5 out of 5 stars

For Good value; good to drive and comfortable; long warranty

Against Rarer than rivals; questionable cabin materials; road noise

Verdict It's not the most exciting of hatchbacks, but is capable and affordable.

Go for… 1.6GS/2

Avoid… 2.0 CRDI Sport

1. There's good passenger space in the front and back, with only the middle rear seat a little cramped. The boot is a good size and usable shape.
2. The Cee'd isn't as refined as the class leaders, but wind and road noise aren't intrusive. Even though the cabin materials aren't the highest quality, the Cee'd feels well built.
3. Low CO2 emissions keep road tax down, with only the 1.6-litre petrol models producing more than 150g/km. Both 1.6-litre diesels manage an impressive 119g/km.
4. Kia's seven-year warranty on the Cee'd will save you repair bills if anything fails, although you're not covered for items such as brakes, clutches and exhausts.
5. The Cee'd was originally supplied with Michelin Energy tyres, which are designed to improve fuel economy, but these can wear out in under 20,000 miles, so check them carefully.
