2006 Kia Cerato LX from Egypt - Comments

Nothing so far...

1st of all, I bought this car after a looooong search and comparison between several cars ranging in the same genre and the same price...elantra, optra, sunny, gen2,nubira and finaly I bought it coz it this kia cerato might not be the best car, but it is the best value for a car, meaning it is the best looking car (u can compare it with the octavia and corolla) and its fuel consumption is very good coz it has lower hourse power than most of them (105HP) which I find very good option, it moght be poor looking from the inside, but I don't buy a car for its looks, and the performance and the stability in high ways are great and also the spare parts are realtively fair, the front light thing costs almost 90$ so it is fair I think...anyways I really recommend this car for all the people whom are hesitated in the few cars I mentioned above.

Yes... the KIA Cerato is a good option... but does it have it all???

Unfortunately, the cars resold in Egypt lack very important features- mainly related to the safety and control. The most important one from my prospective is the ABS and EBD. These features are also lacked in similar cars (Elantra, Optra,..).

Bottom line, if you're looking for a good-looking prestegic family car below the 100K L.E, Cerato is a good option. But if you have a higher budget, you should look for a car that has ABS, EBD,..

How can one claim a car reliable having driven less than 1000 km in it?

I have bought my cerato 2 years ago, It's painted with epony black. supported with 1.6 DOHC engine manual gearbos. My black monster can reach from the constant to 100 km/h under 10.5 sec. and 202 km/h as a top speed. I had some car drags not some, but many indeed and I had kicked the following list.
