If you are not bowled over by the appeal of the Kia Cee'd's seven-year warranty, then you should at least be impressed by the car's build quality and practicality.

The driving experience doesn't excel when compared to the best European hatchbacks like the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, but all have air-conditioning and plenty of safety equipment. A simple range offers four specifications, named 1, 2, 3 and EcoDynamics. Either variant of the 1.6-litre diesel provides very low running costs, while EcoDynamics cars are the most environmentally friendly.

On the road, It can't match class leaders like the Volkswagen Golf for driving fun, yet the Kia Cee'd has a solid, well-engineered feel that underlines the quality of its engineering.

The steering, pedals and gearshift feel light and easy to use, but never flimsy. The only real issue is that the driving position itself lacks adjustment.
