Great City Car
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!

2014 Cerato SLi Infotainment Faults
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...

What's not to love!
We have been very happy with our Kia Cerato. Mechanically it has never let us down yet. It is extremely comfortable with leather heat/cool electric seats, auto lights, keyless entry and auto locking, sun roof. Looks are very pleasing. Only problem we have had was with the Radio Head Unit which just died after 2 years and was promptly replaced with a new (and better, more up to date) one. The sedan boot is very large and rear seats can fold down to make it even larger. Great warranty. Great price.

KIA CERATO YD SLI 2017
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.

MY new car
Having only had it 5 days so far so good. I have to readjust myself to new seating etc but good. The drive is good and getting used to it compared to old car. The motor has plenty of power and gearbox has excellent response when going up from slow speed. The legroom is ample but have to sit in back to evaluate it. My passengers are happy so must be ok. Interior is very good. Leg room is a problem [minor] as got to get seats set up properly as being tall makes it a bit harder in/out. So far it is hard to evaluate fuel use as only 5 days old.i wa...Read more
tch the gauge to see if good economy and good as not lead foot. Dashboard is well lit and plenty of instruments to look at. Radio is very good but have only got 2 stations using at present so have to read the manual. Have got Bluetooth installed but can answer in calls but have to work out out calls. Having this car hopefully it will be last in line of 8. The warranty is very good. 7 years/105000 ks,7 years fixed price service and 7 year roadside assist. When i asked about the assist i was told its part of the price etc. I have 50 years NRMA so to keep the continuity of service they drop down membership to Traveller Care and that way i keep up with them and Kia if needed. It covers me IF i need assist outside of 100 km distance and no Kia coverage. I was told by a friend to keep the selling dealer service car and each year the time is added onto the list. Not sure about using cruise control yet but time will see if i do. No noise into cabin as i have 4 weather shields and that keeps it out. September 19th 2017 Update: Using a KIA cerato After buying my Kia and driving for a couple of months I am very happy with it. It has a couple of quirks that need to be remembered. There are 2 small glass windows in front of both side mirrors. Why they are there is not known but very distracting when using the mirrors for lane changing. Also no CD player and only AM/FM radio which are very good in city but not knowing non-city stations makes it hard. I have about 300 CD,s that need to be loaded onto USB's so I can listen to music. As for driving it is very good on open roads and good economy if cruise control and high octane fuel [not E10] is used. Just had free 3000 km service. One bit of advise. IF by chance you need to buy/install new outside mirrors expect to pay $700 plus supply/fit. Just been down that road after someone [clown] hit it. Plenty of boot space and 5 people sit ok. We have baby seat in rear so that cuts it to 4 but still room to sit in comfort. One thing that i found out is the car has 7 year roadside assist as well as your normal company [whatever state]. But you need to contact them and get special price that allows your membership to stay until other expires. It is good for country areas where Kia may not have a presence but they use state wide people.1 comment

Perfect cars become good overtime
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!

2015 Cerato SLi Fantastic vehicle.
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.

Not the best, not the worst - terrible Sat Nav
The car is quite nice in its price range. SLi being the top of the range model, interiors are nice and the leather seats are comfortable. However the factory fitted navigation unit has failed thrice till date and KIA have replaced the unit all 3 times. The 4th unit is working fine till date (fingers crossed)
The car drives well but I find that it is a bouncy over potholes and bumps. I have checked with various tyre pressures and also got the suspension tested but it looks like that's the design of the car.
Have dealt with 3 different KIA servic...Read more
Purchased in December 2021 at Kia Dealers for $31,000.00.

KIA Cerato SLi Sat/Nav GDI - Update 110,000km's
OK - the car has just reached 110,000km! Mechanically great, at the 105,000 service no issue. I have put a tow bar on it and just towed a 4.3M boat to 100km/h but of course on 20mms, I wouldn't suggest going long distance.
The ininterior is beginning to show some age particularly the drivers seat, I'm 84kg so if you are 100kg then the seats may flatten.
How to read my review - I add a paragraph at each service or at each key milestone - which is really just a regular blog style update.

p Victoria, NSW and QLD - all types of roads and conditions, lots of country and freeway driving, mechanically doing really well - fuel economy low 6 litre/100km's - previously I did get 5.4litre/100 km, but this time no so. After the last service the fuel efficiency dropped a little - will check what this is about. The rear passenger side window problem resurfaced - so it does not wind! Otherwise all is good. We went through some very dusty roads there was no leaking into the cabin so happy with this, did some 22% grade roads and winding rough surface roads the car handled these well - the suspension seemed very adaptable and even corregations did not cause too much change of character. The car now needs a good wash..... I just had the 60,000km service, this cost $475.00 Aud, there were no additional costs. They changed the oil, fluids, hepa filter, fuel pump filters, etc. There is a noticeable improvement in acceleration, so I think changing/checking the fuel system earlier would be a good idea...it could be due to poor quality/dirty fuel being provided by the local stations. I will assess this at the next 15,000km service. There were no issues from the service, they did notice my brakes were due for replacement, but I had indicated I would do this myself.Similar opinion?

Yep I agree about Sat Nav and Tyre Noise
If I was repurchasing a YD Cerato I'd opt for an aftermarket navigator, they're Les troublesome, and at least you can set them without running the engine.
Tyre noise is woeful, and I agree that you can't hear the radio on the highway. If the SatNav version had SDVC (speed dependent volume control), as installed in lower grade models, it might be a bit easier to live with. I've purchased a set of 16 inch YD wheels and tyres in the hope that the extra inch of rubber reduces road noise.

Fitted 16 inch mags from a 2015 S Premium model and on a recent trip from Brisbane to Hunter region, road noise levels were marginally quieter, with a slight improvement in ride.
The sat/nav/radio needs replacing again. The second time now under warranty. Does Kia have a permanent fix for these things?
I’d hate to think what it’ll cost to replace it when out of warranty, whi... Read more
