Worse. A work colleague and his brother in law have one each. I think they'd
burn them and collect the insurance if they could.

Yes, Kia owners generally have a poor grasp of spelling and grammar.

And only flimsy knowledge of libel law. :-)

Yes. The guy I bought my old 2001 Focus from bought one to replace the
Focus. It was *utterly* dire. This was last April. He's now driving a
slightly later Focus, having binned the Kia off.

Yes.

Utterly dire ..

Conversely the Sorento, which my sister chopped a Sedona in for, has
been utterly reliable and frugal!


My mum has a Picanto, it's about 12 months old now. It's a great little
car. If I had the need for something small that was "just a car", it'd be
top of my list.

The outgoing Rio was surprisingly not **** - and the new Rio looks
really good.

There are a few Pro Ceeds and Ceed Wagons around here - they also look
pretty decent - surprised they haven't made an effort to get onto
company car lists.


I think my local hire firm keeps the Piccantos lnger than anything else,
they don't seem to go wrong, but the Sedonas have been replaced by Merivas
that says everything.

Wasn't bad at all, I looked at one for Mrs P back in October/November. A
lot of car for the money. Berlingo suited us better for what we wanted
though, or I'd have bought one.
