2017 Cerato Sport Hatchback

published

Use the car everyday- Brisbane traffic and Westfield car parks. Amazing mileage value, So much room! My pram and baby seat fits comfortably with room to spare for luggage on our family trips 500km south. Apple car play is next level! Effortless driving and a pleasure to be in- even my husband enjoys driving it around.

Purchased in April 2021 at Kia Dealers.

Terrible customer service

published

Car Dealers are OK but Kia customer service over the phone is terrible. Never listen to customer and rude.
Problem with cars
- Radio and reversing camera had problem from first day.
- recently been Kia Moorooka and find out front tyres are gone. I do have deep concern about the quality of the tyre. They said they not manufacturing the tyre buy from someone. Reducls answer from Kia manager.
Please buy some quality Japanese brand. You pay little extra at initial stage but worth quality and service.
Good Luck

Great little car

published

I have used this car for Community work for approx. 6 months now and it runs like a dream. Great mileage and has all the tech gadgets I didn't know I needed! Has reversing camera and front/side/back sensors. It's really zippy yet has enough "muscle power" for long highway trips. Would definitely recommend.

Very elegant design - smooth handling

published

Stylish design, that is affordable if you are looking for a small car. Very good with sharp corners and maneuvering through traffic. Have leather seats, very comfortable. The GPS in built system has a added traffic notice feature that is very good when you want to avoid traffic. . .

Perfect Small Car with lot of punch!!

published

The best car so far I've had! I bought the Cerato Hatch Sports +, from Essendon Kia, They matched my price and gave me the vehicle with all the extras i wanted within a week. Unbelievable service experience I had. Better than another Kia dealership in the city. It's got the punch when accelerating with the Sports mode. I'm extremely happy with the performance so far and would recommend any one to look at the Kia brand. Would have loved a 60 liter tank, as I need to fill up twice a week due to my weekly travels of over 700 km. I'm still getting used to the Cruise control responsiveness which is little bit slow, in my opinion and previous experience.

Great value for money - Sporty and classy

published

The Kia Cerato drives like a sporty and classy car all in one. It handles the road well in the wet and dry conditions. Extra legroom and height for tall people. Loving the Apple car play. Makes driving a pleasure. Have found the running costs to be lower than previous cars.

Cerato Sport + 2018

published

Great value for money, bought new for $22,900. My son has a Cerato too, they are ultra reliable. The Sport + has an amazing amount of extras; motorised retractable door mirrors, rear air-con, leather seats, cooled glove box, good sat nav plus Android Auto/Apple Car Play. Fuel consumption is great, around 6l/100 km on a run. The ride and handling are sharp. Downsides (which are all mitigated by price and 7 year warranty and Road Side Assist) are; no lane departure/blind sport or adaptive cruise, normal air-con not dual climate, auto box can be a bit erratic at 1st but it has a self learning ECU so it calms down with age. The value proposition is hard to ignore as you feel you're sat in a $40k+ vehicle. Very happy with the purchase

Excellent.......except for the radio

published

The car is great. I bought it as I'm now commuting 100km each way to work and this seemed like a nice, comfortable small car with good fuel economy. And that's exactly how it has worked out. It's comfortable on the long drives, the auto is nice and the Android Auto is great (I picked the Sport model)

BUT the radio reception is useless. Our other two cars pick up JJJ just fine in my area, but in the Cerato I need to be much closer to the city before it's listenable at all. This is a real bummer for such a long commute.

Never regretted this decision for a moment

published

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.

Zippy,Well Appointed and Value for Money

published

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.
