    VW quality is no longer a reality I'm afraid. They are living on long gone reputation.
    do you own a vw? or just parroting what the media and people on facebook say?

    It's still the better car to be in and drive, although she doesn't state which model of Golf she's looking at.

    It's a 1.4 TSI bluemotion.


    There's still more legroom in the Golf than the Fiesta so either fits my brief on that. I think I need someone to sat that the Ceed is amazing and the warranty is superb. The Golf warranty is an after-market RAC one, if anyone has experience of those?

    The Ceed IS amazing, and you can't beat the extra warranty, does that make your mind up now ;)

    Seriously, there's nothing wrong with either car and only yourself can make this decision, not complete strangers on a public internet forum.

    Ensure you ave evidence the Kia has been serviced at a main dealer. If not you will need evidence it has been serviced correctly.

    No evidence no 7 year warranty.

    The Kia is also less likely to have been driven like its stolen. Or to have been stolen. Or to get stolen.

    What about the Almera? No one would WANT to steal that!

    Anybody who did could claim consideration for committing the offence with diminished responsibility

    Not any more but I have had 2 golfs, a polo and skoda Octavia in the past.
    Drove a new golf when I bought my Volvo in 2009 and was totally underwhelmed by it.
    The attitude of the dealers does not help.

    op, the TSI engine has issues with the timeing chain snapping a while ago im not sure if they have fixed or upgraded them in the newer cars



    personally i would do more research on the engine you are buying and see if the warrenty cover chain before commiting to it, there are lot out there so take your time when buying (google)
    “People are caught up in an egotistic artificial rat race to display a false image to society. We want the biggest house, fanciest car, and we don't mind paying the sky high mortgage to put up that show. We sacrifice our biggest assets our health and time, We feel happy when we see people look up to us and see how successful we are”

    did they break down a lot? Dealer attitudes vary per dealer.

    never had any issues with my last two audis.

    I'm looking to replace my car, as mine is getting a little small as the children approach their teens, plus the boot is tiny.

    I have test-driven two local vehicles, a Kia Ceed 2 and a VW Golf.

    Not sure if being funny or not. I'd hardly call the boots on either of those two options particularly roomy.
