Kia Venga YN 1.4 16V (90 Hp) Hatchback 52,000 km

Problem: Clutch

The clutch was juddering during cold starts. It was replaced at 40,000 km. The disc itself was in good condition; I suspect a warped disc or a tired clutch spring. It was not covered by warranty.

Pros: Spacious interior, decent finish, sliding rear seats, flat floor when seats are folded, smooth gear changes, comfortable seats, no transmission tunnel in the rear middle, good looking.
Cons: Braking could be stronger with 4 discs, visibility (thick pillars), engine revs quickly, lacks a 6th gear or a longer 5-speed gearbox, no water temperature gauge on the dashboard., Clutch judder on cold starts, replaced at 40,000 km, disc was in good condition, suspect warped disc or tired spring, not covered by warranty.
