To refresh your memory, the previous Top Gear format starring Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May had a recurring segment called "Star in a reasonably priced car." Throughout the years, four cheap vehicles were used: Suzuki Liana, Chevrolet Lacetti, Kia Cee'd, and the Vauxhall Astra. A new video allows us to rekindle with the only one that had an apostrophe in its name. It’s a first-generation facelifted version of the five-door hatch.
As seen on TV from 2010 through 2013, this Kia Cee'd is one of the three cars used by the Top Gear crew. It's the only one to feature an automatic gearbox as the other two came with a manual. It has changed hands since its days on television and is the only one still being used a decade later. Save for the roll cage and Corbeau bucket seats with harnesses, it’s entirely stock.
