My Kia arrived..

Drakey

.... I know it`s not a 2.2, & not even a Vauxhall, but I thought I would share my new pride & joy with you before it gets too dirty.

Very nice mate, whats it like to drive compared to the vauxhall.

Sjdickso

No rattles, suspension doesnt knock, no EML & randomlimpmode. Dont want to tempt fate (and it is new) but, its a joy to drive, feels quite a solid car, but its early days.

I like that. Looks a bit like the new Astra too!

Keeping it nice is the next problem, shall be looking over many of your (& Matts) posts on cleaning, only done 20 miles and the dust on the Black is phenominal. 😃

very smart mate reminds me of an a3 8)

Jamee

Cool, yeah black is a b!tch to keep, my astra sri was black and it looked stunning once polished, but dirty as soon as it was cleaned.

Do they still come with the 7 year warranty? BIG selling point that is in my eyes, especially if they are alright to drive. They certainly dont look like the usual KIA rubbish

Drakey

Yep 7yrs 100k,
Definately the turning point for Kia hopefully.
Everyone gave me a funny look when I said we had decided on aKia, lots of positive coments this morning when I pitched up at work.
The drive to work was a blast. LOVINIT. showo.. Cant wait until its run in properly, they suggest 600miles, that`s just over a week for me!!!!

If you squint at the paperwork I got £2000 for the Veccy Mr Macerena,
going to keep an eye out on Auto Trader etc in a few weeks to see if some garage has taken it on and selling it.
Hope the garage I got it from gets it back noth. (should have taken it back shortly after owning it with that crappy LPG fit, the back-bone of most of the cars problems I reckon)
....wonder if it will turn back on here????
