I've just watched 5th Gear's team test on the Kia and I have to say that's a nice looking car. Scored very highly as well.
Anyone actually seen one on the road before???
£20k brand new ain't to bad either.

Agree thought it looked ace, the "test" vs the Megane was a bit wet though.
Would be a brave person to go out with 20k for a hot hatch and come home in a Kia

I saw a white one near me recently, the DRLs are what made me notice it. Didn't look bad atall either.

I reckon it looks like the Fiesta ST wishes it did.

Its more aimed at the golf gti and at £5k cheaper it seems like a good buy.

I've driven a normal spec version one quite a lot at work and they're decent cars. Can only imagine the GT will be decent too.

I've seen a few now. They do look pretty cool, they might even make a very cheap track car in the future, I can see them being dirt cheap in a few years.

Cee'd in boggo spec are nice looking motors, they've done a very good job on these sportier ones. I wouldn't buy one new but if I didnt need the space it woul certainly be a contender if I was after something 2/3 years old

Don't get me wrong - I like the Fiesta ST, just not the trout-pout front grille.

I think they look great. The trout pout is the ''family face'', suits all the models imo.

Sat in one today. They are very nice. But you can tell it's a cheap car in places. Engine cover made from recycled cola bottles, indicator stalks out of a 1980's Subaru and look round the edges and you'll see the lack of finish.
All that said I would still have one! Cabin is a nice place to be

Price a hor hatch should be imho.
Buying pre-reg with a load of dosh knocked off and 7 years warranty is going to be cheap fun motoring for some time.

I think they are nice looking cars. cheaper then all its competitors and come with a 7 year warranty. Can see them selling quite a few.
