Nothing wrong with the manual gearbox itself. But this engine is choked by emission standards (unlike the diesel). Its rev hang galore because closing the throttle body quickly is bad for emissions. This was an official statement by Honda with their 1.5 turbo but it applies here as well.

This is better than the Mercedes by w quite some way... Unless you are a badge snob.

[@xIcarus227]

I'm sorry, just no. Stop comparing mainstream cars to premium ones and trying to call it badge snobbery when someone prefers the premium car. This Proceed's interior and build quality is nowhere near CLA levels, you don't have the choice of more powerful engines on the Kia nor can you get AWD or a performance version. The only thing Kia has over the CLA is reliability and warranty, the CLA is better in pretty much every other way. And this ain't about badge snobbery either, you're straight up comparing this to a car that used to be 2x as expensive or more. Badge snobbery would be if you were comparing this to a Golf estate and preferred the Golf because of some bullshit reason.

[@skobi87]

Sorry “S” but kia’s engine is much better than in CLA 250 example. Try first comment later, I did.

[@xIcarus227]

@@skobi87 every time I hear this type of bullshit about Kia's or Hyundai's engines I can't help but wonder why you people comment if you don't know what you're talking about. If you like the car that's fine, but stop attributing bullshit to it. Hyundai's and by extension Kia's engines are old tech, and you can easily tell by the poor torque and mediocre performance figures they output. Kia's 204HP powerplant outputs a measly 265Nm of torque, while the CLA250 outputs a massive 350Nm. You'll say that the CLA has a bigger engine and that's true, and this is why I present to you the 1.5L 3cyl in the Fiesta ST which outputs 290Nm at a similar power level, while still having 100 less CC. _That_ is what a modern engine can do. The 1.6 engine in the Kia is vastly inferior to the one in the CLA 250 in every conceivable way aside from economy (it's smaller) and maybe reliability. Being old tech should assure that Hyundai has had the time to perfect the engine's reliability, even though the 2.0 unit in the CLA250 isn't exactly new, and has proven quite reliable even in higher-spec variants, like the one seen on the A45. You're fighting against numbers which don't care about the feeling you had when you test drove the Kia. Hyundai's engines have never really been something special, and this is especially available to their diesels which were very sluggish compared to their competition.

@@xIcarus227 So fucking wrong. I was in the 2018 CLA and a BASE ceed and the CLA was a complete piece of shit in comparison. Plastic, plastic, plastic and abysmal quality, along with less kit and an outdated design. Stop being a badge snob you fucking moron, a CLA is an A class with a longer boot which in itself is an overpriced heap.

@@PAUL-ESNEED it's amazing how you call someone a badge snob yet proceed to spout that incessantly fanboyitic bullshit. I've been in a Ceed before and its interior is straight up worse than the contemporary A-class. The only realistically cheap object in the A-class is that disgusting infotainment panel and that's just about it. And then there's the matter of the 2019 A-class which has the best interior in a hatchback right now, the Ceed looks like a Dacia compared to it. Tell me what is it you think you gain by talking out of your ass, do you honestly think people who know what they're talking about won't call you out on your bullshit, or is your goal misleading the average Joe just because you're a cretin?

Kia ProCeed GT 1.6T 200hp or the new Ford Focus estate ST line 1.5T 182hp. What is better chassis and handling?

That Grab Handle on the boot door is to help shorter individuals to reach the door and then lower it enough to be able to slam it by pushing it... on the door itself. Well, I say door when I mean hatch, but You get the idea.
