The Kia Picanto may look small on the outside but it's super- spacious on the inside.
It's got everything you could need for day after day of happy driving including power steering for squeezing into those tight space, ABS and EBD braking systems for those twisty lanes and 5 doors as standard for a big night out with the girls - or guys.
And let's not forget all those nifty little safety gadgets including child seat anchor points and twin airbags. Or the handy 60/40 fold-down seats, ideal for when your shopping trip gets a bit out of hand.
Plus the Kia Picanto comes fully loaded with both a CD and MP3 player. So now you can sing in the car as well as the shower.
What can we say about the supermini that's got it all?
Kia Rio Hatchback

We could try and impress you with its air conditioning, CD audio with MP3 player, central locking and front electric windows.
Or even seduce you with its fancy features such as driver's seat height adjustment, power steering and a huge 1,145 litre boot - think gym bag and DIY gear.
All that's very nice. But when it comes down to it, you might just fall for the Rio because it's got great looks and more personality than a celebrity gameshow.
And with the new Rio being Euro 4 compliant you know you're being kinder to the environment too.
Urban jungle or country roads? Weekend camping trips or major shopping expeditions? Picking the kids up from school or - even better - dropping them off with the in-laws for the weekend?
The Sportage has the flexibility to handle pretty much every situation. Just check-out these stats:
ABS and EBD braking systems to help you stop fast when you need to. Traction control. Twin front ,side and curtain airbags. Air conditioning. 16" alloy wheels. 60:40 'one-touch' flat-folding rear seats (ideal for storing large packages or nagging in-laws). Immobiliser and perimeter alarms to keep nasty so-and-so's at bay. CD audio with MP3 player for your listening pleasure.
And as if that wasn't enough - it looks really cool too.
Life is about compromises. Or is it? The new Carens gives you the flexibility to do whatever you want. The styling has a fresh and contemporary perspective. Body coloured bumpers, door handles and mirrors, multi-reflector light clusters and chunky roof rails all create a reassuring feeling of solidity and security. open the door and you get another perspective - a remarkably roomy interior.
Available with a choice of either 5 or 7 seats the Carens is a highly flexible compact MPV that easily adapts to your changing life........the school run.............a family trip out........bringing home that flat pack furniture for your next project. And as you'd expect from Kia, the Carens is packed full of safety features.
The Carens now also comes with a 5 year unlimited mileage warranty, a 6 year anti-perforation warranty and a KIAssist roadside assistance package provided by the RAC (which even covers mainland Europe). You can also take advantage of our free insurance++ for the first seven days.
It's pronounced Kia 'seed' in case you're wondering. Unlike many invented car names, we think it's rather appropriate.
Designed by Europeans. Tested on Europeans. And made in a brand new purpose built factory in Europe. During development the top secret project was known simply as 'ED' - for European Design - and the 'CE' part was soon added as shorthand for the Community of Europe.
In a nutshell, it means it's been created using the latest technology and most advanced quality control systems. Backed by a 7 year manufacturer's warranty - the longest you'll find on any car in Europe - we're confident cee'd is a name that's going to be around for a very long time.
Could this be the model that finally breaks Kia into the hot hatch market? The Korean company has a reputation for offering practicality at a good price, but is now preparing to move into the performance arena with a new three-door evolution of the Cee’d.
People with a bit of savvy (or savoir faire, as we like to say) know that you don't have to plan a bank-job to get executive luxury.
The Magentis has all the best in luxury features including a choice of three engines - 2.0L diesel and petrol engines and a 2.7 V6 engine, remote locking, electric windows and acres of space in the back.
It's big on safety too with ABS and EBD braking systems for when you need to stop fast as well as traction control on our LS model, plus six airbags fitted as standard. It's also got air-conditioning - ideal for those heated negotiations with customers, colleagues...or the kids for that matter.
The Magentis is the low-priced, high-powered saloon for people who understand phrases like 'Return On Investment' or just know a good deal when they see one.
Ever dream about heavenly luxury at a down-to-earth price? Well think no further than the all new Sedona. This large MPV is all you could ever need for you and your growing tribe.
It's got seven - count them - seven flexible seats. Twin sliding rear doors so you can get in and out easily from either side, twin, front side and full length curtain airbags, remote central locking, roof rails and tri-zone controlled air conditioning. It's even got ABS and EBD braking systems, which help you stop - especially when it's wet. Plus it comes fully equipped with a CD and MP3 player so you can drown out the sound of kids squabbling in the back.
In fact, the Sedona is a dream for every family. Remember - it's all about togetherness.
The Sorento is an inspiring sight on the road with imposing alloy wheels, the option of colour-coded bumpers and the sleek, purposeful new design. But it's equally impressive on the inside too with air conditioning as standard and a CD audio with MP3. It also has a high-quality interior finish, including a new dash design and more legroom in the back.
And with a tough, low ratio gearbox to get you over the most challenging terrain, the Sorento has everything you'll ever need for town or country.
Soul springs forward
Kia Soul will go on sale in the UK in the spring with a choice 126 ps diesel and petrol engines based on the DOHC engines already fitted to the European-built, Kia cee'd – with a choice of manual or automatic transmissions, depending on the model.
The diesel engine generates 126ps at 4,000rpm and maximum torque of 255Nm at 2,000rpm. The aluminium petrol engine also produces 126ps at 6,300rpm and 156Nm of torque at 4,200rpm.
