Just got this car 2 days ago! I LOVE IT! I love how it warms up quickly compared to other cars which is a great advantage considering British winters. However, the rear window is quite small, but after a couple of drives you get used to it and it no longer seems a problem. Control is great and also, I love that it goes up all the way to 6th gear. Fuel economy is great too! Filled it up to a quarter tank and its only used up 1/4 of that in the last 110 miles I've driven it! GREAT CAR!

I am happy for Kia, these look good and are transforming themselves in a good option for the money. Wish them success!!

Did he mention power steering as an option....??

Funny, the rear of this new C'eed looks very similar to the rear of the 2005-2012 Seat Leon, and the new Rio looks like the rear of the mk1 Seat Leon!

[abedzilla]

what about its small rear window? a narrow rearview mirror viewing?

Why is the steering so vague on a new car?

I test drove a Focus and found it less enjoyable to drive than the Ceed.

He said "almost completely flat" when folding down the rear seats and then "realy flat loading bay". Dude, make up your mind...
