Kia Shuma Feedback

[Taskedo]

I passed this Kia Shuma on the motorway (being driven by an over 70 as normal), I couldn't work out what it was (if anything) based on, Rover 400..not sure. So I Googled it later and found some interesting owner feedback:

Kia Shuma 1.8GLX 2004

Good quality and cheap, the 1.8 GLS averages 38mpg in town, 28mpg whilst towing caravan. It puts a lot of boy racers to shame; 130 mph top speed but quite noisy at cruising speed and too much cold air comes into cab so heater has to be on to keep ambient temp. Air Con is a bonus, so are the leather seats. It tows a 1-ton caravan with ease, holds corners like glue - a very under estimated car. I have spent a bit of money spent on it - k+n filter, janspeed exhaust, turbo, lowering kit. This 1.8 will shift!

If you did want to draw attention to the fact that you have such a performance car there are styling/performance enhancing modifications available:

I'm sure a Korean manufacturer had a go at making a proper luxury car recently but I can't remember what it was. Meant to make a note to myself to buy one when it was £2K in 3 years time!
