Default Kia C'eed

Kia C’eed Station Wagon- Top Speed

Doesn't it look like a copied Volvo S40? Anyway has anyone driven one yet?

Seems like a great 2nd hand buy...it comes with a 7 year warranty and I'm sure the residuals would be ****e.

I would agree - seems perfect IF you manage to keep it 7 years. It is total peace of mind really............

P.S - Just read about the warranty. It is a 5 year warranty for all the car and an extra 2 [7 years in total] for the engine/drive train and only up to 100k!

Still not too bad.

Hmmm - Warrantys are all well and good but you'll have to service it at a main dealer for those seven years to keep that peace of mind.

After three years I'd be straight to the cheapest garage around with a Kia.

Is that extra cost worth it?

I'm very sceptical of lots of warrantys.

You do not have NOT have to use a dealer for your servicing. As long as you get it serviced when it is supposed to be and use genuine parts, you can go anywhere you like

I know that but how many people also know it? The dealer won't be shouting about it will they and it's not the sort of car a car geek like you or me would buy is it?!

The three door looks good. With a 200bhp engine, it would for sure give the Focus a run for it's money.

Had the 2litre TD as a hire car. I was expecting a painful drive. How wrong i was, even fully loaded it handled well round some country A roads. On the motorway there was plenty of toque in all gears. Quality car...I and everyone else who drove it were impressed, and shocked.
