The Honda and Kia are both fine, but in the old city where we live the shorter length makes a difference when finding a parking space. Also, the Honda's technology without a CVT is more advanced. The Honda is cheaper in road tax.

The Honda has been facelifted just like the Toyota; in terms of powertrains the 1.5 VTEC four-cylinder in the Honda is flawless, versus a more recent 1.5 three-cylinder in the Toyota that looks promising, but in terms of dealerships there are more for Toyota...

The little-known Japanese: versatile and very roomy, in the tradition of the old MPVs sacrificed on the altar of stupid SUVs.
And when it comes to the competition, there’s no contest between a reliable Honda powertrain that really consumes what it promises — even less at times — and a pure all-show PSA unit that drinks far more fuel than advertised.

Fast, dynamic, very versatile. Boot just adequate but interior space excellent, even for people taller than 1.90 m. Fairly quiet and quite frugal on fuel. Sturdy and very reliable. Downsides: brakes and suspension noisy during manoeuvres, engine effective but noisy under acceleration. If driven with a bit of care, it's not hard to reach 30 km/l in town.
