Just curious mate what has changed that people are happy with crappy plastic interiors that rattle over bumpier roads these days?. There was a time people cared about interior quality and not just some silly big entertainment system that keeps your eyes off the road. I wish things would go back to basics where the cars were well made and the interiors were high quality instead of plastic fantastic. Hyundai used better plastics 5 years ago than they do today. They need to outlaw oversize entertainment screens whilst driving too.

How do you stand the cheapo plastics they keep using in the interiors though? They also squeak and rattle more and more as the car ages. Just not put together properly yet these days they charge more and more premium pricing for less quality overall just to get a faster engine. Reviewers are even glossing over the fact that as a brand new car they have squeaks and rattles on poorer roads. This just indicates a combination of too firm a ride and poor build quality of components. If these were still $20,000 cars then fair enough.

The gearbox isn't great, all windows should be automatic, and it should lock when you walk away. Other than these issues (gearbox being by far the biggest fault and really not good enough), this car is amazing. It even looks great, just not in profile. Close to perfect.

Owner to a brand new cerato GT if you want an exhaust a little louder without deleting anything (potentially voiding warranty and/or ur cars worth less) get a genuine Kia sports exhaust from the nearest Kia dealer, it’s a option for the cerato and its factory so it won’t void warranty and lower the cost of ur car in fact ur car will be worth a little more.

Honestly speaking, the Australian backroads are a breeze to drive this thing through, not too firm in my opinion. However, I found inner western Sydney roads to be far worse and a little annoying to drive through. But given the state of some of those roads, it’s kinda expected with any car u drive in. Edit: I also found the car barely bottoms out and the wheels seem to take most of the harsher bumps (I do worry that I’ve damaged them sometimes when going over bad potholes I didn’t notice, but doesn’t translate too much to the driving experience), that’s a positive I guess?

We wouldn't recommend doing a full brake-hold with a dual-clutch transmission as it can over-work the clutches.
