Kia's ability to design good cars has skyrocketed over the past few years, and I was quite looking forward to trying this one, but for the first couple of days it seemed disappointing. I suspect that some customers may be put off while test driving a demonstrator, and that would be a pity because there's a lot of good stuff going on here. It seems fair to assume that most people who embark on a test drive - whether with a view to buying or writing about the car in question - will set off in an urban environment of some sort. This is not where the Cerato scores. There's a vagueness to all the major controls (particularly the gearchange) which makes town driving a chore and suggests that the car will be clumsy and uncomfortable in all circumstances. In fact this isn't true at all. On country roads the Cerato turns out to be a bit of a goer. Kia has developed a policy of giving its cars soft springs and nicely tuned dampers. As a result, there's a lot of body movement but a minimum of wallow, which produces a fine compromise between ride and handling. Once you're in tune with the Cerato's strengths, you'll find that it's far more nimble than early impressions would suggest. The turbo diesel engine likewise leaves you to find out its best points rather than advertising them right from the start. It's quite a small unit, at just under 1.5 litres, and it doesn't like to rev, but it produces a very useful 100bhp. Although that does not translate into especially exciting performance figures, it does mean that the CRDi spanks along quite smartly. Bearing in mind its most obvious role in life (which probably doesn't involve taking part in many track days), I'd say that it has every bit as much power as it needs. The engine is also reasonably quiet, splendidly economical and very sparing in its production of CO2 - the 129g/km rating puts the CRDi in the 18% Benefit In Kind band. All of this justifies the use of the 1.5-litre engine; if there was ever a temptation to abandon it in favour of the two-litre turbo diesel found elsewhere in the Kia range, it was wisely avoided.

But they are also more unattainable as prices often soar with technology.So it is wise to pause a while and look at some of the developments at the more affordable end of the market.One of the most practical cars of the past 12 months comes from Kia. It is the Cerato 1.5 CRDi LX  Hatchback, bringing diesel power to the Cerato range and providing a sound and attractive family workhorse for £10,995.After some time at the wheel of this car I've come to realise that its spread of attributes is wide. It does not excel in one area but proves to be a very capable all rounder - a fact just recgnised by the Caravan Club which has named it its Tow Car of the Year in the class for cars costing less than £13,500.The 1.5-litre diesel engine has excellent cruising capability with good acceleration. But the big news about this family holdall is that its fuel consumption averages 57.6mpg.The Cerato, although Korean by birth, displays many European influences. Its exterior styling looks as good as some more expensive competitors. The interior is spacious with plenty of leg and headroom for five peopleKia has done a good job on suppression of noise and vibration, because this car displays anything but bargain basement qualities in this respect. I drove one from London to Cheshire and left the car feeling refreshed and without stress.Standard equipment on this model is impressive. It includes air conditioning, remote central locking, a radio/CD/MP3 player plus split and folding rear seats that increase an already generous luggage capacity. The LX trim includes alloy wheels.Kia hopes that the Cerato range will attract more than 30,000 European customers annually within two years of launch.FAST FACTSKia Cerato 1.5 CRDi LX 5drPrice: £10,995Mechanical: 100bhp, 1,493cc, 4cyl diesel engine driving front wheels via 5spd manual gearboxMax speed: 107mph0-62mph: 12.5 secsCombined mpg: 57.6Insurance group: 7CO2 emissions: 129g/kmBiK rating: 18%Warranty: 3yrs/ unlimited mileage; 3yrs paint; 6yrs anti-rust Words: Ian Johnson Keywords: kia, cerato Rate this article: Login to rate this article...
