Overall:
The proceed 3 1.6 diesel is a fantastic buy. The power of the engine is impressive to say the least. Fuel consumption combined around 62mpg. Excellent in my books since my last car was a series 3 juice guzzling bmw!

The car handles very well and because of the electronic power steering parking is made very easy. Good driving view point and good all round vision. Plenty of room in back of car.

Kia have really thought things through with this car. If your looking for something that's a bit of a looker as you drive round town and it does get heads turning! This car is a must.

Kia are on a winner here and so are you with the 7 year warranty. What more backing could you want. Go on test drive the Proceed you will not be disapointed.

Plus Points:
Above all else you will find you get value for money. The proceed 3 has part cloth /part leather sports seats. Full climate control/cd player/electric heated windows/ipod/mp3 player connection plus much more. All for price tag of just over £15,000. Compare an astra the same class it will cost at least £4000 more once you fit your extras on.

Minus Points:
To be honest this might be bit picky but because of the 17" wheels and sports suspension the ride is sometimes a little bumpy. But generaly handling and ride is brilliant.
