Good for the money.
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.

2013 YD 1.8L — Great car
I've had this car now for 2 years and she's a beauty. Good reliable engine and quality build all round. Would definitely buy a Kia again based on this experience. Picked up the Cerato for about $14K in Nov 2016 — pretty much exactly 3 years old with 28,000kms on the odometer. I've reached 60,000kms now and no mechanical breakdowns. I bet you can get a better deal now on this version of the Cerato. I still have manufacturers warranty until 2020! Only minor issues like the cruise control speed set rocker sticking a little bit, and occasionally pr...Read more
oblems connecting the bluetooth with my phone, other than that I can't think of anything wrong with it. The 1.8L engine is actually very powerful for the size too, I get more power than I did in my old 2.0L 2004 Elantra. Worth a look at buying if you find one with low kms and/or at a good price.

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.

Fantastic car at a great price
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!
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.

Value For Money
This is an awesome car. with a price point of under $20000 you cannot ask for more.
6SP Automatic transmission, Good leg room, large boot space, touch screen multimedia system with Android Auto and Apple Car play.
It gives a mileage of around 8 Lt/100km.
I love every bit of it. The purchase was smooth, sales representative at Kia Parramatta was very friendly and gave a good deal.

It is everything you’ll need! Great for a small family.
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.

A fabulous car for the money.
Every time we took our 2008 BMW in for a service the mechanic would warn us that this or that was going to crap itself before long - if it wasn't the diff or gearbox it was always something else and it was going to cost heaps to fix, so we started looking around for a replacement. We settled on the Kia Cerato after looking at a few different makes - and so glad we did. It is beautiful to look at, drives like a dream (we reckon it's better than the Beema) and has lots of options like reversing cameras, bluetooth etc - heaps for the money (unde...Read more
r $20k drive away!) The first service was ridiculously cheap (about $48) and the mechanic came to the office. Now we have the peace of mind of a 7 year warranty and 5 year fixed price service agreement. No more worries like we had with the BMW. Kia have really lifted their game and I would recommend the Cerato - it is incredible value for money and I am surprised there aren't more of them on the road.Similar opinion?

Great little runabout.
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.

Kia cerato 2016 sav great
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.

Great realible car
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.

Smooth, powerful and sleek - But dealership service disappoints!
Drove a friend's 2016 Cerato and I was so impressed that I bought one for myself. The main reason: very comfortable chair, powerful, sleek (sedan), and smooth.
I have owned Hyundai's and Kias before and they are pretty trouble free and solid. They have come a long way on the handling department.
Unlike most other Kia's/Hyundais, the cerato MY2017 has a decent power to weight ratio, and is reasonably punchy.
Problem I had is that mine had a vibration on the steering wheel from day 1. I got my cerato with an upgrade for the wheels. The...Read more
dealership carried the work as part of a deal. I suspected it was a balancing issue. Made a claim under the warranty, and after a test drive in the highway where the vibration is very present was told that car is "normal". How do you argue with that? you say it vibrates (and it does), he says it doesn't while holding the steering wheel (which vibrates)?Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great car
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.

A surprisingly good drive.
I rented a car for 12 days and covered about 1500 km.
The good points -
comfortable driving position with all controls intelligently placed,
good engine power and excellent 6 speed auto transmission,
generous sized boot,
fuel consumption fine at 6.93L per 100km with 80% country/20% city driving,
suspension well sorted, steering light and easy.
Not so good -
crazy cruise control which is fine for flat and uphill but it tries too hard going down hills, even changing down to 3rd gear which makes the engine rev loudly,
FM radio reception was not much good outside a 35km radius from town.

Love my Kia
My Kia cerato sedan drives perfectly. Handles well and was comfortable driving it as soon as I drove it out of the dealership.
Beautiful exterior and interior. Very roomy and comfortable to sit in.
I did purchase the basic S model but for only an extra $500 I got the 7 inch screen and reverse camera which was well worth it. The later model looks better then the early release one. The new grill looks awesome.
I was looking at the Mazda 2 and the i30 as I only wanted to spend around the 20 k mark. I am SO glad I went into Kia. Cerato ...Read more
is by far more superior then the above mentioned in my opinion. The other two can't compete almost like they are in a different league then the cerato. More like its competitor is the Elantra and Mazda 3 but way cheaper and longer warranty. The only negative is I have to wait for Apple play to be avalible. All though it is for free.Similar opinion?

Great car to drive.
Purchased new in Nov 2014 this is a very comfortable and easy car to drive with 11 months trouble free motoring. It has a very quiet cabin, you can hardly hear the engine when pulled up at traffic lights. Fantastic economy on long trips as well as around town, with a smooth responsive 1,8 litre engine. With 7 year warranty it is great value for money with fixed price servicing and road side assist. Looked after with professional servicing at Gateway motor group Fairy Meadow.
