On a more serious note, mechanically they are **** as are all Kia’s, rust buckets.
If you get a diesel bear in mind you WILL need to do miles and miles in it otherwise the DPF will clock up which is a pain and if it gets real bad ££££
aye its a nightmare when emergency services personel might want to have a 4×4 to get to work in an emergency in a part of the country where for the last 4/5 years we have had consistantly 3-4 months of solid snow cover ?
i scrapped a golf for the steering rack going – it wasnt that your haldex was ludicrously expensive – it was just golf priced – over priced pieces of crap – id have another hyundai before i buy another vw thanks to lovely overpriced parts – and pattern parts for golfs generally being terrible ime.
Yes I’m tragic. I should really have several cars of varying sizes and only use them when appropriate 🙄
Unfortunately, life has to be full of compromises and for me, a big’ish car is the most appropriate and cost effective. Also as TR pointed out, I do work for the emergency services and I have to get to work in all conditions regardless. Even if I didn’t have to get to work, a big 4×4 would be the most suitable vehicle for camping and skiing trips!
