We have had our Kia pride for 3 years now. We purchased it as a used car when it was 2 years old. In the 3 years we have had it, we have had no problems at all. We found it to be very reliable and very cheap to run. It does 44 miles to the gallon, and has never let us down, and it has enough poke to get you anywhere fast, my husband has had 90mph out of it very comfortably. It has gone through 3 mot`s with nothing wrong, and has never let us down. When you compare the prices of kia`s to those of the likes of ford and vauxhall you will see a big difference. Our little kia even has electric windows, how much would a little car with electric windows cost at ford? Kia definitely give you a lot more car for your money. The service from kia is second to none. My husband is disabled and as such, needs a courtesy car when ours is in for service or mot. Many dealers would charge for this, but not kia, whenever i call to book our car in the first thing they say to me is ah yes you need a courtesy car. I don`t know if it is just my local dealer( LESLIES KIA, VENTNOR, ISLE OF WIGHT), but the staff are friendly, polite and never seem to forget who you are. They will always advise honestly unlike some dealers who will advise the expensive option. If you`re in the market for a new or used car kia is worth a look. Yesterday we said sa goodbye to our pride, as our sons are getting bigger and we needed a bigger car, in some ways i was sorry to see it go, as it has been the best car we have ever had. cheap to run, reliable, and an all round great car. However so great are Kia, that we have replaced our pride with a Kia Rio Ice+, which when we had it as a courtesy car seemed great, but i will let you know.

Thanks for the op. - To give a very helpful rating for a car op. I like a bit more information about the particular features and performance characteristics of that model. Thanks for this helpful op. though - Phil
Advantages: Easy to fix, loads of space and pleasant to drive. Disadvantages: Prone to rust, needing to shop around for parts and it looks funny as a van.
