Kia Cerato Koup 1.6 T-GDi Review: Fast learner, accomplished graduate

What we like:

A polished

refined and well-built car that's clearly a result of a lot of effort - and it has paid off

especially with its exterior looks and interior quality.

What we dislike:

It has only two airbags

and there are still a few rough edges - but very few.

The Cerato Koup is proof that Kia is a fast learner, one that would really make the Japanese manufacturers worried. They have taken the best from others and adopted them, or made it better, while adding a touch of individuality that is shaping to be a Kia standard. It certainly feels like a very complete product, one that Kia has clearly put a lot of effort into making and they have largely succeeded.

It can be considered an accomplished graduate in many regards, although like all students, one never stops learning.
