Kia Cerato Saloon (2004 - 2006) 1.6 LX 4d (2005/55) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Don't know, don't care.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

It's lovely. Partly because of its overall condition but also for the ride, comfort and engine noise.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Kia reliability from personal experience. Value for money especially for a low mileage car with full service history.

What are you likely to buy next?

Kia or Hyundai - any variety - depending on my requirements at the time.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,000

When did you buy the car?

June 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Past experience with Kia and Hyundai and good value for money.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

OK. I wouldn't put it in Corolla or Golf's class but the ride is fairly comfortable and quiet. I haven't thrashed it around corners but it does feel safe enough.

What's it like to park?

Very easy. Just like any other car you have to get used to the dimensions.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I've only had it for a month or so but can't see anything that is wrong or is going wrong. Having said that it's only covered 45,000 miles and has full service history so is practically a 4-5 year old car. I wouldn't expect anything to go wrong in the near future.

What's most practical about your car?

Not much. A simple medium sized saloon car. Has lots of cubby holes including one for sunglasses next to the rear-view mirror.
