Kia Pro_Ceed GT

Hey Guys,

Anyone got/driven one of these? They look pretty nice and a good balance between toys and looks for the price.

Just wondering if anyone had any first hand experience?

20k would see you in a sorted MKII RS or EVOX.

maybe even a GT86.

Insurance might take a bigger hit on them, but I am thinking of going via a finance/PCP type deal.

I think if I went second hand in that price range it might be a 370Z!! If the insurance wasn't crazy high at least!

No experience of them, but if you're going new and want a hot hatch the Focus ST should be available for similar money. Personally, I'd rather have the ST.

Comes in at just under 20k if financing.

The kia looks interesting but I was completely underwhelmed by the veloster with what I assume is the same engine.

Just seemed to be geared terribly for what has the right power and weight to be a reasonably quick car.

I do love that tangerine colour on the new STs

Fiesta ST can be had cheaper and it's a cracking car.

The fiesta does look good - no use if the op wants a focus sized car though

My first car was a Zetec S 1.6 so after something different tho they do look lovely.
