Kia Cee'd or Skoda Octavia?

I want to buy a new car and am considering a used Kia Cee'd SW or Skoda Octavia (2009-2010), but I'm concerned about the price of parts. What do you suggest I buy?

Answered by Honest John

Kia Cee'ds are made and have always been made in Slovakia, next door to the Czech Republic where Skodas are made. So it's unlikely to be any more of a problem with parts than with Skoda . And if buying a diesel, a 2009 cee'd 1.6CRDI is not only chain cam, it doesn't have a DPF. Octavia 1.6TDIs and 2.0TDIs do. Only 1.9TDIs don't.
