 A spying double today - lancara
Was at my Kia/Toyota dealer today having recall work done on the cee'd brakes, when demo versions of the Kia Sportage and Toyata Auris Hybrid were delivered. Sportage was quickly whisked away, so didn't get a good look - instant verdict - make sure you order rear parking sensors because the rear window appears minute. Given the delivery delays on the similar iX35, I think you'll be waiting a long time for one.

The Auris looked impressive - the first of the hybrids not to shout "look at my green credentials" - just some discrete change of badges from the normal Auris (is there a more anonymous car?). Also the same drive train as the Prius but in a lighter body and a lower price. Boot appears to be small at first glance but there is a very large and deep underfloor tray

Ah! So many choices.

Only applied to certain cee'ds:

I think UK owners involved have been notified by Kia. I picked it up on one of the UK websites and asked my local dealer here in Spain if it applied to LHD models. He agreed, and work done this afternoon - doesn't appear to be a formal recall procedure here!
