Is a Kia Cee'd automatic reliable?
I am considering buying a 2014 Kia Cee'd automatic. Is it reliable or is there any other car that would be suitable? I do around 5,000 miles per year and need a seat that helps my dodgy back.

We've had a few minor issues reported with that generation of Kia Cee'd but generally it's a very reliable car: www.honestjohn.co.uk/kia/ceed/2012/good
The gearbox is pretty robust and should be more dependable than the automatic transmission you'd get in a Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf of the same age. As an alternative, we'd recommend looking at the Honda Civic.
