Overall:
This is my follow up to the last review where i have now traded in my old 1.6 LS diesel Ceed SW for the new facelift one. Can't fault this car at all. Most of the niggles have been ironed out like the heater matrix delivering proper temperature. I now have the 6-speed gearbox that i missed on the last version and the stereo and instrument controls have all been redesigned and are much more user friendly. The big pluses for me is the styling. I love the new grille and headlamp design. I now have the sporty alloy wheels and the suspension has been firmed up but not to much, perfect balance and handling from this car now. It would seem as if Kia has listened to its customers and made the facelift even better.

Plus Points:
Economy, performance, 6-speed gearbox, handling, stereo, style
