That's just a new take on the Rodius, which was also a horror!

At least your dealer tried to do something when mine wouldn't. I know Hyundai own Kia and underneath they are the same but it looks like your experiences show that they try more than the parent company, or do they just know it was all a waste of time trying anyway.

My daughter had a Hyundai, only had it for a few days, they have a design fault with the accelerator/throttle body; constant jerking when pulling away. D

Ford KAK.
Only vehicle of any kind I have ever seen from the first to the latest model, that there was and is absolutely nothing about it I like/d.
Drive one, would rather suck diarrhea through a sweaty sock.

Unfortunately the "designer" of the Rodius was a Brit from the Royal College of Art (of the p take kind ).

Yep they're an ugly looking little runt of a car............... but, are actually good to drive and quite fun. Basically a Fiesta Mk4 chassis which was always a nice drive. The KA was lumbered with a crappy old engine though. The Sport KA was a hoot to drive, but still gopping ugly.

That and they used to rust like a 1970's Lancia!

I once owned a Beta - big mistake.

A scandle from which they never really recovered. Very nearly bought a HPE Volumex many years ago, sometimes wish I had as rust issues had been sorted by then.

One thing I would feel a right prize plum driving would be an X6 or any other of these totally pointless large SUVs with a sloping back. WTF is the point of a massive car with no room inside.

Status, that's what.
