But mine is just an opinion, if you don’t like kias, don’t buy one.
Hey man, as long as you're happy then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. But my mum has a GT Line and I think its a well understated car. She bought it ex demo and traded her Hyundai IX35 for it. It was like chalk and cheese.

Quite a lot of power and torque from the TD. The only thing Im not a huge fan of is the brake feel. It just feels like you have to stomp the brake hard to get it to work. Not sure if thats normal or not.

Handling wise though, its quite impressive for the size of car.
