What's not to love!

published

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.

Value For Money

published

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.

published

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.

Great little runabout.

published

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

published

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.

Fatastic, comfortable, responsive and great value.

published

Purchased October 2016, my Kia Cerato S Premium is an absolute pleasure to drive. Good fuel economy and very comfortable, with all the extras such as auto lights, auto door locking, rear camera, GPS Sat Nav included. A software update fixed my problem with the AV unit cutting out intermittently. In Econ mode, the engine noise is a bit high when shifting down a gear. Overall, an excellent car for the price with the added bonus of the 7 year warranty and fixed price servicing. I'll definately be looking at the Cerato again when it is time to update.

Purchased in October 2021 for A$22,800.00.

Brilliant car

published

Ditched the european car and will never buy another. If someone told me 5 years ago that I would love a Kia more than any other car I have had I would have laughed at them, but it has been excellent. Pleasure to drive over short or long distances. Not a thing has gone wrong except for the Sat Nav which packed it in recently and was quickly replaced under warranty. Servicing isn't exactly a bargain, but at least being capped we know what we are in for. Looking forward to getting a larger Kia sometime soon.

KIA CERATO YD SLI 2017

published

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.

Great realible car

published

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.

Perfect cars become good overtime

published

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!

was pleasantly suprised with this little beauty.

published

this is a great looking car, inside and out and exceptional value for money. The seven year warranty and roadside assist are better than anything offered by any other manufacturer and were a major factor in my purchase. Car is "sure footed" and drives very directly, being easy to handle. Fuel economy surpassed the stated estimates and the interior is smart and comfortable. The boot is surprisingly large. My only criticism is there is more than usual road noise from the tyres that are fitted as factory standard but cannot fault the vehicle in any other way.

Kia Cerato Koup 1.6 Turbo 2016

published

Driving Experience, Great, cannot fault the car. The dashboard is made in a way that all your instrumentation is easy to see as this is at an angel fro the driver. Reliability so far I had nor Problems with the car as I am on 49,757 Km right now. Running costs is affordable for services. I still have a 2011 Cerato 2.0 auto with 257,690km, and I never had a problem with this car that is why I kept the car & did not trade it in on the new car. The interior is like the day I bought the car. Both cars have leather interior.

Great value for money. Beautiful car to drive.

published

Lovely car to drive. Handles well, quiet on road and very responsive acceleration. Lots of bells and whistles in the S (AV) option. - Love the reversing camera, reversing sensors, auto lights, and all the great little extras. Very happy with the overall performance and handling. The big touch screen and Android auto play is brilliant - Very easy to use and manage. 7 years unlimited km and capped price service warranty is a big plus. Have only had the car for a few days so, can't comment on reliability and fuel consumption yet - time will tell if it lives up to its RACV and Wheels magazine good recommendations. Very good value for money.
