Looks pretty good.
Think I still prefer the looks of the i30 though, but I'm biased. Just wish they'd up the performance :)

I preferred the look of the FD over the original Cee'd, however I much prefer the sporty stance of my Cee'd to the GD, I just think the GD has too many swoops and curves and if I am honest a bit of a fat bottom.  Only my opinion though.

I'd like one, but it would have to have laser ignition.  :mrgreen:

More powerful and efficient diesel engine
The cee’d’s 1.6-litre CRDi diesel engine has also been upgraded for its application in the new GT Line variant, with power increased from 128 to 133 ps and torque from 265 to 285 Nm. With the small increase in performance, the engine’s full torque is now available from lower engine speeds for more effortless acceleration under all road conditions.

I wonder if its just a software update? And if so can I have one please.

I wish Kia would bring a diesel into the Cerato, with the 7 year warranty, I would be very close to buying.....

With that heading I was expecting something not suitable for work!  :mrgreen:

Sounds and looks like a nice vehicle though!  :goodjob:

I wouldn't even bother with that increase, you would hardly notice the difference
