Kia Cee'd

Kia Cee'd

What do you think when you hear the words KIA? Not so reliable, ugly cars? With the advent of the Kia Cee'd (or Ceed as many write it), that came to an end. For starters, the cee'd looks quite modern. This is not surprising considering that its competitors are VW Golf and Ford Focus, which, to be honest, is not up to it yet, but the progress is more than obvious.

APPEARANCE 

There is ample space in both the front and back, and the trunk is properly shaped and spacious. Hanging alone is a little tougher, but this does not mean that you will run out of prized kidneys as you make your way through city traffic and the open road. Hand to heart, the quality of the materials used, at least as far as the interior was concerned, could and should have been much better, so this is one of the main reasons that rivals are far ahead.
And in the basic version, expect air conditioning, headlamps and a CD player for a relatively small amount of money. Not to be confused, Pro_cee'd is just a three-door model and sport hatchback look. The mechanics and everything else is exactly the same.
The redesign was made in 2009, with improvements being made to the revised suspension for a more comfortable ride, improved steering response, a brand new 1.6 diesel unit, hill holder function, 20mm longer body, better interior and slight body changes.

MOTORS
If you opt for a gasoline, we recommend a weaker 1,4 hp 105hp engine. It's lively enough in the city, and even on the open road, it won't disappoint you. The 1,6-liter version with 124 horses is noticeably faster and more expensive to register, so we consider it unnecessary. The average consumption is only five liters of unleaded gasoline per hundred kilometers, so one has to wonder if it is even more expensive to chase diesels in the beginning.
The 1,6 CRDi diesel comes in two variants. With 89 and 113 horsepower, we recommend stronger not so much because of power but because of the range in which maximum torque is available. For average consumption, KIA claims to be just under four liters of diesel. and for a stronger model. Also note that there is a 2,0 diesel with 138 hp but it is very rare, especially as a half-car.

FAILURES 
It may sound weird, but the first thing you need to pay attention to is tires. If the Michelin Energy cars are still in the first installation, know that they wear out very quickly so check the pattern. There were some gearbox issues so go through all the gears to make sure everything was going smoothly. That's basically it for now. Cee'd seems quite reliable and yet time remains to do.
