    Any opinions on the proceed? Fan of the shooting brake look but don’t see many on the road.

    Handles well, fairly well specced. Only available in GT and petrol as far as I remember.

    Mrs had one as a loaner for a couple of weeks whule her Sportage was unwell.
    Nice car,, looks smart, drives ok, only in GT spec, which was fine, boot is huge in it, petrol was a bit on the thirsty side. Think it's now available with the 1.6CRDi engine as well

    They do look great. Such a pity there is not more of them on the roads. Kia really should have had more power options for it a hyprid,phev and electric too cover all bases then it really would have sold.
    I would actually say the dash in this and the Xceed are better quality and higher quality than the current Sportage but am sure when the new Sportage come out on a year or 2 that Kia will fix this.

    They really need the bigger wheels to look good.

    Diesel the only option when buying new now. I’m moving from an Optima. Big fan of the look of the proceed but losing a couple of extras like electric seats and panoramic roof. Not had a test drive of the diesel as of yet either.

    No Keyless entry even as a option either?

    Looks great. I’m not a fan of Kia’s looks but the proceed has a bit about it. Some would turn their nose up at them copying Porsche but out of the large scale companies doesn’t copy other manufacturers?
