I looked at the IX35 last year, as an accountant the 5 year warranty is appealing. And I'm middle aged, hence the crossover model.

If you want a crap car with a long warranty why not go the whole hog and get a kia? My accountant drives a merc so he's obviously earning too much

presumably anyone who would want a practical reliable motor with an excellent warranty at a good price, that will last for ten years plus

its horses for courses with cars - not everyone wants a flash motor, sometimes people have more practical needs

they're not really my thing but i appreciate why they would be a good choice, christ! the i30 is even halfway good looking

Yes it is mate.

Funnily enough the Kia Sportage won the JD Power survey for 2012, up until fairly recent Mercs had gone right off the boil in terms of reliability/customer satisfaction.
It would seem that most accountant's/estate agents/premier league soccer louts have small organs given the propensity for them to drive overtly large BMW's/Audi's/Mercs to make up the shortfall, usually in a manner that exudes bellendishness beyond reproach.

I drive an Audi

Who cares what whoever drives, its all about personal choice.

Id drive a Kia, or Hyundai i mean the cars are reasonable looking compared to other brands and the warranties are not to be sniffed at!

Besides its about FC getting a good sponsor on board, which i think is a good thing, i mean at least there local, is Hirebase?

Were a proper community club!

Quite the opposite really the new generation Hyundai & Kia's are pretty decent cars and offeer very good value for money. Alternatively you can buy a Merc paying top dollar for a car that is no better but has a fancy name for the price tag.

yeh right so if you were offered a merc or a kia for free you wouldn,t no which one to choose
