I like this car, it looks good. What should I say? Design made by a hungarian designer, Miklos Kovacs.
(Looks like a facelifted Corolla, lol)

Here you go!

Can you read German?

WoW! Thanks a lot, dude!
Nein, mein deutsch ist schlecht , so will you please write a little review?

 

[DeDe]

Fantastic! Thanks again!

"Uncomfortable" > However: best acceleration, and high quality interior! That's the point (for me)

Four of five stars isn't really bad for such a car!!

Here is what they said about the Kia Cee'd.

Developed in Rüsselsheim (where Opel is), built in Zilina. The car feels very European but only loses this comparison because of the poor comfort.

+ Good quality interior
+ Good engine performance + torque
+ Good top speed
+ Excellent load capacity (1500 kg+)
+ Good standard features
+ Good price

-5-speed manual transmission is vague
- Very noisy engine at higher speeds
- No options packages
- The suspension could be better, very hard
