Kia Sorento Rio Ice Diesel CRDi 2007

OK being used to a KIA Sorento, for value for money and a tow car for my hols, I decided to take the plunge again with a new KIA RIO ICE Diesel for my daily work horse...and why not, the Sorento is perfect...what reason the KIA RIO ICE Diesel is not...and what a surprise when I took it for a test drive. The engine is just fab and being nearly 6’4’ the head room is excellent. OK, it’s a pretty basic car but when you add A/C and central locking and a vehicle which can pound the motorway mile after mile hour after hour and still give you 50 plus to the gallon (don’t know where they get the 60) it is good if not fab value for money. Like every car there is a niggly bit or 2 why o why do you have to put the key in the door for central locking and it s not remote, and why o why when you turn it to defrost do you have to switch off the AC. Apart from that buy one....you will not be disappointed. The general value for money is excellent and if you take time you will get a discount from the so called non negotiable price. I did not but my trade in made up the deficit. By the way, the plain white non metallic (as I have) is so clean and the paint finish is quite simply fab. Summary, traffic jams and motorway working within the limits of course you will find it difficult to get less than 50 MPG whatever the conditions and at nearly £5 a gallon that we pay to our friendly and respected Mr Brown you should seriously consider it. Shame this nation has to go elsewhere to get a decent product.

Kia Sorento 2.5 CRDi XS 5dr 2006

Cracking 4x4. Makes more expensive competitors look like overpriced posers. This really is the first 4x4 you should look at if you want to pay for a car that never goes wrong and has real off road capability rather than paying through the nose for a badge name and some shiny chrome. Brilliant!

Kia Rio Ice 2007

Having had this car for one month now it ticks all the right boxes, Kia Rio Ice 1.4 in black, transports 4 adults easily with ease, with the price of fuel its is economical and fun to drive and value for money. I would invite others to try this nippy vehicle, basic yes but the stereo system is great drive is fantastic, affordable car for those of us on a budget and practical.

Kia Mentor 1.6 GLX 2001

Bought my 2001 Mentor 12 months ago and have had nothing but reliable and comfortable driving in it. Based on the Mazda 323, you get everything the Mazda has to offer without the inflated price tag. This is a really sweet car and I would definately recommend that you take a look at one before you pay extra just for the sake of a badge name. Very, very cheap to run too. Great family car.

Kia Ceed 1.6 D 109 TS2 2007

A worthy contender to the best hatchback crown. Great performance from the 1.6 engine and fantastic fuel economy. Spacious, safe and good value for money.

Kia Carens 2.0 2007

I hired this car when on holiday to help ferry around my extended family. I’d say that it doesn’t do anything very badly but neither does it do anything very well. I’m guessing that it is not an expensive car due to it being very cheap to lease. A respectable MPV but a bit dull.

Kia Picanto 1.1 LX 2007

Bargain price and no compromise! Roomy inside, well equipped with air con, C.D player and electric windows. A good buy.

Kia Picanto 1.1 LS 5dr

Really nicely designed little car. I’m very pleased with it’s performance but have noticed that it’s not as comfortable on the motorway as it is nipping around town. I very rarely do any long journeys so for me it’s not really a problem but may be a consideration for other users. It’s really very good value for money and wonderfully cheap to insure and run.
