Kia Venga reviews

Its only fault is that the action to obtain first gear or reverse are very similar. Avoidance of the lifting catch for reverse is essential

very comfortable & roomy car. Fuel economy poor kia claim 50 mpg only manage 40 mpg

Bought this car second hand from Kia with 7 year guarantee. Have had a few problems which have been put right FOC. Found the car to be noisy when driving above 40mph but very quiet engine. Have a strange fault with this car which Kia do not seem to be able to cure. When you are driving all of the warning lights come on, the speedo drops to zero, the fuel guage drops to empty. This happens for a few seconds and then goes back to normal. Some times I go for weeks without this happening but other times it may happen 5/6 times on a 10 mile journey. Very off putting as all of the lights come on and causes you to look away from the road!! Probably would put me off buying another Kia.

A very well thought out car with space for passengers and cargo. The Diesel engine although very reliable and economical can be somewhat sluggish at times when you need that little bit of nippy power

Excellent value for money. Fuel returns are amazing. £30 a year road tax. 7 years warranty. Comfortable , every thing you could wish for from a medium range car. We will definately buy another when this car is 3 years old.

I cannot rate my car, a Venga 3 ecodynamic 1400cc diesel with panoramic roof, roof blinds, rear parking sensors, high enough with good driver visibility, ample leg room front and back, lowered boot compartment.our growing children more than happy!

Great drive ,Good looks,

This is a great small / medium sized car that is cheap to run, but dealer costs to keep warranties upto date can be quite expensive. It is roomy and has a high seating driving position and we have been very happy with the car in the two and a half years we have had it.

I think Kia's are excellent value for money, have a great 7 year warranty, extremely reliable and my Venga is very spacious and comfortable for a small car. This is my second Kia and I would recomend them to anyone, including badge snobs, as tehy don't know what they are missing.

Comfortable, good performance reliable.

the mpg is much lower than specified( 38.6 against 50.4) this may improve with more mileage but will need a dramatic change to come close to specification. The car is comfortable with good interior space and trim.The performance is in line with expectation for what is classed as a small MPV. Build quality is good.
