Hi Guys, i agree with you,s about the Venga s 1.4 diesel,mine goes well...when its going well,but suffers from 'The Issue'!!!, and agree ,it does sound a bit more gruff than my dads ceed 1.6crdi did.
The 1.6 pulls smoother,and quieter than the 1.4, so i hope kia put it in the venga one day!,if it will fit in??
Kia are beginning to take the p*** with their pricing now,and yes they are going to extra lengths to prove themselves worthy in the car market,but they are still branded as a 'cheap korean ' manufacturer,which they need to try and shake off in other ways than hike up prices.
I cant help feeling that we also pay for the 7 year warranty the minute we sign on the dotted line!
For example,the venga being priced over the equivilant rivals in the same class.
I also really hope that the venga s build quality improves now that Kia slovakia are building it,as i am not impressed by Hyundai s efforts on my car, in 7000 miles, it has been recovered by breakdown lorry back to the dealer 6 times,and had a new steering column,steering wheel, and severlal nuts and bolts tightened.The quality is way behind that of the ceed.
James.
