Description
I bought this at BCA auction with the help of Ecocars.
I am second owner since 23,884 miles.
I bought this because I had a bad knee and was advised to get an automatic.
If you are in a similar state with OA it is really helpful
There are lots of features that make this car very easy to drive on long runs.
Intelligent cruise control really helps in stop start traffic and lane keeping for motorways.
Regen paddles are fantastic and save years on pads.
Cleevley mechanic advised me to pump the brakes now and then to stop the pads from getting rusty.
2 new rear tyres fitted by Kia in February 2026.
Extras
Rubber boot mat. 2 sets of mats.
Cambrush for cleaning rear camera. Very useful.
2 years Kia Warranty is definitely worth having.
On purchasing the car there was a minor fault which was draining the battery.
The rear door had a sensor which was draining the lead 12v battery.
This was investigated by Kia and was fixed for free under warranty.
The battery is in excellent condition and shows a range of 256 miles when full.
I have been able to get 5 miles per KwHr on a long run
Minor negatives.
Have not been able to get Kia app to work with the car. Kia couldn't either.
Drivers seatbelt often gets caught in the door leaving several marks on the inner frame.
Rear bumper, small piece of trim reattached: see photo.
There are cosmetic on top of rear bumper from getting boxes in and out of the car.
