Kia Pro Ceed Full Road Test Report

1.6-litre - The pro_cee’d undercuts the vehicles it is now in competition with quite substantially, although the residual values of the pro_cee’d may not be quite as certain as those of the Golf for example, the up front costs are a lot less! Running costs should also mirror this and the seven year warranty is always a key selling point for Kia.... read more

Kia Pro_Ceed 1.6 diesal pro ceed 2008

Hi, I’m actually from Dublin, ROI. I had been loyal to the Ford Focus for 4 years until I test drove the Kia Pro ceed. Positives: the spec is brilliant, half leather sports seats, aircon, cooler and nice wheels as standard. at the moment in ROI the ceed is holding its value better then the Focus as the market is flooded with them, which means the is actually Kia out there that holds its value very well. in order to comply with the warranty you must service car every 10,000 miles. The torque it chucks out is very impressive, the Kia has more torque then a 1.9tdi Golf, which means its faster then the Golf, Focus, Astra and Corrolla diesels! The styling is great too, take my advice and test drive the Kia, it will change your whole perception of the brand. Negatives: the radio reception is of poor quality, I have to return my car to the dealer this week for a new transmitter (covered by 7 year warranty) in my opinion the dash is a little bit too plastic.

Kia Carens 2.0 GS 7Seater 2008

This is the second Kia Carens I have owned. The new model is by far the best to date. I can truthfully say they represent good value, all round. Roll on the next one...

Kia Carens 2008

Reading some of the reports above makes me think some people don’t know a thing about cars. the Kia Carens is a well built MPV, 5 or 7 seats, good spec, even for the entry S model. The ride is good and steering is positive, very little roll on corners. Interior is very spacious, and gives the feel of a big 4x4. 5 year warranty is a good tempter, which other cars don’t have. A good all round car, I say it beats the Zafira, on comfort and ride. I’d certainly buy another Carens, and I don’t have anything bad to say about it.

Kia Carens 2lite diesel 2006

I’ve had my Kia Carens 2lite diesel for 2 years now. It’s OK but would not buy another Kia. Yes, it was cheap to buy but I know a man who has one for a taxi and its done 230,000 miles - 2004 model; so they cant be all that bad.

Kia Rio 2008

I have had two Kia Rio CRDI now and I think they are excellent. I love the handling and speed. With an excellent 1.5 diesel engine it is perfect. I don’t really like the 1.4 petrol - a bit sluggish i think. If you are think of buying one go for the 1.5 diesel ICE or CHILL. We priced as well.

Kia Shuma Shuma II L 2003

I bought one from my neighbour 2 years ago, with 110,000 miles on the clock because I desperately needed a car quickly. I thought would probably sell it on fairly quickly, but in fact it is so good I am still running it. It is a huge car compared to all the other 1600s I have had but performs quite reasonably given the size. Road holding is excellent and the ride is quite smooth, even on bumpy country roads. Steering is positive with a good feel at both high and low speeds. For a really cheap car it is well equipped - the only thing lacking is aircon, but it has the hottest heater of any car I have owned - brilliant in the winter. The car comes into it’s own as a motorway cruiser - rock steady even at high speeds, and reasonably quiet and very comfortable. Several 3-400 mile drives have left me feeling less tired and achy than any other car I have driven. A great car for such a low price!

Kia Rio Crdi ICE 2008

Really surprised with this little car, I test drove the petrol version and though it was pretty good, I ordered the diesel version and what a surprise, the engine is a belter, far quicker than the petrol and very quiet, very reliable. I took it to France 3 weeks after buying it and 3,500 miles later it was still as sweet as a nut. Fuel consumption wasn’t as good as expected, but I have been checking the other forums and have found out that it gets better with age. Mine has 8,000 miles on it now and it is using less fuel. Good looking car and definitely stands out. Only one slight complaint, its heavy on the front tyres. I have taken advice on this and have been told to replace them with something like a Michelin tyre and that should stop the problem. Other than that a fine, extremely quick car and I certainly would recommend one to anyone. Bit of advice, don’t read the magazine reviews , just go and drive one, you will not be disappointed.

Kia Rio 1.4 GS 2006

A decent little car. Quiet, nippy enough if you don’t want super performance. I find it a pleasure to drive. It can be a bit `hoppy’ on uneven roads but overall its a nice car to drive. Sharp brakes thanks to all round discs. A decent amount of space, reasonable fuel economy. I would recommend it for anyone who wants a decent car at a low price.
