Test drive Kia Ced 2007 - 2009 hatchback

The car must go!

Igor, designer in a construction company
No guys, the car should go! And this is the main point. But here everything is in order with the design. You just look at these lines at the combination of an acute side face and convex side, at the clear lines of the bumper and stylish substetricians on the hood. On lighting equipment ... The hand of the master is visible in everything. No wonder the car was made according to European canons for Europe.
 
Ergonomics here is generally German clearly defiled harsh seats, unobtrusively dictating the correct landing. You will not get tired in such seats for a thousand kilometers of run. The steering wheel is exactly what it should be optimal in profile and thickness, and the leather decoration in quality is not inferior to rivals. By the way, it is regulated in two planes and, in conjunction with the adjustments of the seat, even my father -in -law is placed here, and it weighs 130 kg and two meters tall.
All pens-caps are in their places, and secondary functions are intuitive. In general, the guys from KIA were not in vain studying ergonomics textbooks. Here, even the color lighting color is selected in such a way that they are read in any light.
 
As I already said, the car must drive, which means it means to be controlled and accelerated so that I do not only feel flawed in the stream, but also had an advantage. And with this CEED is all right, even with an automaton. I chose the automatic because I mainly drive around the city and these are permanent traffic jams, you are tortured with a pen. And it’s inconvenient to talk on the phone, but they call me very often. The machine here is four -speed, but correctly configured: acceleration turns out exactly what you expect. Of course, I would like more, but the 1.6 -liter engine is lucky for its 122 forces honestly. Yes, and the average fuel consumption does not bother: in traffic jams about 10 liters, and on the highway and in six I fit.
 
A dense suspension allows you to go through the bedridle at a decent speed, and it simply does not notice small irregularities.
 
The controllability at a very decent level is the electric power steering in high quality, although it is a little artificially fascinated at low speeds, but CEED is clearly in turns. My CEED holds the high -speed straight line, loyally refers to the rut and does not scare the buildup. The joints of the asphalt passes easily. This is its own, special pleasure when the car completely obeys you.
 
The brakes are adequate and this is correct, the pedal force clearly corresponds to the brake dynamics.
 
Why hatchback? So, after all, in it, the trunk, when you fold the seats, are normal, and I need to carry the mock-ups to customers, and there are fewer problems with parking, otherwise everyone around the sedans drive, but still I need to differ in the designer.
 
No, whatever you say, and Kia made a very successful car, and even leaving everything away, just get behind the wheel and feel how she goes!
 
   
The interior is rusted, but all the pens-caps are in their places, and they are intuitive to control them
Devices three familiar dials are read at a time
Climate control works correctly, but the music lacks the depth of sound. The top display is difficult to see in sunny weather
The declared trunk volume with folded rear seats 1300 liters, the joy of the summer resident
