Mike, I saw that list in Auto Express. They also said that overall the Golf (all models) hit the top spot for most stolen car in the UK ....... if I remember correctly or incorrectly. 

Now, nobody steals or vandalises a Kia, my next car.

We have a kia cee'd and a hyundai i10(new kia picanto in drag) in our family. They replaced a VW golf and a polo. The owners could not be happier with there new family run abouts. No rattles, no creaks + great customer service from the dealers too.

I'm looking for a car for my wife and I had not actually considered Kia so on your say so Snoops, I'll see what they offer.

Kia Picanto. Great looking car. Good reviews. Stay away from the Polo. Ful lof problems. ARC Bodyshop had to sent 4 out of 7 back as they were full of faults.

Never really even considered them so I'll go and kick some tyres. Mrs AGB likes the looks of the new Fiesta Titanium/Zetec (white) and Polo GTI (white) and I agree that both are good looking cars but the Polo price is beyond ridiculous. She may feel that the Kia looks like a 'clown car', a blueprint many city cars seem to embrace. If she was more confident in a car and experienced, I'd be able to get something exotic with 2 seats and an Amorak or Tiguan for the 'lifting and shifting'.

You'd be very surprised by the Kia Picanto. Go and have a look. It is a 4 star car. Designed by Peter Schreyer who designed the TT.

PS: Sent you a massive e-mail!

I have the Hyundai i10, is the same as the New picanto..... Great 2nd car

Well, there is a happy ending. My nephew found his car tonight in a Resident's Parking bay purely by accident on his way back from the cinema. He had forgotten where he had parked it! If he had not gone to the cinema tonight, and he rarely does, the car would probably never have been discovered! Dizzy b!tch.

Mike: Found the article in Auto Express. It says that the Golf is the most vandalised car in the Uk. However, you are correct regarding specific car models of certain makes. So I presume they mean all Golf models. :smile:

Sorry but when my car was in the body shop I had a Kia Picanto for the week I could not drive it by the second day and the missus had t take it back, quite a bit of spec on it cd player with aux in/ipod, elec windows front and rear, abs all the extra's but it was just not nice to drive.
