Vehicle question

Unsure where to post. Has anyone on the forum got a KiaCeed Estate? If so give me: the good, the bad, the ugly! My Astra Estate is 15 years old, worth  less than its fuel haha. We've found a few, seem to be popular. Don't like the idea of Cazoo similar, want to look at it,and test drive

    Just say @Nanny Beach, that if you don't have a local Kia dealership, you can test drive the car for 7 days with Cazoo and get a full refund if you're not happy. 
    A neighbour did that, wasn't happy with the mini he'd chosen and did that no trouble. I daresay there are others who have had problems though, that's the nature of the beast.

    He ended up getting a Fiat through Cinch, but would have used Cazoo again if they'd had the model he was after.

    Hi Anni,we do have a Kia dealership. Looked through the Ts and C's with Cazoo, firstly says the car has all these bells and whistles,THEN says, this is the new model, yours might not have all these extras(no, not interested in the extras) finally showed "damage",but frankly even with a rule shown next to dents and scratches, doesn't really help. The dealership doesn't have an estate,to try out. To be honest, don't like the idea of test for a week, anyone whose hired a car,knows, although pictures are taken, drawing done,THEN they say they're withholding your deposit, because XWZ wasn't as bad as it now is.its a big purchase (secondhand obviously) but still going to wipe out our savings. Therefore hoping to "chat" to someone who has one .sorry, perhaps my post wasn't clear,was asking about owners of the Ceed Estate, not whether online car purchase was a good idea

    Is it a new one you're after (or nearly new - latest model's about 4yrs old i think)?
    Got neighbours with one a couple of years old,  they haven't got a bad word to say about it.
    It feels well-built, and rear space is massive! I'm guessing you're not bothered by its (ahem) quirky looks, or that the name "sportwagon" is most definitely an oxymoron 🙂

    Thanks Mikey,new....no way,(I did put second hand) never buy a new car. Was looking at 2019 plates, I must have missed the quirky shape,an estate is an estate to me. We have 2 dogs, grandkids 11 and 12,we transport frequently (another in the oven)compost et Al.

     MikeyWere you thinking of the Sportage" I really like the look of it,bit it's not big enough, I wouldn't get my 2 dog crates in the back
     I transport grandkids,with school stuff,scooters,golf clubs, occasionally a bike
