After driving this car for the last month, My favorite aspects are the comfort and leg room.It is a smooth drive and I really enjoy how quiet it is unless want the little bit of grunt and witch to sport mode..A great little car that has all the mod cons.

Great City Car

published

I use the car daily as I drive for Uber. I drive around 35,000 per year. I get the car regularly serviced as per the log book and haven’t had any issues with the car. Easy to drive - GPS and Bluetooth enhance safe driving. Only use 98 Unleaded petrol for maximum kms and economy. Great little car!

Excellent, comfortable, efficient, easy to drive and park.

published

Wonderful family sedan. Used every day, so easy to drive and park.
Regularly cleaned and serviced. So far no problems. Very comfortable car.
There is plenty of boot space, including provision for lowering the back seat for larger items.
Air conditioner easily keeps up with the heat on an above 35 degree day.

Good for the money.

published

For the money you can't go wrong. Long warranty and looks pretty good too. Two years old almost with 50k on the clock. Had some minor issues with the volume control on the steering wheel, minor rear main leak (Kia to be informed next service) and terrible cruise control consistency. Second one I have personally cone across. Despite these little niggles, great affordable family car or commuter.

Best in its class

Bought this in 2016 from Dandenong. Best decision I have made. Use it for work only and will manage to get 600 km on full tank. Spacious and comfortable for long drives. Gives 17 to 18 Km/ ltr on free way.Service is every 15k and cost around 300.
Overall its good car and reliable.

Very good car for the price

published

Every 15k under warrantee..
AM radio not that good in rural areas. Don't use metallic tint. - Ceramic. Also I had faulty antenna amp. Warrantee replacement.
No ignition key light. Annoying.
Cannot activate electric windows when inside the car without key in. Your passenger left in car not happy.
Beware the lights don't Auto switch off, unless you remove keys and lock The car. Maybe a trap.
Other than that, a bloody good car.

2014 Cerato SLi Infotainment Faults

published

Have had mine since August 2014, so far other than destroying 2 YES 2 Infotainment Units, now my 3rd one has decided to kill itself, mechanically no problems whatsoever, fuel economy is great considering, I have the 129kw 2.0ltr, other than the fact the Infotainment Units are CRAP the car itself is a good buy...

Great car bad entertainment system

published

Car is great to drive and has lots of features, great value for money.

The issue I have with it is the entertainment system. Have had three systems so far put into the vehicle. Phone calls are really fuzzy and distorted to the person receiving the call, yet the person in the car hears nothing wrong. The system sometimes won't turn on and at times the radio has no sound. The entertainment system only comes with a three year warranty, the rest of the vehicle is seven years.
Customer service to help us fix the issue is pretty much non existent. They keep saying is a fault with our phones or signals, never mind both my wife and I have bought new phones and driven different routes to prove this theory wrong.

Air conditioner not working have tried to fix it 3 times now and still not working.

published

Air not working. Radio has been changed 3 times still stops for no reason. Gear change when cold gives you whiplash. I was hoping to have a good car but now I would never buy another KIA ever or recommend it to anyone who is looking to buy a new car.

January 12th 2022 Update: Air conditioning

These cars are not quality built, avoid buying one. Air conditioning under powered road noise is so load that you have to turn up the radio. And power is little I have the car sitting in the sun at work till midday and the heat is so bad that it takes 20 minutes till a little bit of cool air comes out.

Fantastic car at a great price

published

I'd been searching for a new car for about 6 months, after looking around at a few options and driving around a family members Cerato I decided to go with it. I have been extremely happy with the purchase. Handling is great and the noise is non existent. Rear-parking camera is a godsend and the built in navigation/media unit is fantastic. I use android auto quite often (although it can be a bit finicky as you must be directly plugged in to use some of the functions). Overall the car looks fantastic and I'm extremly happy with my purchase. Running costs are decent too, and the added function of an eco mode is a welcome one.

Great first car!

published

This has been my biggest purchase to this date. Overall I am extremely happy with what this car has to offer. For the price point it is packed full of features such as front and rear sensors, aux cable, USB charging front screens to display info. This couldn’t provide more bang for your buck as it is cheap to fill up, around $45 and lasts for what seems forever. It’s very roomy in both front and back and has had no issues running so far.
