Price Range: £6,495 to £7,695
Inexpensive, 1.0-litre's running costs.
1.1-litre exceeds 120g/km of CO2, tiny boot, poor ride.
Cheap, unassuming way of getting from A to B, but there are better, more-rounded city cars out there.
In a class where most of the competition have four stars in Euro NCAP tests - and some of the new breed even have the maximum five - the Kia lags behind with its three-star crash performance.
Standard safety equipment is limited to two airbags, Isofix anchor points in the rear for baby seats and a Thatcham-approved engine immobiliser.
