KIA Ceed GT

So you'd have paid £14,000 over the three years including your deposit, and they are telling you that the car is only worth £6600. Surely it's in their interest to have a higher GFV making the car appeal to more with cheaper monthly payments? Unless they think it will be worth just £6600 after 3 years..

Imagine how fun it was for finance dealers with high GFVs on their books when the crisis happened and used values tanked :)

There's no replacement for displacement! Its a 1.6 turbo by the looks of it I would rather have an Abarth Punto Evo if I had to pick an entry level "hot hatch".

Doesn't come in 5 doors though

If I could live with 3 doors then i'd be getting a new shape Fiesta ST (or just keeping mine)

I'm not after a purely hot hatch, I was just gob smacked at the level of kit you got at the price with the KIA.

I was surprised to see that the service interval on the GT was 10,000 miles or 1 year compared to the 20,000/1 yr of the standard models.
 
I think this looks good, I don't think it's meant to be compared to the likes of the golf gti and focus st as obviously it won't compare with only 1.6 engine but I see it sitting in that little gap between the upper tier and that gap below inhabited by the golf gts and focus zetec-s of this world. The high level of kit and bomb proof warranty and relatively low price might see it do well if buyers can look past the badge. Styling is good too.
 
I like them, I test drove the previous version and was impressed with the kit you get with them, the only thing I don't like is the LED's on the front of the new ones.

I was just comparing it to every other Ceed variant which all have a 20000 mile interval http://www.kia.co.uk/new-cars/range/mid-sized-cars/new-ceed/specification/technical-specification.aspx. Not a big deal I guess but I prefer to just be able to do a single service in a year and 10000 miles wouldn't allow that.

The Kia service plan page states 10,000 miles per annum for the Kia Cee'd or 11,001 to 20,000 miles for higher mileage users.

It would appear their Service plan page and Technical Specification page have different figures.

£309 for a 3 year service plan and £609 for a 5 year service plan seem like very good prices.
 
Should be getting a car to test drive over a period of a few days which is going to be nice.

Will let you know how I get on

The only thing that worries me with cars like this with such a tiny engine running 1.25bar standard is how long will it last?

Quite some time i imagine since it's designed to be able to take 1.25bar, factory fitted.
A bit different to shoving a turbo on a barry'd up 1.4 Corsa.
