downsizing has its drawbacks.

Got off to a sticky start on discovering no spare wheel which the salesman omitted to mention....just a pot of gunge and some kind of pump. Had to order a proper spare costing £250! The car seems okay so far apart from one serious problem; the front head restraints are raked so far forward that I (and my wife in the front passenger seat) find our heads are always tilted further forward than we find comfortable. I have complained to Kia about this and got a polite negative response. These head restraints have no adjustment facility so I may have to get used to driving with my chin on my chest!

The car drives fine although I would have preferred a little more power from the engine. So far after only 1600 miles the average mpg is about 38 so this should improve.
