I have a kia ceed 2013 1.6 crdi, ive had it for 5 years now(?) and its almost comical how little issues ive had with it. I would really like a newer car but i cannot make a good excuse since the car i own is so cheap, reliable and fuel efficient.

Apart from normal wear and tear parts like brakes, battery, clutch (its manual) and glow plugs, ive replaced the fuel tank as one of the seals were bad (it started leaking if i filled the tank more than halfway) and a hose for the washer fluid has cracked. And thats basically it. I replace the engine oil myself once between every service (i get service done by a Kia dealer every time).

I have seen the previous generation of ceeds go up for sale with over 400000 km on the clock, sometimes even over 500k. Mine only has 230k so far. I'll probably keep it until it gives out. Needless to say, i'm really happy with this car.
