2005 Kia Magentis LE review from UK and Ireland
"Nice car to drive, good buy second hand"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers electric window switch faulty, won't drop automatically with a single touch.
Leaking rainwater getting in to the spare wheel well.
General comments?
This car is very comfortable on main roads, motorway or city driving. However it handles badly on bendy roads, makes for slower progress.
For drivers 6 foot or more, the absence of rake adjustment of the steering column leads to a compromised driving position.
Boot space is long but very shallow.
