Titanic improvement but nothing snobby about Kia soft roader

Before the Manchester conference knees up the Tory top toff, Dave, was even warned by his missus he would be on short commons in the bedroom if he was caught necking the Lanson.
So, how to tell a toff from a turnip?
Obviously there is the school thing. Did one attend an alma mater which encouraged decadent dining clubs for boys who had had their jaw screws slackened and called locals oiks? (See above).
More worrying is the assumption that those who can recite great chunks of Monty Python are toffs.
Clearly because those of us in the state system could neither afford a television or have any knowlege of Tomas Hardy or cheesy comestibles, certainly not Norwegian Jarlsberg.
And our funny walks were almost certainly caused by poor diet and high altitude.
Inclusive, classless, thickness is the name of the game today. Everyone understands Little Britain because everyone understands vomit. In Monty Python the joke had to be put in the context of French fine dining.
Nobody is going to wash up at XFractor in an Overfinch Range Rover while there are still 30-foot Barbie-pink limos and Lambrini on the streets.
That's not to say that the sportage is cheap, well it is actually at £19k for the top-spec Titan, but not in a nasty way. And squire, am I pleased to be able to tell you so because that was just the problem with older versions.
Now this small 4x4 has a finish up to the standard demanded by European markets, robust, soft touch plastics and an interior that is no longer as dull as a gentle ladies' tea dance.
The introduction of a £14k two-wheel drive versions confirms the soft roader nature of Sportage but the two-litre turbo diesel Titan won't break a nail tackling shooting party level off roading.
In addition attention has been given to towing performance and the Titan will be at home among the shower blocks and ping-pong tables of an English camping holiday.
On the road you can expect high thirties to the gallon and a reasonably refined ride, not least since the gearbox was tweaked and on-road performance helped with suspension alterations and reduced wind noise although it is far from becalmed in the doldums.
The CRD won't be winning any races but 60mphin 12 seconds is acceptable.
All Sportage models are equipped with six airbags, air conditioning alloys and all round electric windows. Titan spec adds cruise control, leather upholstery, metal-effect fascia trim, tinted glass and a sunroof.
I'll make no bones about it, Kia, as its results show, ticks plenty of the right boxes since recognising the asthetic needs of fussy European drivers. Then there is that seven year warranty which protecs againt a pants down encounter with a service centre well into the years whe
Very good value, very Yorkshire. Aye, we may have been poor, but we were happy.
In the meantime as Dave demonstrated, you can deflect toff taunts with a bit of M&S for the little lady. No, no, it's a shop. Yes, near Fortnums.
