Last November I bought a new Kia Pride, being 100 miles from the dealer this was not the simplist of tasks but after requesting a brochure over the net and ordering over the phone the car was delivered to my door at 6:00pm one tuesday.
It's a 3 door hatch with a 1.4l engine giveing me around 48 miles to the gallon.
The reasoning behind the purchase was simple I also have a Nissan Patrol doing about 20 to the gallon so this car almost pays for it's self I dont worry about frills and I am very happy with this small car as I travel between 700 and 1000 miles per week.
What other car can you get for 5,500 quid with 60000 miles / 3 years warranty 1 year RAC cover and 2 years interes free credit. I will trade this one in at the end of 2 years with 70 - 80 thousand miles on the clock and get another on the same deal unless other manufactrues get there act together and bring down the prices to match.
