General Comments
The Shuma is a nice 5 door hatchback from Kia with a nice shape (the front resembles a toyota celica, rear a Merc). It's major selling point is its spacious cabin and very low price (the price of a super-mini). The Shuma is also economical but it's 1.5litre engine is a bit underpowered. However, the car can take after market mods with ease. A major disappointment is the very low rent interior plastic material of the dash. Otherwise, a very good effort from Kia. My brother owns one and he absolutely adores it!
