… Kia Sportage GT Line S HEV … The first Kia Sportage, launched all those years ago way back in the last century (1995 to be precise!), wasn’t much of a looker, neither was the second generation car, which was what you might call utilitarian, but what it had going […] Read more »

… Kia Stonic 1.0 T-GDi … Motoring used to be carefree and fun. Shell Petrol stations offered vouchers which could be exchanged for party glasses while Esso’s ‘Put a Tiger in your Tank’ campaign dished out a free fluffy tiger tail to tie around the filler neck or aerial and […] Read more »

… Kia Proceed 1.5 T-GDi … The Kia Proceed is a seriously good looking motor although it does look much better in the metal than in photographs. Impressive enough to leave parked in the drive out front rather than hidden round the back of the house. It’s an estate car […] Read more »
