At ReDriven, we’ll be taking you through the pros and cons of a huge range of used cars to see how well they’re going now that they’re a few years old, have thousands of kilometres on the clock, and are coming toward the end of their warranty, or maybe don’t have one at all.
Plus, thanks to our resident mechanic, Jim, you’ll find out what commonly goes wrong with them and what might need to be fixed.
Most importantly, we want to make ReDriven a voice for the most in-the-know used car experts there are...you guys.. See, you’re the ones that actually buy, live with, love and sometimes unfortunately hate the cars we’ll be reviewing.
So we want to hear your thoughts. Hit us up in the comments, or on Instagram and Facebook.
We’d love nothing more than for you to give us as much feedback as possible, so we can make this channel the best it can be.

[@user-rp3qh1uo9b]

I bought a white Kia Ceed GT 2-door a few months ago. Really like the quality feel and the way it drives. Had a Ford Fiesta ST before and the Kia feels significantly more refined. The engine sound (from the outside) sounds really good, and I have received many compliments on how good the car looks (it´s a really beatiful car). The only thing I can complain about is the red strip on the front of the car which spoils the look a bit. And the fuel consumption is one liter per 10km if you drive normally in city driving. You can´t really go below that. But that's ok. Would definitely recommend this car. Cheers from Sweden.

[@matthewpatterson9184]

I recently purchased a 2017 Pro_Cee'd GT w/ 47,000 miles on the clock here in the UK, safe to say it's the best car I've ever had and I'm still enjoying every mile. Power delivery, handling, comfort, safety and reliability have been excellent so far but it can get a bit thirsty. Very underrated, I only wish the newer models still had a manual gearbox but I guess that's where the Hyundai i30 N comes in.

[@MJC-gf5er]

I have a 2015 Pro_Cee'd GT here in the UK as my daily and absolutely adore it. Every single person who sits in the passenger seat says pretty much something along the lines of "oh wow, this is good!"

[@sharonevans7861]

I used to have one and it was the best car ive had, i miss my proceed, only sold it to get a 4 door for baby seat. I love seeing them on the road but they are rare which makes them more special.

[@markriches6400]

I had a 2014 model in it's basic trim level. Nice to drive and looked good. Plenty of people were curious and asked me what it was as they had never seen anything like it. I sold mine as i personally didn't like the huge doors after some time and it was a pain to avoid dinging cars parked next to me. The fuel tank was too small for long distance driving and the rear blind spot was horrendous. Mine also had a rattle from the rear boot cover. The rubber stops on the hatch were there but still allowed movement of the cover over bumps. Not many of these around. Quite rare and you'll be lucky to spot one. Didn't sell many in Australia mostly due to the fact that it was a 6 speed manual and the unknown with Kia's radical new design by Peter Shreyer.

[@joshuamitchell6137]

I love mine thought of selling it a couple times gave it a wash and fell in love again

[@rezaekarantio1489]

Always like the look of this on the road. Based on your video, I reckon you will also love Suzuki Swift Sport AZ or ZC33S with 1.4T engine. Weigh under a tonne, drive brilliantly, hot hatch pretending to be a warm hatch IMO. Hopefully you can review this car in few years time.

Now I miss my kia ceed gt more... thanks Redriven

[@ReDriven]

Haha. Sorry

[@jonathanberglind4589]

An honest and underrated car that has a better build quality than the mentioned Focus, Fiesta, and Renault. We were lucky to get them in Australia despite being for a short term given the car was primarily pitched at the European market being built in Slovakia hence the indicator stalk being on the left of the steering column but everything else was on the correct side unlike a number of its rivals

[@ReDriven]

Well put!

[@ultimateiphonedng8756]

I bought my wife one of these back in 2015, she loved it and never had any issues. I normally drive a Lexus LS430 but if I was working on the coast, which meant a drive down one of three mountain passes and return, I’d swap cars with her. Pure fun. We only sold it because we needed an SUV for our retirement plans. Fuel economy was around 7.5l on the highway, around 10 in town but could be worse if you got too excited. Seats were brilliant, fit and finish terrific and the handling/steering sublime. The looks, well everything is subjective but we thought it was stunning. Downsides, only the road noise, but then that’s probably an unfair comparison as I’m used to near silence. Mind you fresh tyres made a big improvement. My best memories of the car were two trips around Tassie, it seemed to be the perfect car for that environment.

[@bobbieluij]

Looool looking tomorrow for a Fiesta ST, but this would also be pretty good.

[@rioda30]

Do i30 SR next. I just bought a 2018 model and I'm actually amazed at what you get for the money

[@YoureNowOnTV]

I was looking at one of these for a while then I realised how rare they are to find where I live (Tasmania). When I understood about them being super similar to the Veloster I looked into those too but now I've switched to a Mazda 3 SP25 as my top pick when the prices come down to a post-covid level. (2023 hopefully)

[@crocoman776]

It was the GT Tech. Standard trim and options was fantastic. Heated seats and steering wheel as well. And see just upgrading the infotainment to an Android touch screen (it possible) that’s basically the thing that brings the car back to looking reasonably modern again. As externally, it fits right in. The engine, 201bhp was nice and smooth power delivery. Lovely car.😢

Just on this review alone, I just purchased a mint condition Pro’ceed. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why KIA doesn’t reintroduce these back into the Australian market, considering they sell well in UK and Europe ?

[@rextimmy]

I just purchased a 2014 model a month ago and so far I absolutely love it, such a fun little car. With the fuel economy numbers, I just did a 180km highway trip last week, it was a typical country road with a 100 limit, I was averaging 6.6L per 100, that was with a few hills and the odd overtake but otherwise sticking to the speed limit. Around town, I am so far averaging about 8.3L per 100. This is with 98ron fuel and a stock engine.

I'm seriously considering Cee'd GT. It's basically the same car, but has 4 doors for better practicality.

[@OrnumCR]

Bought a GT Tech in Track Red in 2014, first one sold new in WA and we still have it. These were imported direct from Kia’s Slovakia plant in Europe and as such, they’re actually better built (IMO) than other Kia product out of Korea. The paint on the Proceed is actually standing up much better than the Stinger we also have, it seems thicker and more scratch resistant, the seat belts are thicker, the body uses thicker metal especially in the doors, and the trim is standing up incredibly well. It’s a daily driver too. It is serviced bang on time every 7500kms and has a complete service history from new. It’s done two trans-continental trips in comfort and we’ve fitted an aftermarket AVN that is integrated in the dash. It’s got genuine illuminated GT kick plates either side and all optional extras including European Kia genuine thicker floor mats. Handling is great and these love corners. Give it a good detail and it looks new…that proves the quality build. They’re great fun to drive and quite rare. Only a little over 700 were sold in Australia before the European tap was turned off. A few made it into NZ too. Great little car. The intention is to keep this one in the family. The only issue with the 1.6 litre turbo donk is the first gen direct injection. Give it a good throttle body service including valve train every now and again as the carbon build up can cause them to run a little rough at idle..do that and the idle settles again…and AK didn’t mention the digital dash…press the GT button and the speedo changes…Enjoyed your review…

I just sold mine, very good car for the price, very well built in qualitywise. the power comes in first around 3800 rpm. the exhaust muffler can go. the coils can die permenantly. the sun roof is noisy at high speed over 170 km/h. the brake calipers of automatic parking breaks are faulty and tricky to rescrew the pins the right way after changing the pads. road noises are relatively high. driving at 120 km/h @ 6th speed, the engine runs 3000 rpm, too high.

[@nk53nxg]

Hyundai and Kia are extremely popular here in the UK. Especially the Ceed, i30, i20, Sportage and Tucson. The Kona and Niro are also very common, European manufacturers have lost a lot of market share to the Koreans and it appears to be growing. Looking into the segment though, all European manufacturers even VW price themselves in the upper regions whilst Kia and Hyundai are still reasonable but competitive in terms of kit reliability and style. People are not stupid, manufacturers can only rest on their Laurels for so long, (looking at you Audi) and that good value for money will always win customers and market share not playing on heritage, image and marketing.

I have one I owned it for 4 years now it's amazing car I love it I like the fact that there is not many on the street. Question mate do you think it might get up in price as there is not many? Thanks for the video

[@ReDriven]

Tough question Karim. With everything going on in the world financially mixed with supply chain shortages, it’s really anyone’s guess. - AK

Such a bargain buy atm, few little mods such coilovers, exhaust, tune, lsd and you'll actually have a really cheap reliable hot hatch

Please male a review of the Kia Koup Turbo

What´s that fancy mat on the dashboard? I want that!

[@TwistedDonners]

Was not expecting the Pro_cee'd to be today review car especially since it only just appeared on the underrated mod cars list you guys did. Out of curiosity who was doing the KPOP-esque vocals in the safety features overview? Did you manage to find the bird that was vocal bombing the takes by any chance or did it slip through your fingers? Good review guys and look forward to next week's batch of videos as per usual lol and have a safe weekend too 👍.

[@ReDriven]

Cheers mate!

What are the best head units to get for these that looks like the one in the video? I am getting a 2014 gt tech and love the look of a big head unit.

[@damc7931]

Biggest issue is fuel consumption nd in UK I struggle to get parts usually have to order em from Germany or other European countries

[@danmccarthy4700]

Wow, it really does look amazing. Very reminiscent of something Peugeot would come up with. We missed out on them in the US though.

[@aidenater]

No. Peugeot is yuck, dunno how you can compare that to the Proceed lol.

[@Golfr2020]

Had one when it came out. Quality issues since day one. Mosquito inside my instrument cluster, x3 the GPS system changed over because display issues, service interval 7,500km, front lower panel flimsy, side folding Mirrors had loose fitting, flat spot when taking off around corners, power output could be better, other than that it is ok.

Maybe you bought a lemon?

[@normski262]

Looking at an estate version of this 2020, but with 199000 klms, question is, is it going to die soon or is it worth the jump. at about 14000 uk pounds, but yep it is a looker for sure.

[@chrisvanegmond3157]

These are awesome, really the biggest gripe I'd have with them is the name, why did they have to get cute and add underscores and apostrophes where they don't belong? I'd almost be embarrassed to tell someone I own a "Pro_cee'd".. just call it a Proceed. Just one request, under "what is it" please specify the engine and transmission options (or if too many, just the engine, or just the one of your demo model); you do mention it shares the engine and platform with the Veloster Turbo but you don't say what engine it is (I guess it's a 1.6T ? ) Thanks for the videos, this one goes on my shortlist for when my wife's March gives up the ghost..

[@hafentoffen2]

Newer models have dropped the wacky name and are just called proceed now ☺️👌 I got the 2020 GT shooting brake style and I bloody love it 😄

[@imynah]

@@hafentoffen2 oh that's great news, just the upgrade I was waiting for haha

[@Asymmetry0]

This one is a 1.6L GDi direct injection twin scroll turbo engine making 150kw (201HP). 80% torque available at 1500rpm, it what makes it fun is the small peaky turbo. This only came in a short ratio six speed manual.

[@chrisvanegmond3157]

@@Asymmetry0 thanks! Sounds fun yeah.

What will this be like on fuel
