Ian, Lancashire

Kia Cerato 1.5 CRDi 2006

I’ve had this car for around 2 months. It’s well made (better than my previous VW Polo) and a smooth drive. The engine is quite low-revving and doesn’t like being worked hard. Having said that it pulls well from around 2,000rpm so you never really feel the need to thrash it. Driven with reasonable restraint, but still doing 65-70 on the motorway, it returns 59mpg. The steering can feel a touch over-assisted and the buttons on the stereo are fiddly but otherwise it’s hard to fault. Kia tends to suffer from its old image, but the Cerato is an underrated car. Definitely worth a look secondhand if your budget is tight.

Kia Cerato 1.6 LX

I’ve had my Cerato for 12 months and have decided to look for a replacement. It’s not that there is anything drastically wrong with it, although the steering can sometimes feel a little vague, it’s cheap to run and it’s quite a comfortable little car but a little uninspiring. Having said all that I wouldn’t have a problem buying a Kia car again.
