Used Ford C-Max for £6695 or used KIA Cee'd for £10,000?

I'm looking at a Ford C-Max Zetec 2.0-litre petrol automatic on a 56 plate (2007 trim) for £6695, with 18,500 miles. I can't find anything specific about 2-litre petrol automatics. Are they ok and is this a fair price? I'm also looking at a KIA Cee'd 1.6 automatic, petrol, 2009 plate with 2,600 miles for £10,000. Is this car good?

Yes the C-MAX is a good choice and this is a good price. The 2.0-litre petrol engine is a decent choice too with the automatic box. The KIA Cee'd is a well built and good value hatchback that also comes with a long warranty.
