The big Passat wagon finally died for the last time about 4 weeks ago so I didn’t have the want or means to try to throw more at it for it to happen again so had to bite the bullet and go for something a bit newer with a warranty.
Didnt have the luxury of a massive budget and the recent experiences with VAGs had put me off going for something like that again and something without a known history and warranty to fall back on.
While quietly watching random car vids on YouTube one night I came across these new Proceeds, I’d never considered a KIA but the car looked class, I’d never seen one on the road, it fitted in with what I was after, still wanted an estate but a slightly smaller one now that kid is grown up a bit was ideal and the quality looked miles ahead of KIAs of old, I looked at my budget and figured I could make one of these work so found a year old Ex-Demonstrator at Downeys a few weeks ago and after a look at it and test drive the rest is history.
Wont rhyme off all the details, google can fill in the rest but:
Black KIA Proceed GT, now just hit 7k miles.
1.6 GDI Petrol Turbo 204hp
7 speed Dual Clutch with paddles with a normal and sport mode. (Sport mode improves throttle and steering and opens a flap in exhaust to make a nicer sound etc)
Plenty of kit, led headlights and taillights, 5mm lower than non GT models, red GT accents throughout inside heated seats and steering wheel, nav, apple car play, leather and Alcantata seats, lane keep assist, park assist, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres as standard, 6 years warranty remaining, reverse camera blah blah, plenty of kit as you seen to get with KIA these days.
My first time owning an auto and I’m glad I’ve done it, so easy to drive and takes some stress out of traffic travel etc. Have done about 2/300 miles since got it a few weeks ago and it’s been great so far, even the wife who was sceptical has taken to it happily.
Anyway, photos, haven’t got somewhere with a nicer backdrop to get decent ones but here she is in all her glory:
Thanks for looking

Though I doubt the Skoda would be nearly as nice to sit in at that weapon of choice.
