2005 Kia Cerato GLS review from UK and Ireland
"A good buy if the MPG is improved"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel consumption disappointing.
General comments?
Acceptable acceleration, third gear most flexible, 0-60 is better than published specs.
Fuel consumption only 50mpg on extra-urban type runs at 60mph, driven very gently. I find this disappointing as I got 43mpg from previous car, 1.8 litre petrol. Advertised "extra urban" is over 70mpg. Faulty? However I got nearly the same mpg at 70mph on a longer run.
Seats are a bit insubstantial with limited adjustment.
Good level of equipment for the price.
