Kia Venga (2009-2019) for sale near Basingstoke

Excellent car with perfect drive ability really smooth automatic

Having had 3 different Sportage models from 2011 until 2020 we swapped to a Kona Hybrid which is excellent. However we felt at our time of life we didnt need another brand new car for my wife as I already have an Ioniq 5 as a company car. We looked at various brands for about a month, both at garages and on the internet. You get to build up quiet a good picture of prices and what you get. We found the Venga to be very roomy inside and having had the previous sportages over 9 or so years the layout and controls were familiar. It is a low mileage car in excellent condition and is the top spec Venga 4, so fully loaded. This was important as we felt it would be too much of a gap with what my wife had on her Kona. The Venga has ticked the box as an excellent run around , deceptively roomy and with better driver visibility and a brighter airy cabin with the pan sunroof . It has a reversing camera and sensors so it is a breeze to park. The ride isnt quiet as good as the Kona over rougher roads, but its good enough. Research showed that the Venga although not made anymore is held in high regard by its owners, which after all is what we should be taking into account. Its very well equipped, safe and reliable, easy to drive and park, rides well over most roads and is a fraction of the cost of newer models with less on them.

After 50yrs of driving several cars I found the Kia Venga is the best I've had. It's fabulous in every respect that much so I've just bought another Kia venga 4 isg.

It is a good small mpv. I have diesel which is very economical. I think it is quite different to the competitors and I think Kia made a real error to withdraw it from their range. I will struggle to find a replacement.

I am pleased so far with the recently purchased vehicle. It has a raft of equipment that is good to have (eg heated seats, cruise control, automatic climate control) and good safety credentials. The only issue is the keyless entry system that takes getting used to, especially as the boot unlocks itself when you are in the proximity of the vehicle with the key. I had to go online and access a forum to ensure that this was normal and not a fault with the mechanism! It compares well with the Hyundai ix20 although it has a better suspension setup offset by less extras. The vehicle is spacious, reasonably fuel-efficient, It is quiet, comfortable, and very easy to drive.
