2009 Kia Cerato TD review from Australia and New Zealand
"Very capable, and would buy it again!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
SO far only a minor paint chip near the boot, not sure how it happened, but underneath does seem like it is rusted, could be the rust proofing used in the factory.
General comments?
So far so good. As my A to B daily drive this car is great. Far more responsive than anything I have driven from KIA before.
Beige interior I can see being an issue in the future with the kids, black would have been better.
Great value for the price, 6 airbags. Handles great. Have not pushed it to the limits yet and do not think I will, great pickup on the freeway!
Can't fault it!
* Update 30/05/09*
Still nothing wrong with the car. Has not missed a beat. Now 3000klms on the car.
Seat comfort is better in some of the other cars I have driven, but it is adequate. I wish I could change my ratings. Love this KIA!
