buyers will know about, Kia is also the fastest developing new car brand in the UK at this time. The company actually
commenced trading in 1944 as a manufacturer of steel tubing and bicycles and is that nation's oldest carmaker. Its
name is said to be Korean for "Arising out of Asia". In 1952, Kia changed its name from Kyungsung Precision Industry
and later built motorcycles, trucks and cars. Starting in 1986, in partnership with Ford, Kia produced several Mazda
derived vehicles for both domestic sales in Korea and imports into other countries. These models included the Pride
and Avella, which were both sold in North America and Australia as the Ford Festiva and Ford Aspire. The company
succumbed to bankruptcy in 1997, as part of the implosion of that part of the world's economy. However, its shares
were bought by Hyundai, which had survived the crash as a result of its significantly broader industrial base and
wealth, outbidding Ford Motor Company, which had owned a stake in Kia from 1986. Its UK representation has moved from
concessionaire status to company-owned less than two years ago and its products, although relatively inexpensive and
budget priced, have been through a programme of continous improvement to make them more European in appeal.
Interestingly, Kia would appear to have overtaken Hyundai's reputation and volume status in the UK new car scene, as a
result of a wealth of new models being introduced in recent times." If you are looking for a good used or nearly new
