If you are looking for a good car, then the Cerato is a good compromise considering the value it offers in terms of performance and comfort. But if you are planning to make your friends jealous, then the Cerato's roomy interior will not match that of a Peugeot 307, Mercedes C Class, VW Golf, or even a Honda Civic. The exterior design of the vehicle is quite the opposite, and equipment is more than correct with airbags, air conditioning (automatic optional), electric doors (remote control optional), tape player (CD optional), and all electric windows/rear view mirrors. The car also comes with a powerful 2.0 CRDi diesel which is responsive and quiet, and very capable. The gearbox is also very well laid out for the city and the highway, and the car's response is always satisfying.
