wouldnt go that far, they'll probably go bust offering their 7 year/100k warranties, im tempted by that alone

Not too bad. Certainly not what you'd expect of a far-Eastern manufacturer.

Bit like the 1.3CDTi. Only a few more BHP than a 12v, but double the torque

I think the 7 warrenty is working for them, alot of KIA's around here now..
The ceed was tested on 5th gear and they said it was value for money pretty much faultless.
Pr0-ceed looks boshank I would have one.
3rd picture looks a little like the mg-zr boot.
So it looks like...
A3, Civic, Focus, Corolla and a Mg-zr
