Kia ProCeed (2013 - 2019) 1.6 CRDi SE EcoDynamics 3d (2013/13) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Style and don't follow the masses by buying a VW or Audi. Don't want to pay way over the odds for a car when I can get this one with more equipment for a lot less and looks better.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They all think its very nice and love the style, interior etc. some can't believe this is actually a Kia.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would if Kia could fix the creaks and rattles on the dashboard.

What are you likely to buy next?

I would like to buy an Audi based on build quality nothing else. Other than that there isn't really anything that jumps out at me unless I could win the lottery and buy an Aston Martin.

Laid back, friendly, professional.

Light, nimble fairly well planted and grips quite well. Nice and comfortable with good visibility, everything is well within easy reach in the cabin.

Very easy, good visibility and easier with parking sensors and reversing camera.

What's most practical about your car?

Size, performance, comfort.
