This doesnt look so good...


"A 1.1 diesel is offered in continental Europe, but won't be offered in RHD form as Kia doesn't think it offers any benefit with regards to CO2 emissions or economy. "

Maybe KIA have changed their minds?

I was hoping dropping the SE was just a rhumour. Ah well seems not. I am really dissapointed in KIA for doing this, there are loads of SE's on the roads at the moment and they are a good option for people looking for cars with a great deal of kit. What do they think people are going to do when their car gets to three years old? trade it in for a 'Glamour' or whatever it is. What they needed to do was keep it as it was, add the glamour and a sports model as well, perhaps with a Grille Kit, but definately with a bigger engine. I know that I wouldn't want to buy the same car with lower spec for the same money, or even the same car with lower spec. I would have replaced it with the same car when the time came.

Its sad but true, I think most SE owners will go elsewhere......

Sad now....
