DreamWeaver Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I am heading to Leicester this morning to inspect a 6-month-old xceed 1.5 3 model with 1150 miles on the odometer. The Kia demo vehicle is expected to be accurate and precise, however there is a possibility that it may not meet expectations. The automobile is a new model in black and is quite aesthetically pleasing. I should possess more wisdom than to purchase a vehicle of a dark hue, although I remain a youthful and audacious person of 58 years of age.🤣🤣 I will evaluate the performance of the vehicle before I exchange my Sportage for it. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForumGuru Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 There is nothing inherently problematic with owning a black automobile. Personally, I have had three black cars in the past and just sold my black Ford Focus eight weeks ago. I had initially planned to get a black XCeed GT-Line S, but then I came across a Lunar Grey one that was already available, had been used for 5 weeks, and had 600 miles on it. The best part was that it was £5500 less than the brand new one I was considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamWeaver Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 The hue "lunar grey" is aesthetically pleasing. We had a 21 sport waggon in that very colour. I have a strong affinity for lustrous, highly reflective surfaces, particularly those with a deep gloss finish. However, I find it difficult to appreciate black and gloomy tones. This item is priced at 19,000, which is a significant discount compared to its original price. One can only hope that the actual appearance of the place matches the visual representation shown in the photographs and videos that were shared with me.

Geek2232 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 What is the price of this item? Is it a manual? I have noticed that Kia is increasing the pricing of its authorised used cars. Why do you have a dislike for the colour black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpaco45 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Black, white, and other similar colours are indistinguishable. They get equally filthy and need the same amount of time to clean. The most important aspect is the way it performs on the road. 😍 Currently, there is a substantial amount of dust and pollen in the environment. However, the rainfall yesterday brought an abrupt halt to that situation. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blu_Ray_UK2007 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I agree that the soil must be same, yet, the black vehicle seemed to maintain a cleaner appearance for a longer duration. During my daily commute, a black automobile would remain clean for a whole week without requiring any cleaning. The white automobile seemed quite dirty after only one day. The dust I referred to was atypical in nature. One would have assumed that this substance had been used as a protective layer, making it more difficult to remove than typical dust. The sight brought back memories of the time when the nearby power plant would clean out their tanks, resulting in the accumulation of black, sooty residue on the windows of houses.

Motoman Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Personally, I would not have any involvement with a black automobile under any circumstances. The colour of my first vehicle, which was manufactured in 1971, was black. Since then, I have not had any more automobiles of the same colour. In my opinion, a silvery grey hue is the optimal colour choice for minimising the visibility of dirt. Currently, we own two automobiles that are of a medium shade of blue. These cars are not in excellent condition, however one of them has a two-tone design with a silver bottom half that is somewhat better.

DreamWeaver Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 I have had autos of various colours. I really like the act of washing vehicles and motorcycles since it provides me with a sense of relaxation and tranquilly. I was looking for a dark red colour, namely the Infusion red shade, but there are not many available with low mileage. I was on the verge of purchasing a light blue vehicle with a 23 plate from Car Shop Northampton for a price of 17.5k. However, I discovered that the vehicle has accumulated 14500 kilometres and is 14 months old without having had any servicing. Despite consulting my local Kia store, they informed me that the recommended service interval for these vehicles is either 12 months or 10,000 miles. It is advisable to get the car serviced immediately to avoid any future issues. It is unfortunate, since the car's appearance in that colour is rather impressive.

DreamWeaver Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 It is the appropriate time to depart and inspect the condition of the automobile. The journey is expected to last around one hour and fifteen minutes. Leicester is an ideal location to establish a traffic light supply company. With the potential for significant growth, one might amass a fortune within a few years. Additionally, the weather in Leicester is often dry, which may be seen as a favourable condition.

Motoman Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Wishing you the best of luck, DreamWeaver. Leicester is not an enjoyable destination to visit. A few years back, we attended an airshow nearby and unfortunately had the experience of travelling into Leicester to purchase foldable chairs. It is the place when I effectively joined the RAF 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrishazle Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I have had both a black automobile and a white car. While they do look great when they are clean, they can be rather troublesome. since previously said, a silver or light grey car is the most practical choice since it does not show dirt as easily. Unless you like washing your car every day, it is advisable to choose for a lighter colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevorseaf Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Observe any car park and you will see a predominance of dark grey or black vehicles, with just a handful being white. The colour of my last automobile was shiny black, which gave it a sleek and stylish appearance. When purchasing a pre-owned Niro, I specifically sought a colour other than white (due to the hassle of keeping a white vehicle clean) and avoided red, since I have observed that some older red cars tend to fade to a pinkish hue. The local dealership had few colour options available, with red being the only hue that did not need an additional fee. We travelled to a more distant location and purchased an item of the colour blue. Although it may not be eye-catching, it is more convenient to locate in the parking lot.

ForumGuru Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 That accurately describes me. While in the automobile dealership, we were on the verge of placing an order for a new vehicle. The salesperson inquired about our colour preference, to which I said, "Any colour other than white." I desired a blue automobile, and my significant other agreed to it, under the condition that we were purchasing a new vehicle. I inquired about his preference, since I was indifferent towards the hue, and he reiterated his choice of black. The XCeed is now available in the basic shade of red at no additional cost.

QuirkEinstein Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I own the latest Xceed GT-Line model with a sleek 'Phantom Black' exterior finish. The object has an exquisite, aesthetically pleasing, attention-grabbing, and lustrous black colour. The only disadvantage is that it is very susceptible to revealing any little scratches, such as when manoeuvring past another vehicle on a small rural road and inadvertently making slight contact with a portion of a hedgerow. The light scrape reveals the white primer. However, with white or silver, the visibility may be less pronounced. Despite using Black T-Cut and a brand wax, the scratch remains evident. However, I have a strong affinity for the deep and intense black hue that Kia employs in its vehicles. Nevertheless, it would be beneficial if the paint thickness could be increased by a few microns. You will really like it. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamWeaver Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 I just acquired a stunning new Kia Xceed in the elegant colour of phantom black. 😊 The car operates flawlessly without any problems. Now, I will proceed to drive home. Ecstatic young male 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
