Anyone drive a Kia?

[Levo-Lon]

Kia are a quality car now and nothing like the cars they made a few years ago

Had 2 kia sportwagons ,superb car and a lot more room.
That said the sportage is rather nice for the money.

The warranty is excellent.

Cash cow no

Guy at golf club had a 1.2 petrol and said it was good and gave him no problems (it was new)
However he has now swapped it for a Renault Kadjur wbich he says is far better.

That's interesting, they look quite big from the outside.

Wonder if there is decent boot space?

No decent boot space at all, few of those styles do, but of those types of vehicles it is one of the best to drive.

I'm coming from a Golf so I'm guessing all these will be more spacious than that?

Been pondering my next car and these have been mentioned as a possibility.

Looking at the Sportage model.

Want something with a slightly elevated view and big enough for holidays to cart the kitchen sink and all the dog's toys

Are you insane?

Not really, no. If you really want space, a regular estate is a far better proposition.

I get my 25 1/2" framed bikes in the Spurtage, no problem. Its not unfeasibly enormous like a Peugeot Teepee with the seats removed, but it is bigger than all but the very biggest eatates or fourbies. This idea that it's a bit snug is daft and, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm the only poster so far who actually has one? I've no loyalty to it as it's the Wife's car, but if crossovers are your thing its very decent by any standards, and for the new price its remarkable.



Nah, I think stonic is a stupid name, so take the pish at every opportunity.

Will it take a bike with the rear seats up?

I have now added the Skoda Karoq to the shortlist... @skudupnorth

Seems to tick all the boxes, I can always put a bit of tape over the badge

Be proud of the badge, they are a great well made vehicle. I am looking for an Octavia at the moment.
