GT or R-Line? Kia and Volkswagen both offer unique takes on the warm hatch formula, each with a distinct character.

The top dog in the Cerato's non-performance line-up stays true to its roots but is merely average in a rapidly-developing segment.

The mid-spec Korean hatchback is a solid all-round proposition, but bringing safety credentials up to scratch costs extra.

The Kia Cerato has been given a mid-life glow-up. It's still a good, simple hatchback, but it's much more expensive than it once was.

Leo purchased this Kia Cerato new for $37,000 (including all on-road costs). Leo would buy this car again because: "I would buy this car again if Kia decides to create one with more power to match the i30 N Sedan. However either way this car is great, it looks good, it handles well, drives well, and the amount of safety technology packed into this car makes it a great value!"
