I absolutely rate this car 👌 Make sure you’re subscribed for Wednesday’s video it’s a good one and if you’re not following me on insta yet here’s the link: instagram.com/calvinscardiary
I seen 1 at knockhill ,my local racetrack in Scotland. I'm a track day guy myself. And yeah the guy was not amused that it broke. Great car for the road not for pushing hard round a track. Hence GTI wins.
I’m soo glad you did a video on this car! I had one of these for 3 years, and it was my second car with 1 year no claims bonus it cost me £1500 but for me this was amazing coming from a 1.6 Astra which cost me £3500 for my first year driving, but ye this car is the reason I love cars,driving and anything car related and will forever be the car I should of never sold. So underrated
Owned the very same car for 3 years, it’s called GT TECH ie heated seats/ heated steering wheel. Definitely recommend this car, never had any problems, cheap service cost. Well done to KIA.
I bought an 09 Proceed Zr-7 with 118k miles. About 50k miles missing in the service history but shes at 160k miles now going strong and serviced every 10k. Hyundai/Kia Gamma engines are pretty solid and are everywhere.
my current car, i have a 2014 model, with a stage 1 tune, and a de resonated exhaust , cracking motor, admittedly it does feel a little sluggish at stock, but a tune completely transforms it. and the sound it makes just by cutting off the resonator is insane.
you still got it? how do you find the handling? in my head i have them as like the same sort of car as an i30n - mapped to 250bhp with all the gadgets etc i think its a decent buy!
Good to hear. We had a Pro Ceed Gt from 2014 to 2018 and it was a cracking car. Never missed a beat, and turned heads all the time. I was really hoping Kia would progress and develop a hotter version but alas, they didn’t. So we reluctantly changed in 2018 to a I30N. You still see very few actual GT’s on the road. Absolutely loved my Pro Ceed GT. and loads of tech as standard (heated seats and steering wheel to name a couple). Great video.
thats exactly the car that popped into my head when i was looking at the pro ceed gt tonight - its like an i30n with a bit less power BUT they will remap upto 250bhp so id imagine once you do that they have a bit of poke... how did you find the handling with it?
Test drove one at 18 when they first came out, absolutely loved it and wanted one since! They're holding their value well too! Been around the 5-7k mark for the last 2/3 years!
I had a 2013 one of these for 6 years and 320,000km and I couldn't recommend it enough. Bulletproof on a 150km daily commute, fun to drive in the twisties and quick enough (especially after I remapped it). I also firmly believe that it's the best looking hatchback of the last decade by a mile.
So what you've got there is the pre facelift GT tech, that's why it's specced with the heated seats/steering wheel, touch screen and directional xenon headlights. After the facelift in 2016 they dropped the base GT and every GT had the same tech. The GT button itself doesn't have any effect on the drive it just changes the screen 👌
I've got s pro ceed sr7 having had VW's all my life, this car outperforms all VW's even my Scirocco! Had it 5 years and only had a bulb go on it, great car!!!
The great thing about your channel is I think people would be more inclined to buy cars from you as you come across as a genuine, nice bloke. So it’s great advertising for your business! Good luck to you
I had a regular ford fiesta as my first car at 21 and actually bought a Kia Procee'd GT 2 years later (that I still drive). My insurance changed from around £700 for the fiesta to £1,000 on the Kia, nearly 5 years later my insurance on the same car is under £400 with 7 years no claims. I did have one accident that was not my fault so it could be lower still! I've really enjoyed my Kia but I'm ready to move on to something else when the car starts having a lot of issues.
@@amshgamer9499 Just did another quote with the correct details, 4 years driving and 4 years no claims still came back as £1,418.20 😂Man I live in a rough area haha
Didn't think you would do a video on this car however I'm glad you did. I own one and can't fault it wanted a little bit of power but didn't want to go crazy and spend a fortune at the time. Only thing that bugs me is the front suspension seems like it's bouncing across the tarmac when you wheel spin off and sounds like it's gonna break the front end off lol 😆
One sweet spot I’ve found as a young car enthusiast is the Mini Cooper s and JCW 2014-present. I’m paying £750 a year at 19 with 2 years no claims for a 230hp hot hatch. Whereas GTI quotes at £2500 and s3 at £2700
Got myself a 2017 KIA Proceed GT in white. It is literally my child in a way. So comfortable to drive, responsive. Looking to change the look of it soon hopefully! 😁
Kia ceed good little cars, my old man has a 1.4 58 plate cee apostrophe d 😂 covered 95,000 miles and feels tight as a drum still. Never had anything other than service items and a coil spring. He bought it new and I use it as my safe get you there car occasionally for bigger journeys. Kias used to represent very good value for money but unfortunately with the more recognition they are getting in the motor industry their prices are equivalent to more mainstream manufacturers...
Interesting to see. I made the jump to Kia back in 2018 for family car duties - Optima Estate. Won’t set the world on fire but it’s the perfect tool for the job. Prior to that I had an XF SPORTBRAKE and it spent more time in the garage than on the road 🤣 Hyundai also impressed me after I drove the I30N- that’s an absolute riot. P.s your fascination with the puddle was amazing 🤣🤣
I don’t think that mileage is high these days. Also a car that has been used is often better serviced and more reliable than a car with really low mileage.
The amount of people who shudder away at 100000 miles is unreal. Think they are still living in the 80's. My current car 2014 just turned 180000 miles.
You’ll probs find it’s got like the auto click in the pedal as that’s for the the speed limit function so if you set a limit say 30mph it would limit at 30mph until you push past that click, that’s what every speed limit function car I’ve ever driven has has anyway my theory behind it 😂😂
Definitely love to see you get a Stinger now. Been on my radar for a while and on some days i love them and others im not sure - styling wise. Would love to see a video on one of those and see what you think and make my mind up for me. Loving the content, helping me stay sane in lockdown. Much love.
Bloody love your honest delivery. Brilliant ! I've been looking for a Corsa VXR 2015 onwards for ages (I drive a mapped turbo 1.4) and worry about all the issues,..piston 4 shittin itself, and dodgy gearbox etc etc. I never even thought of the Kia Cee'd GT till I stumbled across your video. I think I'll be looking seriously at getting one of these instead now. 👍🤞
it really is a good car for the money! still driving mine low mile since a older man drove it before me. and he didnt do kia service, so i got a good deal! no problem since!
Great honest channel - loved the M3 vs AMG comparison & found it very helpful 👍🏻 I have a question... If a person buys a CAT write off & insures/declares it as one & then has an accident at some point in the future & wishes to claim Would the insurance company pay out for repairs? Would they write it off (again) if damage was bad ? Or would they just pay out the original scrap value? Would the different CAT categories make a difference in this ? What would happen if the car is stolen ? I’ve never bought one myself as it all seems too complicated... Maybe you could do a vlog on this one day as you don’t seem to be bothered about buying them I reckon lots of people would like some honest enlightenment on this subject👍🏻 All the best Calvin & good luck with the business bruv
The last 3 cars I've bought have each had over 100k miles on them when I bought them. The first which I guess was the only interesting one was a 2005 3 year old M3 CS. I paid 14.5k for a 3 year old car which cost the guy before me 56K. No brainer if they've been looked after.
I recently got a sportage same engine 174 bhp and it proper shifts for a bigish car there has been talk of these having carbon deposits on intake valves but I think that's at very high mileage.
Not bad a car. One that got under the radar as well with me too calvin. Insurance quote for the kia proceed gt for me. 50 years old. 20+ years no claims. Protected bonus. Garaged. No motoring convictions No medical conditions. £250 volantary excess. Cheapest quote £203.53 by hastings direct. Halifax insurance not shown up in the comparethemarket.com list for the kia. I have been with halifax insurance for 3 years now and have had continous cheap renewal quotes. Just paid halifax car insurance £147 fully comp inc protective bonus for my rare 1999 astra 2.0 sri 16v. Im happy. Give them a go.
Concentrate Calv 🤣 if you ever change your UA-cam name it’s got to be side tracked Calvin 😂 my dads had one of these. Decent for a Kia great looking cars
I have a Kia Rio for a bit more than a year now, it's got 109 HP and I want to upgrade. With only 1 year no claim I can't even ensure it. Need to get two more years
I've had a 2013 GT for 4 years and done 60k miles in it. Now on 130k, it's been our family car and has been brilliant. I also have a Mk1 TT so the timing comparison is interesting, the TT 1.8T feels way quicker to drive, especially for overtaking. The Ceed/Proceed thing, i seem to remember that the Proceed is the 3 door hatch and the Ceed is 5 door 🤔 I test drove a few other cars before buying the GT, it was noticeably quicker and nicer to drive than a Fiesta ST of the same age and was a nicer to sit in than the 208GTi.
Would you say the TT felt like it had more power when it came to motorway speeds but the proceed gt felt more lively around town at slower speeds whereas the tt you felt like you couldn’t really use all its power around town unless you seriously broke the speed limit?
@@pjneale being honest, the TT would be quicker around town as well. Especially pulling out onto damp roundabouts quickly, the extra grip from the rear wheels being driven is quite significant. The GT can wheelspin under hard acceleration whereas with the TT you just nail the throttle under any conditions.
good content cal m8,the older 63 plate kia GT pro ceed which your driving in this good video is a great car if you have a low budget nice looking and its very good value for the money
My bora got 217.000 miles on . My mates got a Kia gt and he got 180.000 miles on it still sound as a pound . They are good car . Get a stinger on channel. They are incredible.
Awesome content Calvin, theres something for everyone! Thank you 🙏🏻.The latest Proceed GT is a genuinely good looking car, like a CLA Shooting Brake, but half the price!! Its tempting........🤔😎😎
Have the proceed GT shooting break myself, dct and 200bhp is genuinely more than enough to put a smile on my face on a b road and also super practical to fit stuff in. Loads of kit as standard including heated steering wheel and seats and gets lots of comments from people as mine in the only one I have seen in my city.
I have 2 kias a sportage with the same engine and a picanto .Both are very good and I wouldnt look past them now.The 1.6t gdi engine has a twin scroll turbo and is very tunable. Good to see a reviewer doing speed tests on an open road with no one round .Good for you fella as most reviewers just drive like dicks to look cool.Try and borrow a nismo rs juke if you can another fast cheap car.
A 1.6 and you thought it wasnt gonna impress you? Id love to see your reaction in my 1.4 Cupra Ibiza DSG 😂 230whp 400nm torque, youd love it mate, get one on the channel 👌
120k for a car that new isn't bad tbh, my veloster is on 100k and all I needed recently was a new clutch (and you expect to buy and new one around 100k)
Loving the 20-70 mph dragy tests. All the 0-60mph tests on other channels make no sense. I don’t really care if your Ferraghini does 0-60 in 2 seconds if it takes you 20 minutes to find launch control (Mat Watson)🤣😂. 20-70 mph wall of fame please. Love the randomness of your channel, is randomness a real word, I’m sure it might be, or not..... sorry got off track there.......🤣😂😅👍👍👍
@@martinbaker7097 potentially mate, need to have a proper look and drive/sit in one of these really first i do like the idea of them but i suppose you never truly know until you have a go.
Like so many small cars, not really different-looking enough to be special. I’m guessing it’s the long warranty and add-on service package etc with a new one, which makes them an attractive buy. Second-hand though, bargain pocket rocket 👍
Had one of the cleanest kia ceed GTs going, on a 13 plate, very low milage and loved it,,,,, but it would not go off road so I sold it for a suzy vitara 😁👍
I have a 2008 Kia_pro ceed. It has nothing on this car, it's slow and I was looking at getting this as a replacement. However, it does drink fuel. That has put me off, my OLD one has better MPG and I want a petrol. I think I'm keeping my car. I've owned it for over 8 years. She's broke down once, which started again after 10 mins of idle. £150. £120 for another issue, that is ALL I've spent on her that's not been wear and tear!
I absolutely rate this car 👌

Great to look at I saw the 3.3 litre model it was epic
It's a good looking car.
My neighbour has one and it's wicked mate
True this, work colleague has one, mapped stage 1 and it's ridiculously quick, like M3 quick, just nuts man haha
Don't like Kia stinger because it looses value so quick
People that slag these cars off are the same guys that can't stand the fact that a Hyundia i30N runs rings around a golf GTI 🤗
Yeah and its broken after 4 laps on a track
@@rossallan6853 evidence of that statement?
I seen 1 at knockhill ,my local racetrack in Scotland. I'm a track day guy myself. And yeah the guy was not amused that it broke. Great car for the road not for pushing hard round a track. Hence GTI wins.
Although it may have been the driver at fault. 🤭

I have recently just bought the new kia proceed gt shooting break, I'm 21 with 4years driving and 4years no claims and I payed £550 so not too bad.
Nice one Calvin! Loving your channel man.
Keep up the hard work! #ONIT
It’s a Pro Ceed GT Tech (tech refers to the option pack of heated wheel and sat nav etc)
The ice tree by the layby was bigger than that the day before and made me stop as well.
My bora got 217.000 miles on . My mates got a Kia gt and he got 180.000 miles on it still sound as a pound . They are good car . Get a stinger on channel. They are incredible.
Love the review, definitely adding this to my short list! :)
I had a 16 plate kia ceed gt for a few years really good cars
i've got one pro cee'd 1st editions , 150 000km , and run always great !
Awesome content Calvin, theres something for everyone! Thank you 🙏🏻.The latest Proceed GT is a genuinely good looking car, like a CLA Shooting Brake, but half the price!! Its tempting........🤔😎😎
Have the proceed GT shooting break myself, dct and 200bhp is genuinely more than enough to put a smile on my face on a b road and also super practical to fit stuff in. Loads of kit as standard including heated steering wheel and seats and gets lots of comments from people as mine in the only one I have seen in my city.
I have 2 kias a sportage with the same engine and a picanto .Both are very good and I wouldnt look past them now.The 1.6t gdi engine has a twin scroll turbo and is very tunable.
Good to see a reviewer doing speed tests on an open road with no one round .Good for you fella as most reviewers just drive like dicks to look cool.Try and borrow a nismo rs juke if you can another fast cheap car.
Brilliant cars 👏 best channel on UA-cam mate keep the videos coming
Head designer of kia was head hunted from Audi in 2006
i done a quote on this as 2nd car at 21 with 1 year no clams and got 1200 for the year, really considering this as my 2nd car
A 1.6 and you thought it wasnt gonna impress you?
Id love to see your reaction in my 1.4 Cupra Ibiza DSG 😂 230whp 400nm torque, youd love it mate, get one on the channel 👌
Solid remap. What power we talking 300hp+
Didn’t think it was possible having had a look on its gains in other places.
Not that I would recommend one but Peugeot got 270bhp out of their 1.6 for the RCZ-R. Not the most reliable engine but shows that it is possible.
Yes mate been waiting for this 👍
I think the 7 year warranty is absolutely fantastic, something German brands should be bloody doing
They can't and won't cos they build shit cars to make money
@@ryancaunce3142 Seats are German and good cars 🤷♂️ my mk1 Cupra hasn't ever skipped a beat anyway. 20V T ✌️
Bargain family car is a Ford Mondeo Titanium X Sport - 2.5L petrol, full leather, big spec car.
120k for a car that new isn't bad tbh, my veloster is on 100k and all I needed recently was a new clutch (and you expect to buy and new one around 100k)
Never seen one, look pretty cool and accessible
Before the proceed was its own model (the shooting brake one mentioned) the proceed was literally just the 3 door ceed, that’s it 😂
plus a completely different rear end
What would you choose out of the Kia to a fn2 type r?
I've got a FN2 type r, Currently looking at these.
Loving the 20-70 mph dragy tests. All the 0-60mph tests on other channels make no sense. I don’t really care if your Ferraghini does 0-60 in 2 seconds if it takes you 20 minutes to find launch control (Mat Watson)🤣😂. 20-70 mph wall of fame please. Love the randomness of your channel, is randomness a real word, I’m sure it might be, or not..... sorry got off track there.......🤣😂😅👍👍👍
I would consider that a low mileage car
I use to have one of them myself, apparently loved it. Also I had a DTUK turning box on it approximately running at 245bhp
how did you find it once mapped? how did it handle? weighing one up..
@@s1dew1nd3r4 it was fine handle really well. I’ve still got the turning box if your interested in buying it off me?
@@martinbaker7097 potentially mate, need to have a proper look and drive/sit in one of these really first i do like the idea of them but i suppose you never truly know until you have a go.
@@s1dew1nd3r4did you ever get a chance to sit & drive one?
@@martinbaker7097did you ever have any clutch issues running it with the box? How long did you have it with the box power upgrade?
Currently drive one of these
Turbo back exhaust
Cold air intake
Remap
280bhp
Not bad
does it really have 280hp?
@@joshuaminke6629 yes Dyno tested
Now an intercooler and turbo later it's 330bhp
@@seanokeeffeSOK mine blew at 250 lol. Currently driving a insignia VXR at 400hp
@@joshuaminke6629 should have got a stinger
@@seanokeeffeSOK out of my price range. And I wanted AWD
Like so many small cars, not really different-looking enough to be special. I’m guessing it’s the long warranty and add-on service package etc with a new one, which makes them an attractive buy. Second-hand though, bargain pocket rocket 👍
I’m 25 with 2 years no claims and I live in central Scotland and I got a quote of £753 for the year on this car
The 4 LED's are seriously cool
It's a shame Kia dropped them for their next generation cars
It's in the headlight as Day time running Light now on a lot of models
Had one of the cleanest kia ceed GTs going, on a 13 plate, very low milage and loved it,,,,, but it would not go off road so I sold it for a suzy vitara 😁👍
Take out the backseats and stage 2 it mush🤣🔥
Smart little car mate! Video editing on point
Nice car nice to see something different for a change
That a Beast of a car only having 200bhp man love the video's calv keep it up and keep #Onit bro my g
I have a 2008 Kia_pro ceed. It has nothing on this car, it's slow and I was looking at getting this as a replacement. However, it does drink fuel. That has put me off, my OLD one has better MPG and I want a petrol.
I think I'm keeping my car. I've owned it for over 8 years. She's broke down once, which started again after 10 mins of idle. £150. £120 for another issue, that is ALL I've spent on her that's not been wear and tear!
