Kia Pro Ceed GT
Discussion
Hi, here is my 2015 Pro Ceed GT.
Was after something a little smaller after having a titannum x mondeo so went for the Korean hatchback as it ticked a fair few boxes.
Wasn't over fussed about getting a fast hatch, was more interested in cabin spec and this has heated seats/steering wheel, cruise, speed limiter, sat nav with speed camera notification. This just felt a decent all rounder.

Yeah they certainly have. My dad has had a Sportage for a few years and he brought it new, it's not put a foot wrong since he purchased it.
Got some abuse from work lads after i purchased the Kia (they have Audi's/Merc's) as it wasn't a top name brand, but all of them have admitted that upon seeing the actual car they are impressed.

I like that, but those side stripes must surely be a dealer-fit option and one that needs to come back off again. You've more than ticked the originality box by buying a bright yellow Kia, there's no need to try any harder and ruin the look of the car with the stripes, but that's all just my opinion.
Cool wee cars though. Never got much of a reception, I assume because the numbers on paper are down on other more full-on hot hatches.. but I'm sure they still drive very well and will be ultra reliable too. I look forward to seeing what happens and whether you fit any upgrades to it.
Cheers,
Grant

I was unsure about the stripes at first and they are a dealer fitted already on the car when I purchased it and are just vinyl over the paint work. They've grown on me and look better in the flesh.
As for the drive am impressed, actually feel fresher after a long drive then I used to driving my mondeo. Seats and the seating position are absolutely spot on.
As for upgrades etc, not sure at the minute. Don't want to void the warranty so thinking about either a pedal box or a chip box rather then a remap.

I'll say it - no, they don't. Great cars - but the combination of yellow and red is utterly awful. The flat yellow is awful, but with the red stripes, it's even more awful - looks like a delivery van.In white, with the red accents, looks a million times better.
Sorry, don't want to piss on your bonfire, but that is awful.

is it yellow or orangey can't tell but remind me of the focus st colour? Stickers, loads of cars have them nowadays don't see a problem.
they look like a good package and nice to see something different on the roads. not everyone wants a grey/black/white car.
What is like to handle?

handling wise it's absolutely spot on even thought the steering is electric you get enough feedback to always feel in control.

My wife will be changing her car in a few months time and she is looking at, amongst others, the Kia Sportage - so a question for all you Kia owners:
Whats the build quality like, quality of the interior finish etc?
TIA
Just fine Whats the build quality like, quality of the interior finish etc?
TIA
Better than a Ford or Vauxhall in (many) places. Certainly no complaints from me!Gassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
