Kia Picanto Review
Just like the Sportage, the Kia Picanto has undergone a facelift for 2008. And, along with the cosmetic changes, there’s a new naming system for the trim levels. Before the revamp there was a choice of three models that went with two engine sizes; 1. 0 GS, 1. 1LS and 1. 1LS Auto. the full review

Kia cee’d SW Review
Hot on the heels of the cee’d hatchback, comes the cee’d SW. It is Kia’s first ever estate car and one, which the company hopes, will build on the success of the 5-door. More than 80 per cent of C-segment car sales are to fleet buyers but Kia believes that the cee’d SW will provide a good alternative to private customers, who are looking towards SUV’s. Designed at the same time as the hatchback and forthcoming 3-dr version, the SW has the same front end and the same wheelbase as the 5-door. the full review

Kia cee'd Review
Let’s get the name out of the way first. Yes, the name, cee’d is certainly unusual and there are many theories behind it but it really is quite simple. The cee’d is Kia’s first European designed and built car. the full review
