New car time

[C.A.R.]

What is it you do mate?

Personally I like the idea of owning a van / using a van for work. They look actually pretty bloody smart those Berlingo's and the interior has loads of useful pockets and cubby holes etc. Plus that hole in the roof for sticking a ladder / similar through? Genius haha!

The Kia is still a big pretender in my opinion. Much like Japanese cars of the 90s, it takes styling cues from the upper-market European models and tries to blend it all into one - the brand doesn't really have an identity which is why they are opting for this stupid shape grille and will make it uniform accross the range. I think that grille shape is the only thing Kia have actually designed and made themselves without just ripping the idea from another manufacturer.

That said, if the car works as a whole package then it will be a safe bet. It'll look tacky, have terrible LED running lights and a lovely plasticy interior and if past is anything to go by then it will be very lacking in the dynamic departpment. Plus, when people ask you what car you're driving you HAVE to tell them "It's a C apostrophee D" you can't just say Ceed.
