Always had doubts about S Korean cars until this one in which I have driven over 80,000 miles. It is a great ride and extremely comfortable and superb on motorways. I would recommend Kia to anyone and particularly no that you will get a 7 year warranty!

The magentis does nothing spectacularly but everything well. It is a comfortable motorway car and reliable Only two major faults Its diesel (Not a cheap way to go despite the British myths about this) Its front wheel drive - what is this obsession with FWD?

We have had this car from new, it has not given us any trouble what so ever. It has the usual services each year, and has only failed an MOT once because of a cracked number plate. We will be buying another Kia car in the future. We have had Renault, Nissan and Ford over the years but none of them come close to the Kia.

Car has done 120k miles. Good winter car - goes where the Audis & BM's can't in the ice & snow. Good for towing. Getting a bit tired now, but still reasonably cheap to maintain - I've spent about £700 per year over the last 3 years on maintenance including tyres etc.
