and it cannot be moved until the key is present, could be embarrassing!
What's most practical about your car?
Tows a caravan well, brilliant load space and room in the back seats. Very quiet on motorways.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Glass roof. Steerable headlights.
