f*ck mpg's if it means I have to drive that lol
Jonny it's really not a bad car. I was dreading giving up the skoda for a Kia but I actually think the Kia is better. It's just as well built, nice quite engine that isn't out of the 90s like the skoda and its comfy and has some good toys but like any new car, it just isn't fun and like most new cars now despite what Tom says, it's no more reliable than my old French shit box. In fact, it's less reliable because its now on a shade over 2k and has already been in the garage once. The 6 I have done 8k in and all I've had to do is put petrol in it (lots and lots of petrol.....) and a Cam belt but that's preventative maintenance.
But that's to be expected. Nothing new is perfect is it, sometimes parts get manufacturing defects while being made. Sometimes the manufacturers just underestimate the wear rate on a new part.
But as i said in another thread, after the initial warranty items in the first few months, I bet you'll get several years without things breaking. The first owner of your 6 may well have had it in the garage several times under warranty in the first year.....but if all those things are sorted early on then the next few years should be fine.
Just to add to this, Mums swift is coming up to 8 months and not had any faults at all....
