Kia Venga

First 1000 miles but very impressed so far. Economy is slightly disappointing but early days. I felt the diesel engine was a bit noisy but went for a ride in a new Audi costing double and got out even more pleased with the Venga. My only criticism is totally trivial but the auto door locking can be a pain. You pick someone up and you have to press the switch to let them in. For the rest the Venga seems well thought out and appears to be put together very well. Not a sporty car but suits me.

I have a Venga for about a month. I find it is an excelent buy with only two gripes.
At certain times the acceleration does not kick in and I have to change down a gear which is fine provided you are not in first gear and secondly when slowing dow, whether I use the breaks and/or gear change, the engine revs up but the speed does not increase. Its quite scary particulary approaching a bend.

It has only 5,000 km on the clock, maybe it needs time to settle.

Problems with several items, rear brakes sticking on after handbrake has been released, Indicators and emergency flashers failing,EDS , ABS and handbrake indication all on whilst driving and steering heavy. All faults clear if you switch off and start ignition again.Engine set very lean to get MPG but sounds like an old tractor, Perhaps this was not my best buy !!!although test car seemed fine.
Car has done 2000k and i will be contacting the KIA dealer to try to get a fix
