Kia Cerato YD (Hatchback) Si (2013-2018)

Silky Silver
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.

Very Economical
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.

Enjoy driving it everyday.
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.

Great value for money
Bought an ex-demo si hatch version of this car to replace my wife's 2010 Rio. Needed something with a bit more space & better for highway trips away. Was looking at a new base model but ended up purchasing this one with 6,000km on it but more bells & whistles for same price. 2l engine is a nice surprise after the Rio's pokey little 1.3l albeit a little noisy when cold. Electric steering is a bit strange to get used to at first but other than that drives very smoothly & actually handles pretty well for what it is. Have noticed what sounds like a...Read more
wheel bearing or driveshaft sound from RH front when car is first driven from cold with the window down. Mentioned it at dealership & was assured it would be replaced at next service if still evident then. Very comfortable seats with leather accent & GPS works well after you work it out. Cruises nicely on the highway a leisurely 2300 rpm for 100kph, compared to the Rio's laboured 3,500rpm for same. Even accounting for the 2014 build date of the ex-demo, it still has outstanding warranty coverage of 5 years from our date of purchase, a bargain that hopefully won't be needed. All in all, very pleased with quality & function overall & hoping to get many years of trouble free motoring.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Early YD cars were badly painted and put together.
Performance and handling were very good. Noisy 2.0 litre engine especially on cold start up.
The Interior was excellent, finish was above average in this class. Plenty of room.
I had a car that had a front end noise that could not be fixed to my satisfaction. The paintwork was below average and the rear bumper from new wasn't fitted correctly. It should not have left the factory in Korea with such a glaring fault. A symptom of mass produced cars from Korea. They still are not at Japanese standards.

Worth every cent, leaves more expensive cars in the shade.
The ergonomics of this car are fantastic, everything falls to hand nicely. The controls are user friendly and intuitive in operation, even the satnav is good. There are few intrusive alarms or attempts by the car to take control. I have owned cars over three times the price of the Cerato and driven cars many times more expensive but would not go back to any of them in preference to this car. Once you add the warranty to the fact that this is a well priced, well designed car that drives well there simply is no comparable product.
Summary: If you are buying a new car in this class just buy a Cerato. Hope this helps.

Great car
I first came across this car as a rental from Thrifty. It looked sleek in silver and offered a red lit interior with more features than my Holden Cruze CDX.
What I found most impressive was the fact that although this car offers all the creature comforts such as bluetooth, auto-central locking once mobile, smooth 6-speed auto and steering wheel paddles, was the fact that this thing can hit 0-100km/h in under 8 seconds.
I've since traded in my Cruze for a new Cerato from Joe Crisafio in Perth and honestly, the 115kw engine gets to work as...Read more
soon as you put the foot down to take off. It's like a Jack Russell ready to let go at a board of balloons on the floor on an episode of Jay Leno. Shifting the auto trans manually is responsive, the steering is light but not overly light to make it "unsportlike". It takes corners very well but bucket seats would have certainly made the overall comfort much better, my model has the 17" Koup wheels which I requested for my Hatch Si as I understand this is a good rule of thumb for handling. It's got a load of room and it doesn't sacrifice power for comfort even with a full cargo. A strong, practical and reliable car with a decent safety rating.1 comment

I agree with you on the service issue.. i got my cerato SLi with Sat. Nav. The sat nav was faulty after a few days, it took me 10 days to get the appointmennt for inspection. Then a few days to order ... Read more
a new sat. nav. and another 10 days to wait for next appointment. I have to call Kia customer service to push it and make the appointment waiting time down to a few days... the warranty is good but if it is so hard to get appointment, it makes the customer unhappy as well...
