The one that you chose as bad, I tell you that it was very good for the beginning, derived from the Mazda 323, it was also a very good car, (that's the KIA that made me look at KIA), I think that the "Kiamaster" applies better to its horrible beginnings.

Remember that we talked about the launch of the Nivus, now being in Uruguay I see them even in the soup, I understand that it is the best-selling SUV type here, and in person it seems to me to be one of the most complete VAG products, much more preferable to the T Roc's-European's that also abound here, the Nivus is a vehicle that I would certainly consider buying for daily use, based solely on its appearance, I haven't driven any yet,
