Not exactly mine, had it a few days

Pretty nice bit of kit really!

That's really nice. More than a match for Ford/Vauxhall and just a few years ago they were nobodies selling second rate crap, amazing progress.

My dad had one as a hire car recently and I was amazed at how nice it was inside and out. They have certainly come a long way in the past few years.

My Celica T-Sport

Same as mine then. What's the mileage?

Prices are all over the place from around £2k for an older 190 right up to £6k for a T-Sport and/or GT dependent on age condition mileage etc

Best bet to is look on Auto Trader

I've always had high revving engine cars as I prefer them, you would mostly used Lift for example joining a motorway or dropping down a gear when overtaking, its a lot of fun and never gets old for me but its not for everyone, obviously its not something you can do in traffic sometimes on my commute I wouldn't be able to use Lift at all

Spot on. Mine is on 105k. Think I'd get somewhere between £3-4k as I've spent a lot on it last couple of years.

The Kia GT does look nice, very aggressive. But priced at £20k I would expect it to be decent.

Better level of equipment spec than a Focus ST3 which is what, 25,500 - 26,000?

Drove pretty nicely tbh aswell. Ok wasn't the fastest thing in the world but was perfectly happy tearing up the B roads.

Just shy of 52K

I don't think Kia put enough buttons on that steering wheel :eek:

More buttons on steering wheel = Ferrari = F1 = Race car.

I really like the big saloon version. Has lots of presence on the road.

Kia's GT website page is one of the more unique auto pages I've seen as well

Kia has come such a long way it's ridiculous.

Gf's parents just bought a Kia Venga (yeah, I'd never heard of it either), but my word it's well specced and it feels quality.

Life's a bit easier for auto makers when you steal other peoples design and engineering ideas

Barely been used then! Mine is twice that. Have spent close to £2k on mainly consumables in last couple of years to keep it going though!

Relentless81 · 6 Mar 2014 at 14:44

Yeah the engine is the best bit about it, body work not so much the paint hasn't been looked after as well as the mechanicals im debating whether to get it restored or just respray the parts im not happy with

Not at all, this is how it has been ever since the first car was made.
