Oh I’ve beaten you this time Matt, I just bought a 2011 sportage kx3 160k miles (with heated seats front and back and Panasonic roof with half of it opening) myself for £2200 of some bloke on Facebook marketplace. After buying it I gave it a service and got the brakes all done for £400 but the mechanic said it looked good. So very pleased with it so far. Only other thing is the rear view camera is broken and one of the parking sensors is faulty so it has a continuous beep. But those are 2 things I’ll get round to fixing myself that’ll only be about £50 in parts. You’re not wrong about the wheels though. The ones on mine are a total state 😂 I don’t care too much though

I currently own a Kia Soul 2012. It only has 80000km on it. A wheel was damaged to the point it had to be replaced. 650 pounds to replace, BMW wheels are cheaper. And no centre cap included. Servicing is more expensive than a X3 BMW and it's not great on fuel. My mothers 2021 kia get great fuel economy but her bonnet if it had to be replaced costs more than a 2021 C class, and so does the servicing. So yeah I'm not buying a kia again she loves them but I'm not a fan after owning one for 3 years.

Kia is a great brand these days. I own a 2017. Ceed estate and it never failed me. It's still under warranty until october and i'm gonna stick with Kia for the next car and for sure it will be a Sportage. Funny enough the day i bought it i was on my way to look at a Škoda Octavia but made a turn to check out the dealership on my way down. I don't need a super expensive vehicle for my short trips to work and occasional weekend trip or shopping and Kia turned out to be a super decent and reliable vehicle that have me more than enough for the money i paid.

@stephenconway2468 Ай бұрын

Hi. If you look at the towing capacity and consider horse trailering then you need a good car and a permanent tow bar. A reasonable sports horse is 650 kg. A double horse trailer would end up at 2,200 kg for trailer and horse but MOST likely you'd need 2,400 minimum and up to 3,000kg in reality. So if you like this market, look for machines that can handle the weight legally and not those that look like they should!
