My wife will probably change here car in the next couple of years and the only thing that is putting my wife off buying another Fabia is that it is boring looking inside and out.

I was recently in Germany at a car show and sat in the Kia Cee'd and the build quality was fantastic and the car looks good too! I really think the Kia Procee'd looks very sexy and would even look at one of those as my next car!

So as you can see I am not a badge snob - I have to think what will cost me the least over the lifetime I have in terms of maintenance and so on - I am not a millionaire.
The Procee'd is a really nice looking car! The 2.0 TDI version is actually quite fast also! I have no problem buying a Skoda - The VRS is lovely. However I couldn't buy a Kia... at the moment...

Guy at work has a Cee'd - he had a tiny paint bubble about the size of a pea on the side of the door where you step into the car - could only see it when the door was open - Kia phoned him - and asked if there were any problems with the car - so he told them - and they were shocked - and got the car in for a repair and full re-spray. They are doing really really well with the customer service.
