Kia 7 year warranty. heart vs head?
er... nearly everything?
the only things in common is the very general shape and the crease along the body.... as far as i can see.

same as a fiat, although it happens to a fiat 2-3 years sooner.
i suspect kia will enjoy new-age suzuki style depreciation; not too steep but still steep enough to please used car buyers.
i woudnt be surprised if we end up buying a 3-4 year old pro-ceed for my girlfriend after she graduates, its either that or a swift sport. i cant see anything else for the same money that competes with either of them.

i've had a look at the Pro Ceed and i was very very impressed... but the Kia badge just doesnt do it for me... a few years on and once the depreciation has hit it i'd be interested.
The 2.0 CRD is quite slow? over 10secs to 60? seems a bit slow for 138bhp!

so you honestly seriously think a fiat badge is less of an embarrasment
yeah is a real shame.
Also seems a bit low BHP for a 2.0 given you're at 150bhp from a 1.9.
i know on the accent some have acheived 200bhp on the CRDi with only a remap, so its about the same as the 1.9m-jet when both are tuned for power rather than the oem setup for fuel economy and smooth delivery.
Yes, and i dont drive a Fiatso you honestly seriously think a fiat badge is less of an embarrasment
The Ford 2.0 Tdci and Honda 2.2 i-cdti are both only 138bhp but are both fantastic imo

I do love how Stilo-ish the C'eed is. It's probably why I like it so much.
One of my favourite styling points on cars, and one that attracted me to the Stilo is broad 'shoulders' - those high haunches at the rear if you will brought forward from the original albeit more rounded Bravo. Look at the copycats that have appeared: Volvo C30, VW Scirocco, C'eed.
I'm also impressed by the Kee concept from Kia - http://www.kia.co.uk/kiaconcepts.asp

Oh and as for the 2 litre diesel, on paper I'd love it. But as Honest John says on his website, the 1.6 C'eed3 makes more sense.
Not really slower but better economy and £35 tax even for the 113BHP one. Bit of a no brainer. Shame the 2l sport comes laden with some juicy extras though.

true the I30 is a ceed is disguise, redesigned by germans. i wonder how on earth they managed to make it so much worse looking
Warrenitee is as follows iirc when I checked;
5 years unlimited mileage everything, 7 years (2 on top of the 5) 100,000 for engine and gearbox.
So basically everything is 5years/unlimited mileage, and if when the car is 5, for a further 2 years until its 7, if it's done below 100,000 miles the engine and gearbox are still warrenteed.
Or is that Hyundi
