Kia Cerato Saloon (04-06) - Review Review by David Ross on 13 February 2009 The Cerato saloon replaced the old Mentor in the Kia line up and it's a big improvement, however that's not a difficult achievement. It was designed for 'European' tastes but unfortunately the dour and ungainly looks, along with a low rent and cheap-feeling interior meant few people bought one. It's a good value used buy - as long as the price is low enough - and is an ideal choice if you want a reliable runabout. The saloon version is even more scarce than the hatchback and lacks the five-door models practicality. It's best avoided as there are far better alternatives out there. 2 out of 5 Other Kia reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery 2 out of 5 Buying used The Cerato can be a good bargain if you're after a cheap runabout. The diesel commands a small premium over the petrol but it's only worth paying extra if you intend on covering high mileages. However there's not many about and the saloon is even rarer than the hatchback.

You could struggle to sell one quickly, but priced right it will shift. Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
