Select the desired model

Kia Mentor

Steer clear. Small Korean saloon that can offer very little to the discerning punter: nastily design, poorly packaged and unpleasant to drive. Steep depreciation more than offsets attraction of low new prices.

Kia Sportage

Average. Well-priced entry-level 4x4, but it feels cheap and basic next to rivals.

Kia Shuma

Average. New looks and keen prices give the Shuma 2 a fighting chance in the budget car market. Plenty of standard equipment but engines are unrefined.

Kia Sedona

Average. Big, sensible and very attractively priced - but don't expect more than A-to-B transport.

Kia Carens (00-06)

Not recommended. Another unmemorable mini-MPV, the Carens offers reasonable space but lacks much in the way of versatility. Solidly constructed but completely unmemorable.

Kia Magentis

Not recommended. This old-school saloon is spacious and well equipped, but it lacks the quality and dynamics that European buyers expect.

Kia Rio

Average. Solid supermini that makes up for in value what it lacks in excitement.

Kia Sorento

Average. A big, tough off-roader that offers plenty of utility for anyone who really needs to get their wheels dirty - but chronically outclassed in town.

Kia Picanto

Average. Cheap and cheerful - the bargain Picanto combines ultra-keen pricing with good space, plenty of kit and a reasonable driving experience.

Kia Cerato

Not recommended. Kia's history lesson - this is the way Korean cars used to be. The newer Cee'd is a far better all-round proposition.

Kia Sportage (95 - 05)

Not recommended. The Sportage is dated but it does have one secret weapon - off-road ability. Inadequate when compared to more modern rivals and poor secondhand values.

Kia Ceed

Recommended. Mark this car as a turning point for Kia. The Ceed's a genuine competitor against European rivals.

Kia Carens

Average. A serious competitor that shows the Koreans are rapidly improving - not exactly fun, though.
