rhouses But after the KIA test drive, it would seem like the KIA is the no brainer choice.
Glad you like, never had a drive of one myself yet. One of my mate has driven most decent saloons (A4, Superb &&& etc) before he got his Sportage and he’s now onto his second - they love it and do plenty of miles.
The thing I love about the Touran is the thing that divides people - the interior isn’t too busy and cluttered (I hate Honda and Mazda for that) - some call it bland or boring but I like clean and non distracting.
Like others, for me it has a lot of features and space and sitting in the back you get proper seats but I can also flatten everything and carry a sound system / decks etc. I got a 1.4TSI petrol DSG and would have considered a diesel but don’t do 25k miles a year these days - it’s so much quieter an engine and feels like a 2 litre at 140bhp.
I think even the Kia 1.6 diesel packs a decent punch if you don’t need rapid speed.
