2009 Kia Cee'd GS review from UK and Ireland
"A very good contender in the family hatchback sector"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
A very roomy and comfortable car, and very easy to drive.
Gearchange accurate, clutch light. The car grumbles along steadily; a 1.6 diesel is never going to be quick, but it does pull well in the mid range, although lower down it is not as flexible as I thought it would be.
Handling is predictable and the steering a little bit light; it is an easy car to park, and easy to get in and out of.
I like the interior. Good seats, nicely trimmed and the plastic is of decent quality.
MPG so far for mixed driving is about 52mpg; OK, but below the claimed average. Aren't they all!
Price isn't as cheap as you would think, but there are good deals to be had if you search the web.
This is a very pleasant, undemanding car and a relaxing drive. Kia should do well with it, especially with the seven year warranty.
