[@stephenhendricks103]

The Cerato comes to the US in mid-2019 as a 2020 Kia Forte GT. The Forte sedan is already a compelling value alternative to the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. The addition of a hatchback and the GT's enhancements will add to its appeal. Unfortunately, there are no plans to bring the Hyundai i30N to the US. The guts of that model is in the Veloster N hatchback, a vehicle that's earned lots of applause from reviewers here.

[@MLife1972]

Great review. Love the rating system and the photography. Two things that I didn't like... The way you put your foot on the car was a bit disrespectful to the folks who lend you the car and you didn't fold the seats down to show the cargo space. Besides that, please keep it up.

[@lpkustom]

"I don't know what to do with my hands" -Ricky Bobby

[@letsseeif]

Great review Richard. I reckon you've got the 'happiest' disposition in the 'car test' game. Seeing I've an Hyundai i30SR Premium, I particularly like Kia and note the relative relationship. Whether one prefers the i30's dour Germanic look, or the Cerato's elegance is up to them. Just this. The Hyundai Kia nexus, will see their products edge ever closer to the all conquering Toyota. And that Warranty! It's the 'icing on the lovely cake'. :-)

[@MrBenHaynes]

I don't see the i30 as dour, it is very practical. Roomy with a small "footprint". They are a little thirsty and heavy compared to the competition, (esp the Golf by ~2L/100km and 200 kegs)

[@letsseeif]

@@MrBenHaynes -> We've actually got an i30 (PD) SR Premium, & yes, it's a veritable 'Tardis' inside, so we agree with as your mentioned "roomy with a small footprint." And yes, it's a touch thirsty, but I mentally add this to running costs, & I still think it's a bargain. However, one always has the option of running in the 'ECO' mode, which in effect does much to ameliorate the fuel usage, fuel consumption being one of Hyundai's few downsides.

[@omgwatdouwant]

Pretty sure I read somewhere the GT is tuned to be more stiff on the suspension. The models below are actually more comfy, but obviously you don't get the turbo engine.

[@mrknowmyself]

Everyone talks this, but Kia really should redesign their logo

[@shreckm6470]

[@belvederedog3015]

I have the sedan and don't really notice the "blind spot"

[@hegepisti01]

I had a closer look on the cars in this category and after a few test drives I ordered my Cerato GT hatch (in sunset orange). Sad there was no manual option.

[@omgwatdouwant]

That is a nice colour. Haven't seen one on the streets yet but sunset orange was a colour i dug....too bad only not available in lower models. I got the S with safety in gravity blue.

[@dingleberry42069]

I’ve never been in a car where I haven’t felt the tram bumps.....don’t use that as a excuse as a negative

[@silentrefusal9911]

What's wrong with you? That's one of the nicest side profile for a hatchback I can remember recently

[@jonchan1297]

Silent Refusal think it’s the it looks like a six inch sub and foot long sub did the dirty and made a 3/4 long sub.

[@silentrefusal9911]

That hatch version looks more like a station wagon than a hatch, trunk is a bit longer to be called a hatchback

[@WearySteerer]

I bought a sport + I didn't get wireless charging 😭 Electric park brake with brake hold function would also be nice for all models

[@babo9669]

Wireless charging is only on the GT, not lower models, but easy to get a wireless charging add on and plug it into the USB or 12v port

[@darthvader8433]

Changed my perception of the Cerato from a modern Camira to something decent. Not enough to stop me wanting a V6 turbo Stinger though..

[@iEnofadov]

Great looking cars, especially the hatch, but what were Kia thinking with putting the rear indicators and reverse lights in the rear bumper?! It's kind of spoiled the look of the car at the rear. And plus, if you're going to have a carpark bingle and reverse into something, what's the bet you're going to damage those lights! That just adds to the repair cost. It would've given the car a lot cleaner look at the rear if they had just intergrated those lights into the main rear brake light housings. I agree with regards to the interior and even the carpets, there are some cheap looking and feeling materials in the cabin and it makes it feel a bit down market, but otherwise it's got a lot of gear at an affordable price. I still love my Holden Astra RS-V manual though! :)

[@OrnumCR]

You could argue the same point that it’s easy to ‘BREAK’ the lower lamps on the Hyundai Kona as those lamps aren’t in the rear ‘BRAKE’ lamp clusters either!!

[@iEnofadov]

Yes, I do agree! The same with the new Hyundai Santa Fe as well! ** Sorry BRAKE light**

[@dylanbarrett5215]

I actually own one and i like how different it looks

[@juk5766]

I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about the position of the rear indicators! Definitely a step backwards there for me in terms of design.

[@The_1Z]

Does anyone know if this is the Forte 5 for the US market?

[@scooternutmick]

It’s actually amazing, shockingly good value if everything is as good as you describe. I have been riding scooters for ten years and I am looking to buy a new car. Seriously considering this and the Rio GT-Line. The Mazda 3 with the fancy engine is still in testing. The Swift Sport just isn’t enough of a car to keep long term. I’ll have to drive some i30s. It’s an exciting time to be looking for a car. Thanks for the high quality review. 👍

[@vn3801]

I drove 160kms and the readout was "according to the trip meter was 7.6L/100" this statement is pure genius

[@wheresmycheese8511]

[@liberty0758]

Well, define affordable first. If it's like under 10k or something and you can drive a manual, have a look at Renault Megane Sport 225.

[@dylanbarrett5215]

U can get a base cerato for 20k

[@CheatinJerry]

Great review again - one of the very best reviewers out there thanks Richard.

[@carsguide]

Thanks mate, that means a lot to me. Richard

[@sch-corp]

Great review, that warranty and capped price servicing makes it really compelling. Just needs another ~50nm of torque and it should have enough power for most people...

[@Clove_Parma]

Most people are fine with a car that does 0-100 in 9-10 seconds. This is just at an awkward point between mainstream and enthusiastic performance

[@tokamana]

Great review! I always enjoy your reviews with your excellent sense of humour. It looked like you thoroughly enjoyed driving this car. Thanks!

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

This car looks like a 2020 Kia Forte GT. Cerato in Europe, Forte in America?

[@hegepisti01]

Cerato in Australia. Kia brings the similar looking Proceed GT to Europe. Look at the back of that beauty: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKuldapobJ6lgLM

[@letsseeif]

Kind of analogous with my wife's red seatbelted Hyundai 2018 PD i30SR Petrol Turbo 201hp Premium DCR? (crazy name) I find it 'kind of cool', but not a patch on my E-Type coup back in the sixties.

@@carsguide Yeh mate, good structure & good balance of personality/humour. This new model of Cerato hatch almost looks like the 4 door "coupe" I30 in Europe - did they say anything about it being related?

[@faris.R56]

Kia using a high quality hard plastic not the low end plastic. You don't see or review Perodua Cars yet their interior plastic material is inferior.

[@DEATHSTARER]

If a car is not an extension of your ego,then this car,along with its sister car,the Hyundai i30 N Line,are perfect.Plenty of grunt for everyday use,and great value for money when compared to some of the Eurotrash that cost twice as much (AND you get less features).

[@carsguide]

Nail. On. The. Head. Cheers Richard

I prefer the i30's more conventional hatch looks while the sloping hatch of the Cerato is kinda like a mix between the Civic hatch and a first gen X6

[@billronald147]

Re Cost of ownership of GT. Analysis may not be full and complete. Well into the deal before fully appreciating some differences from my existing KIA Optima 1. Service intervals are 10,000k therefore 1/3 more frequent and more expensive per K 2. Per service, costs are also slightly higher 3. More importantly Fixed Price Servicing applies only to 7 years or 70,000k not the 7 years 105,000k of other Kia models. Same applies to Stinger Petrol Turbo

[@OfficialMINIm]

Jaymate lol you need to calm the fuck down 😂🤣 who gives a shit about my opinion on the car? Anyone can have a different opinion. The fuck is wrong with you? Its so not normal for anyone to react like you. Are you a KIA representative? Or are you being paid by them to advertise for them? I assume you have one or are looking to buy one otherwise. Mate, it doesn’t matter what others think of it. If it suits you, get it. To answer your question, id honesty get the i30 SR or the accent sport/SR. Same engine, same gearbox, same performance but i feel that they look better.. and this isn’t that much cheaper than them. The new mazda 3 coming out looks real good too.
