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.

It might not be the trendiest of cars but I think you'd be hard pressed to find something that is better value. Couldn't ask for more for the £10k I paid for a C'eed that had done less than 50 miles. Plenty of space for us. Comfortable. No issues. Cheap to run. 7 year warranty.

OK, not fashionable and not exciting but there's a reason it used to be Top Gear's reasonably priced car for stars to wreck. It's fairly priced, cheap to run and insure, gets from A to B (the CD player is the only thing that's gone wrong since I bought it and even that was covered by the 7 year guarantee) and does everything I want it to do (I don't want it to beat a Ferrari)so.......8/10.

This is the first diesel I have ever had and the performance exceeded expectations. It is the most powerful diesel Ceed and performs easily as well as petrol cars of the same capacity that I have had in the past. It is much more economic on fuel than any petrol car I have had in the past. It does not get as good MPG as many other diesels but as the performance is good I do not care. It does everything I ask of it and does not have unnecessary gimmicks. I am very pleased with it.

This was an exceptional car for the first 3 years, but then seemed to become subject to irritating minor faults, all of which were covered by warranty. Given that the car has a 7 year warranty, you might expect it to be more reliable, but maybe you just need a long warranty to cover it! Having said that, on the two occasions I've needed the AA to attend, both personnel have indicated that they hardly ever have to attend a Kia breakdown, so maybe I'm just unlucky.

it is really my wifes car but i use it.it does just about everything we need and has been reliable. took four people to france this year.approx 2300 miles in nine days and no problems.the seven year warranty is almost up and so we will probably replace with another kia although maybe not a ceed. our son in law is a kia/fiat salesman but this fact has not had any bearing on this review. my own car is a gmc sierra k1500 pick up truck.

The car was bought in July 2013, I find the car is very comfortable and being an estate has plenty of room in the back. On a recent holiday to Yorkshire from our home in Kent, on mainly main roads and motorways we got in excess of 60 miles to the gallon. I have only covered 2500 so far but have had no problems with the car.

We bought this because of the seven-year guarantee, but it's proved to be very efficient, especially on long journeys.
