Good Points

Good load carrying capability. Cheap. Good radio.


Bad Points

Cheap & tacky inside. Very noisy, wind noise, engine noise, road noise all lot more than you would expect from a car built in 2006. I finally resorted to wearing ear plugs on any length of journey. It was impossible to hold any type of conversation with anybody sitting in the drivers seat above 30mph.
Main dealer found it strange but saw it as an opportunity to try and sell me the new Kia Ceed.
The gear box, you had to force it out of 1st gear in to 2nd after that OK.
Massive boot, but no space for rear passengers.


General Comments

It was my own fault, got carried away with the brand new car thing, in the show room & what appeared to be a good deal. Should have waited for the new type to come out a couple of month later but did not realise what a difference they would be.

Could not stand the noise any longer and sold my 6 month old car for a 3 year Fiat, what a difference, can actually talk to somebody whilst driving.

5 year Warranty is good as long as you understand it does not cover the entire car and they have to agree you have a problem.
