Excellent vehicle and warranty

published

Very stable and reassuring to drive. It corners well with the right balance and understeer. The suspension tuning is spot on. I have Michelin Primacy 3 ST tyres which are great and extremely quiet.

The interior is roomy and very comfortable. The wheelbase is longer than the i30 and this makes it look more sleek. The reliability has been 100%. Very happy.

My best ever car

published

This is such a surprising car. I bought the 2 litre Cerato which has heaps of get up and go, is very roomy and comfortable and yet so compact which makes parking easy. It is very reasonably priced for all the features included. The 7 year warranty makes it a real winner in my opinion. I am also finding I am spending less on petrol than I was before.

Lots of features for good price

published

This car has heaps of little features that most cars don't have these days.. e.g. front sensors, android auto/apple car play, reverse camera (with upgraded AV unit pack). For the price you pay, they are good features to have. My car was recently rammed by another car from the rear. The back crumpled. I was safe, but my car is waiting to be repaired by the insurer. Now that i have a rental car (Holden astra), i miss my kia cerato features. Sports mode is also fun. The car is quite zippy and economical on fuel.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
