    Like the new Kia Soul
    Its got that boxy shape kinda Nissan cubish, Daihatsu Materiaish but think it looks a lot cooler.
    Anyway my main gripe is its 9995 Uk pounds in the UK which equates to about 11,000 euro

    11000 euro not a bad price for a car like that.

    But over here in RIP off Ireland ( I know we have higher VAT and theres VRT to consider).

    I was shocked to discover (well not really ) the retail price was 19995 euro not including delivery and related charges which brings it to over 20K, surely VAT and VRT does not come to an extra 9000 euro!
    Its as if they just said stick another 1 in front of the UK price and they'll pay it anyway.

    Personally i think its worth about 16K ish .

    Kia UK site says from STG£10495 OTR which is closer to €11700 at the xe rate (so add another 1% or so).

    10-15% could concievebly drop off the exchange rate dependig on how the markets go so that would eat up some of the difference. Theres always been a difference it's just that sterling has weakened so much in recent months.

    Also, the prices arent all just made up using the UK OTR price as a base and working from there.
