I bought this car in Feb 2017. The feautures are amazing and very advanced similar to a high end car like BMW, Merc etc. good reliability, smooth handling, only makes little noise when try to accelerate on Eco mode drive. Got three Modes, Eco, Normal and Sports. Heaps of standard and extra features. only drawback No CD / DVD Drive.
Mileage is low as compared to advertised. Plenty of leg room for front passengers, ok for the back. Good dashboard. Running cost high due to Low mileage.
Big boot space and 7 years warranty with full spare tyre. Getting used to the new car from my Toyota Yarris Yr.

I recently purchased the Kia Cerato. IT is a great little car. It drives very smoothly and has all the little extras that make it a great drive like GPS, bluetooth audio, rear parking camera.

Pros:
7 year warranty with fixed price servicing
Very smooth to drive

Cons
Dashboard takes time to boot up
GPS quite slow to boot up

For the money my cerato has been the perfect car. Never had a single warranty claim in over 3 years of ownership. All it needs is fuel and a service. It is a more basic car but has everything you need.

Drives well for what it is, safe and very reliable.

performance is great has all the extras including reverse camera economical interior good for the price paid had mine 12 months with no issues at all seats comfortable good boot space, Gear box smooth my wife prefers it to her Toyota 86 would buy another one and remember the 7 year warranty

Sounds like there are issues with customers on their Cerato, but I've no problem with my sons Cerato SLi bought in 2015 when it was under 3 years old. I've driven it about a dozen times, when he's allowed me to! I drive an i45 myself so I understand the Korean cars. The car is smooth to drive almost have to step on the gas, the seats are plush and it fabricates my adhesion to the seats. When I drive it is for about 20km to the fuel kiosk. No problem encountered with audio CD player. I've not tested his blue tooth features. I'm satisfied he has bought a very good quality sedan with a warrantee still at age 4! When dealing with Korean car dealers be nice to them and they will give you the world!

Had the car since new in Dec 2015, now done 38000km and am still very happy with it. Just the one issue - that I also see in some other reviews. The Media/GPS/DVD head unit started playing up - DVD would continue to eject even when no DVD present and screens would randomly jump around. Kia service team got the error codes out of it and replaced it with a newer Carplay head unit, which has so far been great. Overall very happy with the Kia and very pleased about value for money...7 year warranty, bargin.

An almost 3 month wait to get a simple fault fixed. We found out that after three months a minor fault can be declared a major fault and we can claim a full purchase price refund under Australia consumer law (federal law ). Handy to know when negotiating with an intransigent manufacturer who is claiming supplier problems is the reason for not repairing your car.The satnav rear camera and seat belt warning stopped working in our 2016 ( purchase date) plated 2015) We took it in to be looked at Feb. Finally in April the screen and radio was replaced but not before contacting business and consumer affairs.

I love this car, it is perfect for someone like me who is retired and needs a reliable vehicle. It is fuel efficient, quiet and easy to drive. There is plenty of leg room, both front and rear seats. The air conditioning is good. The boot is very easy to load and unload shopping, in other words it is perfect.

this is a great looking car, inside and out and exceptional value for money. The seven year warranty and roadside assist are better than anything offered by any other manufacturer and were a major factor in my purchase. Car is "sure footed" and drives very directly, being easy to handle. Fuel economy surpassed the stated estimates and the interior is smart and comfortable. The boot is surprisingly large. My only criticism is there is more than usual road noise from the tyres that are fitted as factory standard but cannot fault the vehicle in any other way.

This car represents outstanding value for money. Comes with front & rear parking sensors. I also got rear camera.
Has all the essentials and comes with SEVEN years warranty & 12 mnth service intervals. Easy to drive and quite comfy. Auto gearbox works well although gear changes happen a bit late and so fuel economy is only fair. maybe not the outstanding car in its class but you wont get better value.

Driving Experience, Great, cannot fault the car. The dashboard is made in a way that all your instrumentation is easy to see as this is at an angel fro the driver. Reliability so far I had nor Problems with the car as I am on 49,757 Km right now. Running costs is affordable for services. I still have a 2011 Cerato 2.0 auto with 257,690km, and I never had a problem with this car that is why I kept the car & did not trade it in on the new car. The interior is like the day I bought the car. Both cars have leather interior.

Lovely car to drive. Handles well, quiet on road and very responsive acceleration. Lots of bells and whistles in the S (AV) option. - Love the reversing camera, reversing sensors, auto lights, and all the great little extras. Very happy with the overall performance and handling. The big touch screen and Android auto play is brilliant - Very easy to use and manage. 7 years unlimited km and capped price service warranty is a big plus. Have only had the car for a few days so, can't comment on reliability and fuel consumption yet - time will tell if it lives up to its RACV and Wheels magazine good recommendations. Very good value for money.

Performance is great. In fact the next model (current) has a slightly less powerful 2.0L turbo engine. Very happy with the vehicle. The only problem is, we are waiting for the 3rd warranty changeover of the touch panel as the GPS keeps randomly blacking out. Nuisance is that each time it has taken two weeks to order in the part only to find the same fault in the new one.

The Cerato hatchback has been a terrific car. I bought the higher powered GDI engine and it has done everything from long interstate hauls to the daily suburban grind with ease. In fact there would barely be a day that I've not found pleasure in driving it. Plus it has hauled around a lot of stuff at times. The dealer servicing (Dandenong) has been good and given me the opportunity to drive a range of Kia's as loan cars. All have been good but I'm hoping Kia will release a 1.6 turbo Cerato in time for me to upgrade by the end of this year or early next year.

This has been a very good car without any problems.
The one time i had a problem they told me to bring it in and they fixed it while i waited 10 ( Idling rough computer update )
Only thing i dont like about the car is it is fitted with soft compound tyres ( Cheapies ) i will only get 60.000 kls out of them but i knew that when i bought it as i read reviews on the net. Apart from that would recommend it to anyone i am very happy with it. They just need to put better tyres and it would be the perfect car.

Just to let you know about Tyres i have had car for 3 yrs now and just changed tyres after 64.000 ks not to bad im happy with that. Still running well.
