Used Kia Cerato Hatchback (2004 - 2006) Review Review by David Ross on 13 Feb 2009 Last Updated: 02 Sep 2013 2 The Cerato was Kia's short-lived stop-gap hatchback before the vastly superior Ceed came along in 2007. 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. Summary Driving & Performance Equipment Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Owners' Reviews Also Consider Facts & Figures Gallery Well equipped, good value, affordable to run, comfortable Dull styling, poor quality and cheap-looking interior, unexciting to drive New price range: £9,845 - £11,805 Used price range: £221 - £1,157 View all used prices Summary Parkers Rating: 2 out of 5 The Cerato was Kia's short-lived stop-gap hatchback before the vastly superior Ceed came along in 2007. 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 diesel engine is pretty good, but ultimately there are plenty of better cars available for the same money.
