Dave,
I don't believe either of those are available as a diesel on this side of the pond.. May be worth checking into though. Do you get good fuel mileage out of yours? (I know in Germany you don't use our standard measuring, but I do know you're originally from over here, so.. LOL )
I was part owner of a Kia once before.. I'm pretty sure it was a Spectra (can't recall now) and engine/trans wise, it has been good to her (my ex) but she's had other issues with it.. Mostly suspension (and brakes, but that's a wear item.. just not that much.. It seems I had to do them every 4 months or so when we were together), but I have seen how she drives.. could be a pattern there.. We bought it used.. was about a year old with about 6k on it, again, IIRC.
As for buying something that needs fixed.. That's not my plan exactly.. I just know no matter what we buy, new or used, eventually, I will be working on it, so the plan is to try to find something with a pretty good rep, and not too bad to fix parts cost wise. Every vehicle I've ever had I've drove till the wheels fell off.
Even though I'd catch crap from my dad, fill me in on the Kia, if you don't mind. He's already been told no more new Chevy's for me.. The bailout was bad, but when GM's CEO goes on the national news and says "America NEEDS $10/gal gas" I'm done with them.. Used is one thing.. New.. Not so much.
