While it’s true that you never get a second chance to make a first impression, I’ve often found it no bad thing. The second impression can be so powerful that all those original thoughts, whether good or bad, can be swept away.

Now I wasn’t quite sure what to make of Kia’s first estate car, the Cee’d SW, mainly because Kia’s have never found themselves high on my radar. Not because I don’t think they’re worthy of my attention, just that they’ve never really grabbed it before. (I have since experienced the delights of the Sorento and the fun of the Venga, so Kia please forgive my earlier naivety)

The Kia Cee’d initially struck me as being inoffensive, innocuous and rather plain, in a no-nonsense Ford Focus type of way. The colour we had can’t have meant to inspire either, even if my mother thought it very elegant.

So while my first impression was rather luke warm to say the least, within seconds of driving it I was hooked and everything about the car took on a different hue. This must be the easiest car I have ever driven. More >
