A lot of research on this car and others was undertaken before our purchase and this one ticked all the boxes. Interior roomy and seats comfortable. There is also a 7 inch audio screen. Car was taken on extensive country road trip of 1600 km soon after purchase and handled beautifully. Car is very fuel efficient.

This Kia Cerato is an absolute pleasure to drive, sits on road very nicely. Cabin in very quiet when driving. There is nothing to dislike with the interior, high quality, everything at hand.
Seats are very very comfortable, leg room great.
Very reliable car, suppose the economy of it depends how you drive the vehicle, I have found it very economical. The seven year warranty is a security blanket.

I want for nothing when driving this car. It has every feature I could want and much more. It is beautiful to drive, in fact I don't even feel like I am driving...the car does most of the work I just steer and stop. For the money you cannot buy a better car right now.

Absolutely loved my baby, perfect and best price. cheap to run! amazing little car. Drove like a dream, no issues. You get so much for what you pay for and very reliable with a 7 year warranty! also with 7 years capped servicing. Definitely would recommend buying one brand new.

Driving is very good but not as responsive to my mazda3. The price was excellent but to achieve it I had to haggle with the salesperson. I don’t like that the basic model has no automatic window opener, finger needs to be on button continually for it to work. Also has no navigation but very happy overall. Petrol usage is very reasonable and very reliable car. Running costs are capped but not happy with the service dealer because of little space in waiting room, so I will be going to another dealer. Overall I am very happy with my KIA CERATO 6 SPD auto 5 door hatch, I recommend buying it.

I have been driving since May. So far I haven't had any problems. Compare with other similar size cars, the boot is more spacious, I put my baby's pram and still enought space for grocery bags. Also the boot is not high, good for mums with prams. And gotta love 7 year warranty!

The Kia Cerato Sports tips all the boxes for a small car with plenty of expectations. From the time you sit yourself in the car you get the feeling that this car is something special.Once you kick the car over you can select ECO,NORMAL or SPORTS to combine with the 6 speed auto shift for city or country driving.The performance is good averaging about 7.4ltr to 100 klms.The handling is very good on the country roads and with plenty of legroom the car is a delight to drive.Kia give a 7 year warranty,7 year fixed price servicing and 7 year roadside assist which is comforting.All in all this vehicle is value for money plus.

It’s so quiet that I sometimes forget that the engine is on when on idle. Legroom is big specially at the back compared to other sedan cars. I love the auto lock feature of it because sometimes I forget to lock the car that it gives me peace of mind. It is offered in their basic model unlike other car dealership where their basic models sometimes doesn’t have the auto lock feature. I totally love this car.

Handles the road like a dream. Quiet and comfortable to ride in and easy to park. Never had a car with all the mod cons before and I am still getting used to reversing cameras, adjustable seating and all the other features. I haven't yet programmed my phone in as I don't like talking and driving, but all there features are available. I think it will take me the whole 7 year warranty period to learn all about what it can do.

Running costs are very low it costs 40 to 50$ to fill the tank and its been very reliable so far. It averages 7ltrs per 100km. The interior is very stylish and the car is so smooth to drive and definitely not sluggish like my old holden cruze.
Only downside would be the phine connectivity i always have to confirm the connection on my phone which is annoying when you just want to jump in and go.

I rented this car to go to the grampians on my vacation. Good performance. I drove up the mountains on steep curves and roads with sometimes branches fallen.
No issues at all.
The weather conditions were not great, it was raining all the time and foggy but the car performed well.

Not only the 7 year warranty which impressed me but the handling and fuel-efficiency is a good addition. In touch screen very easy to use and has the small luxuries of a higher priced car with reverse camera. Legroom is sufficient and boot is quite large for a hatch. Very happy with the purchase.

Purchased October 2016, my Kia Cerato S Premium is an absolute pleasure to drive. Good fuel economy and very comfortable, with all the extras such as auto lights, auto door locking, rear camera, GPS Sat Nav included. A software update fixed my problem with the AV unit cutting out intermittently. In Econ mode, the engine noise is a bit high when shifting down a gear. Overall, an excellent car for the price with the added bonus of the 7 year warranty and fixed price servicing. I'll definately be looking at the Cerato again when it is time to update.

Have had my Kia cerato 1.8 auto for just over a year with 26,000Kms on the clock.It's been a fantastic little car for the money but has developed a rough idle at times and fairly loud engine noise when cold(Perhaps Tappets/timing chain).Yet to be determined by dealer.Im happy with the way it drives,how roomy it is and the fuel economy I get(Around 7.4 mixed driving).It seams the noise is a common issue with this car?Other than the engine issues I can't fault the car for the money $17,000.The warranty appeals to me also.

Ditched the european car and will never buy another. If someone told me 5 years ago that I would love a Kia more than any other car I have had I would have laughed at them, but it has been excellent. Pleasure to drive over short or long distances. Not a thing has gone wrong except for the Sat Nav which packed it in recently and was quickly replaced under warranty. Servicing isn't exactly a bargain, but at least being capped we know what we are in for. Looking forward to getting a larger Kia sometime soon.
