Review: Kia Picanto X-Line
Early last year Kia invited me to Tuscany for the launch of their new 3rd generation Picanto. I had a great time, not because I was in Italy, but the Picanto itself was fun, agile and a great little car to drive.
A year later, and the latest addition to the Picanto range, the All-New Picanto X-Line hits the showrooms, and is hoped to further

Review: All NEW Kia Picanto
Like other small cars, the Picanto has never been on my radar. It isn't huge, it doesn't have a big V8, nor does it have any kind of 4x4 system, so why did I fly all the way down to Grosseto, Italy to drive one then?

Review: 2016 ALL NEW Kia Sportage
In our mind, the outgoing Sportage still looks as fresh as a daisy, which is testament to its designer, ex-Audi designer Peter Schreyer who also had a hand in styling the new model. Retaining its sloping roofline, bulging arches and minimal glass, the new model is still recognisable as a Sportage, but with a more ………

Review: 2015 Kia Soul ‘Mixx’ 1.6 CRDi
In 2013, the second generation Soul arrived with greater interior space in a revitalised higher quality cabin. It handled better too, thanks to a new chassis that’s based on the C’eed’s and its SUV Crossover styling is more dramatic thanks to…
Review: 2015 Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDI KX-3
The Sorento is Kia’s flagship vehicle and is said to have changed the way the world saw Kia when it was launched back in 2002. Now in its third incarnation, the Sorento marks the start of the next stage in Kia’s transformation from a purely value-driven company into a world-class manufacture of premium quality cars. Question is, has it succeeded?…..
Review: 2015 Kia Sportage, 2ltr CRDI KX4 AWD
It’s been said that the Kia Sportage has taken the SUV world by storm since its introduction back in 2010, and it isn’t difficult to see why as the Sportage still looks good with its sleek body, elegant lines and of course Kia’s 7 year, 100,000-mile warranty…
