    I do like that you don't just focus on more expensive cars, but also recognise that many people just want a car for transport and so feature basic cars like these too without being snobby about them. The variety on your channel is what keeps me returning.

      Not always. It could be low mileage but it could means lots of short journeys where someone’s stopping and starting constantly, riding the clutch, never letting the engine properly heat up. Leads to expensive repairs

    I actually have a Kia Rio 2006 5dr :), I got it for $1200CAD and the odometer had abt 160,000KM on it, so not terrible at the time, as it was during the pandemic. I've had it for 3 years now and for all that time I've loved it. It generally isn't the best on ice/snowy roads buts that's probably because I have all seasons and not winters. Eitherway it's reliable, I've only ever had to put 1 major repair into it. Just regular maintenance so far with brakes, oil change, and a sensor

    Love these videos about older cars Matt. I once bought an old Citroen AX from an old lady who had been told she couldn't drive anymore due to failing eyesight. It had clearly been cared for and, although it was up for £575, I gave her £675. She was lovely. I used it on a weekly basis for travelling from Preston to Salisbury and it never missed a beat. I sold it about two years later for £450, so I was chuffed with that.

    I had one of these with the 1500 diesel. It was pokey, even with good tyres it would always wheelspin. Cheap plastics but typical Kia build. Drive it without worrying of it breaking down, cheap for tyres and parts. Good vid mate.

      Mine is the same. I tried to pull a bit quicker on a junction and it spun wheels up to third. 1.5 crdi is definitely not for new drivers. On the other had the cost of running is low and I do around 62 MPG. Perfect work horse, just wouldn't impress the girls. 😂

    I totally agree With you, for drivers who give their car choices as much consideration as they do a washing machine. These Kia’s although quickly dated are utterly dependable. One px I had through my hands many moons ago was an Hyundai Accent, it just did exactly what a car was supposed to do basically, When you’ve handled as many cars as you and I have over the years, you realise they’re all rubbish really and designed to fail, and only loved until the next one comes along. Love your vid’s reminds me of the good old days, collecting cars 👍

    I really enjoy your "happy banger" videos, they reflect what so many people have to buy to get to work these days. I have a Picanto, £18K miles, for running around, it the same year as the Rio, similar condition, love it, it is just transport, you can leave it anywhere, drive it anywhere and there are no worries about anything. You have to drive it, not press buttons, and it is as much fun as my Boxster S, because you have to push it all the time. This is driving freedom at its best.

  • @Basexperience

    Nicely done, sir. Your change of focus onto higher throughput on lower value vehicles makes perfect sense at the moment - I guess the only difference is with lower margins (not this one, obviously!) you'll need to adapt to a higher throughput somehow. Was the front Kia badge OK? I thought I saw some wear on the black background in one of the shots.

    It’s a cute little car and the fact that it’s preserved so well is just nice.

    Great video Matt. Dont bother with an OEM radio...just replace it with an Aftermarket unit once and for all.

    So someone could have had access to a good solid cheap car, but you got in first and more than tripled the price with a clean and a service, good work, good work
