Kia (2 Viewers)

I drive a golf currently but am looking for a change. The Kia Cee'd (stupid name) looks like a decent bet with the same sort of specs for a much cheaper price. Anybody have any experience with them or can offer any advice?

I've sold Kia's for the last 3 years (recently left) so if you need anything about them let me know, I can help with what discounts to ask for etc

I had one, really liked it.

The spec when compared to the others was much better (heated seats, stop start etc) and the price was much lower. Styling was it was nice as well.

Can you get me a Pro Ceed GT for 10k?

With Kia you do get a lot for your money.
7 year warranty is fantastic

Looking for something second had from a dealership so doubt you could help.

My Golf has 130k miles on it and is starting to give me shit but it seems I can save money and pic up a Cee'd that's got 20k on is 3 years newer has no tax and a better mpg. I'm feeling like there must be a catch somewhere.

I wish I'd have one at that price

I thought that to be honest when I got one. It was much cheaper than the other cars in the range for a higher spec, but it was really solid and decent.

Had no issues with it in the 3 years that I had it apart from tyres / brake pads / disks etc.

Plus they dont look like square boxes now!

I did it for the same reason, I had a car that was drinking fuel and causing issues and went to a nice 1.4 diesel with £20 tax a year, hardly any insurance and it just worked. After a couple of years I got a bit bored and spontaneously went back to a fuel guzzler but do regret it a bit!

Try the approved used with dealers as they have the 7 year warranty re started and normally 0% finance.
Also just give car wow a go. That will give you the cheapest option in case a new ones not out the equation

Changed it for an Audi Quattro 3.2 instead. Not quite the same but more fun!

Tim is clearly paying well to keep this site on track.

Needed more space for the brown envelopes anyway!

I do quite miss the Kia a bit though, like when I am at the petrol station.

3.2 jeez I bet that is thirsty. A4?

I'm looking at the 2.7diesel jags at the moment. Wondering if it's going to be overly thirsty.

Not a Cee'd but we have had a Rio for nearly 4 years now, got no complaints at all and with the 7 yr warranty its a no brainer especially with the spec you get.

It's like those computer printers you buy where the printer is real cheap but the ink cartridges cost a fortune. Same principle with Kia parts.

That's why you have the 7 year warranty Tyres / Disks / Pads etc aren't too bad.

Nothing "cheap" about the build quality, m8.
