james.wilson Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 I like the kias. That ceed looks nice and so does the 4x4 and the new mondeo type one. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

alterEGO Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 One of our customers, multi millionaire who owned car dealerships drives a Kia ceed. In his words 'The hateful thing comes with a 7 year warranty, when it expires I will give it away and buy another.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Adi, join the AA and the RAC too if you get that. Nice looking thing though No matter what vehicle i have, i will always have breakdown cover BUT, with the alfa thing - i reckon people are still living in the past with alfas previous reputation. From what ive gathered, most faults are fixed under warranty, if i have the belt and water pump replaced, i should be ok. Its only a weekend car anyway. I was advised to stay away from civic type r's, but ive flew past 4 today on the motorway like they are stood still - maybe not every type r' is thrashed. I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.

james.wilson Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 adi. sorry but id be more confident driving a thrashed type r than i would be in anything made by fiat. Personally i avoid (for me) anything but german (well bmw may as well be made in france) I cant afford what id prefer, so curently its audi for me securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

whistle Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 We then had a CLK after about a year it had lots of intermitant electrical problems although after 21 months without spending a penny other than a service i swapped it for the Audi we now have. My A4 i had for work for the last 3 years / 55k hard miles did not give me one single problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
