What Car magazine’s first drive of the 2012 KIA Ceed concludes that its competitive pricing and Kia's seven-year warranty are a potent draw, that the Cee'd is a handsome, well-equipped car with excellent handling. However, its Hyundai i30 relation - smoother-riding and subjectively livelier - is more pleasing to drive.

Interesting Allan, i was just reading how they state the 133bhp petrol does not feel like it has 133bhp & has to be worked hard.
a lot of people just look at power output & not The Torque or @ what rev the torque starts to develop & how high the torque curve goes. from my experience, you can't feel HP you mostly only feel Torque, when a motor hits its Torque curve you feel a thrust forward. if a motor needs to rev high to reach it's Torque curve i call that lazy. & it does not excite me. but this is when i'm driving a manuel. Auto's are a different breed. i still prefer manual myself.
The new 130 looks great! also yesturday i was riding my Harley to get the feel of it as i'm raceing in a championship next weekend ( straigh line ). anyway i came up behind this new looking Kia Rio & from the rear like its rear window its tail lights & roof line also the side rear window it had a similar look to the new 130 pic's you posted. looks like Hyundai have been busy!!
the thing i like about the new 130 styling is the tail lights and rear window & side rear windows are more pleasing to look at , i like nice round curves, my 130 has some sharp points, if you understand my meaning. but as i'm more a person that only gets excited about how they feel when you drive them. i would have to test drive.
