A Kia that I like the look of... What is happening?!
204bhp & 265Nm I believe so more power than the Veloster Turbo.
Certainly goes well but it's no super car, 0-60 takes 7.4 seconds according to the books.
Xeons
Sat nav
Reversing camera + sensors
Recaros
Heated seats and steering wheel
Cruise
Auto everything
Climate inc A/C
LCD main display
Bluetooth with hands free calling etc
Power mirrors
Very happy with it. Even with the 18s the ride is comfy yet good, torque comes in very early (around 1750rpm I think) so it pulls well.

Have to say that kia really have improved their cars a lot of late. Quite like that 
Probably requires a change to third gear and has a six speed box to cruise with on the motorway.
According to forums (take this with a pinch of salt) people have gotten it down to 7s with measuring data so whether KIA have gone the conservative route i'm not sure.
It does have 6 gears
Was looking around and there is a remap that takes it from 240bhp and 330Nm but doesn't provide any 0-60 times for comparison.
I need a better camera/someone who is skilled at taking pictures to really show it off. My Nokia 1020 is ok but not the best
Size
I have 3 kids and tbh I can see this even being a squeeze on long journeys.
The fact the ST doesn't come in a 5 door is daft IMO, especially when it's a 5 door in the states.
I do like the new fiesta ST and tbh it probably offers more performance and a hotter drive (plus i've always tinkered with cars so Mountune would be done) but I need to grow up a bit now haha
The Focus ST was the other option but cost more and again didn't seem to be that big in the rear compared to this. Boot size is bigger on the Cee'd too. Insurance for the Cee'd is £380 odd, with the Focus that jumped to £500+

That is a great looking Kia!
Cee'd GT is getting some positive love!
What kind of deal did you manage to get on it?
