Kia Ceed reviews

Good practical car for the type of motoring that I do,which consists mainly of short trips. Suspension is fairly hard so you know when you are travelling over bumpy roads. The engine is reasonably quiet and unobtrusive and fairly lively, there is also plenty of room in the boot for two sets of golf clubs. I have had the car for four years and have found it to be very reliable.

I bought the car four months ago, to date I have been very pleased with it I have had no problems so far, most new cars I had in the past had to be returned to the dealers for minor items to be corrected in the first few weeks but this car seems to be working well. As for the running costs these have so far been as advised by the dealer. I would recomend this car to all.

Excellent workhorse never let me down over 4 years. All bits still functioning like new and tight. Quality and reliability built in. Plenty of power available when neededand nippy on the road.

Style & design is good but fuel consumption should be better. The thin plastic material of the interior is a dissapointment. The overall appearance is very good as is the space and comfort of the interior and seats.

We moved from an eight-year-old petrol Renault Megane to the diesel Kia Ceed Sportswagon earlier this year and are so pleased with the choice we made. It gets almost 60 miles to the gallon, has lots of great features and is comfortable and stylish, with a huge luggage capacity for when we go on holiday or want to transport our bikes. Can't recommend it enough.

My car is fab. One of the cheapest cars we looked at,yet it came with lots of additional extras that leading brands were not offering. It's comfy, reliable and,with a 1.4 engine,it's still got a bit of oomph. Well worth the purchase! :)

i have had this car for three years, in that time it has been a good car for reliability very good on fuel, and as my wife is in a wheelchair there is plenty of room. we have driven to spain four times and it was very good, good air conditioning and very good on fuel considering the stuff we were carrying and we were averaging about 55 to 60 miles to the gallon and is a comfortable car for a long drive. if we were not carrying as much stuff we would have had a much higher miles to a gallon.

I love my car. I changed after the very bad winter when the only way I could get to the shops was in my husband's Picanto which was so very good on the icy roads. Everyone was skidding everywhere, even the buses but the little car was as safe as could be. I bought the Ceed and even went on holiday with 3 adults and two children plus the luggage and everyone was comfortable and economy was very good indeed. It does everything I ask and is very easy to park and manoeuvre as visibility is really good.

An excellent medium size family car. Good on running costs,reliable,with room for my wife & her guide dog.

The Kia Ceed was a step in to the dark. In reality it was stepping in to a secure pleasant driving experience it meets all the needs of a family car

This is the second Ceed we've owned. This is the eco version and does lack a little on acceleration but probably due to more gears. However we are achieving 54 mpg and with no road tax we are very happy with this.

2013 model has greatly improved specification. Comfortable and fun to drive. Spacious and versatile interior. Good value for money. Excellent reliability record backed up by 7 year warranty.

greatly reduced running costs compared to previous car (which was rather old). Petrol consumption around 40 mpg. Good space in boot. Easy access to rear seats for elderly mother. Like the 7 year warranty. I would have loked a 1.6l petrol engine but this was the last of the old style ceed so none left!

The only criticism I have is the 3/4 size spare wheel. Allied to that is the lock nut and the poor wheel brace supplied. I had to call out a motoring organisation because I couldn't get the wheel, with the puncture, off. This was due to the wheel brace continually slipping off the lock nut.

Only had this a couple of months. Moved from petrol to diesel due to fuel costs and mileage travelled. Very impress with fuel consumption and turbo helps with overtaking etc.

A practical car, excellent value for money and very reliable. Warranty is second to non

A well built car with plenty of room for five people and loads of boot space.Great visibility all round.This car is not full of useless gadgets,it has a 1600 engine that gives more than enough power even when fully loaded.Not as economical as kia make out,54mpg,no way, 42mpg on a good day.Seating is quite comfy in the front but a little hard in the rear.Bad point is the engine is a bit noisy (cam rattle,started at 10,000 miles)and road noise also very annoying.Overall I love this car and will keep it for a few more years.So far the car has not let me down,more than I can say for the dealership.

NICE RIDE AND CHEAP RUNNING COSTS.

Excellent vehicle except that having been driving for fiftythree years and used to a conventional handbrake becoming use to the system on this vehicle is a little difficult.

Excellent vehicle. economical and nippy when needed. Overall excellent value for money 4 years old and no problems at all. Can see why there is a 7 year warranty on it although a lot of the fittings are plastic it is internally easy to cleanand hard wareing.
