Kia Ceed SW 2.0 CRDi GS

Both a 2010 kia ceed 2 estate crdi 1.6 for €15,000 in 2011. I've driven it everywhere and find the space excellent. The comfort is great, the reliability is great and it is extremely economical. It isn't as solid as a mondeo but not far off. It doesnt have the wow factor inside but it works very well with all the necessary buttons. A very good car that takes a battering from the kids. Its perfect for an active family.

After a bad experience with a Brand New Kia Soul Burner,the paintwork was flaking off,FARE PLAY TO KIA they swapped it for Brand new Cee'd 3 SW 1.6CRDI. We sold the car some 2 months later it only had 32 miles on the clock,we only drove the car from the showroom to our home, and already the drivers door protective strip was starting to come loose.

We lost faith in the build quality of Kia cars, also had a job to sell the Cee'd.Even with a new 60 plate and 32 miles on the clock, the car had devalued by over £6000.00p in just 2 months.

Has put us off ever buying a new car.

Excellent design and VW type finish (solid as a rock)

Great exceleration and very comfortable drive espicially on Autostrdadas/Motorways with cruise control on.

Very economical at 55/60mph I am getting 58MPG.

Has every possible extra eg retracting mirrors, auto lights and windwipers, leather seats, aircon, Ipod/MP3 huge boot and 7 years warranty in Europe, Africa and UK. Driving this beast is a pleasure

I have had a Mercedes, BMW 5 series and VWs but this is the best car I have owned or driven.

Great car, great price and a real pleasure to drive. Also the passengers I have travelled with foound the drive superb.

The very comprehensive kit included with the Kia Ceed is second to none. It must be one of the safest cars on the road with its 6 airbags and the electronic safety devices. In gear acceleration is fantastic giving safe and easy overtaking manoeuvres. The sixth gear gives very good economy for a 2.0 litre diesel. Comfort and build quality is very good and it's easy for anyone to find a comfortable driving position. The leather seats with fabric insets give comfortable support without the sticking, sweaty feeling normally associated with all leather seats. The load area in my estate is enormous and then the rear seats can be folded down 60/40 or totally to give an enormously long, flat platorm. Of course, the 7 year warranty gives total peace of mind for its ownership life

Overall, I find it very difficult to fault this car and am totally happy with every aspect of it. I would certain recommend this car to anyone.

I live in Spain and paid 14000 for this top of the range Kia Cee'd SW 2.0 CRDi GS. It has everything eg cruise control, automatic lights and window washers parking alert, MP3 and Ipod. leather seats automatic air con etc etc. I have had VWs Mercedes, Mitsibushi, Fords but this is the best car I have ever driven and the most secure and safe. And all for 19500? with 7 year warranty and 5 years roadside assist. Well done Kia

With the reliability being so bad you do not know when it will go wrong again.
