Dave,
I don't believe either of those are available as a diesel on this side of the pond.. May be worth checking into though. Do you get good fuel mileage out of yours? (I know in Germany you don't use our standard measuring, but I do know you're originally from over here, so.. LOL )
I was part owner of a Kia once before.. I'm pretty sure it was a Spectra (can't recall now) and engine/trans wise, it has been good to her (my ex) but she's had other issues with it.. Mostly suspension (and brakes, but that's a wear item.. just not that much.. It seems I had to do them every 4 months or so when we were together), but I have seen how she drives.. could be a pattern there.. We bought it used.. was about a year old with about 6k on it, again, IIRC.
As for buying something that needs fixed.. That's not my plan exactly.. I just know no matter what we buy, new or used, eventually, I will be working on it, so the plan is to try to find something with a pretty good rep, and not too bad to fix parts cost wise. Every vehicle I've ever had I've drove till the wheels fell off.
Even though I'd catch crap from my dad, fill me in on the Kia, if you don't mind. He's already been told no more new Chevy's for me.. The bailout was bad, but when GM's CEO goes on the national news and says "America NEEDS $10/gal gas" I'm done with them.. Used is one thing.. New.. Not so much.

All of my part books date back to 1964 and New Holland have changed some part numbers. They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
