Good point Jim. I was more referring to it being a car bought purely on looks alone, like some of the others mentioned.
It's actually reliable and not too badly priced, but there are cars that drive better for less.
Kia's own Cee'd for example - drives better, cheaper to buy, cheaper to tax, better MPG, larger boot...overshadowed 50 to 1 by the Sportage, because of it's looks.And that my son, is how to waft a towel!0 -
Fiat and Citroen -- yeah, they've been polishing turds for years.
And Peugeot
But yeah, it's weird how they're sh*t in the UK, but all over Europe everyone drives them. Almost like they sell us the cars they built on Friday afternoon.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Top Gear made a (rare these days!) very astute point about all cars of this type being beaten in almost every way by the same manufacturer's standard car that the "on stilts" version is based upon.
I don't understand the appeal of these things... they're not particularly any good off-road, and a standard car is quite capable of being driven on grass -- I've taken mine to enough music festivals to testify to that

Yes, that's right they did - my head nearly fell off as I was nodding so vigorously in agreement And that my son, is how to waft a towel!0 -

The ceed is ok, but we wanted a more upright car for the driving position, previously had a citroen xsara Picasso and the wife liked the more upright driving position so that was deciding factor. And I'd be lying if I didn't say its looks played a great part in the decision we made, but resale values are pretty good on these also (although to be fair I don't know what resale value is on a ceed). The price is very good for what you get but we also got a decent discount by using a broker.0 -

You know, I was sceptical about that guy last night, not sure he was a serious buyer at all, maybe it's just me but the repeated use of "range" got right on my nerves. And I did love the winter comment0
