What Car? says
For The Cerato is roomy, and has plenty of equipment, including lots of safety kit
Against It's a comfortable car, but vague steering and body roll mar the drive
Verdict It's safe, well equipped and practical, but driving it is a let-down
Go for… 1.6 GS
Avoid… 2.0 SE
- 1. Build quality is reasonable, but the materials used are far from the best around
- 2. If the clutch pedal works anything less than smoothly, then don't bother with the car
- 3. Give the manual gearbox a good test, and be wary if it doesn't engage first or reverse gear smoothly
- 4. Engines that sound unduly noisy on start-up are best avoided. Make sure the cooling system works properly, too
- 5. Both the hatch and this saloon have good boots, but the saloon isn't quite as practical
