Kia Cerato (LD)

Product Overview
Kia Cerato (code LD) is an entry-level compact sedan in production from 2004 to 2007. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.0 liters.
Limited to small-displacement I4s from the turn of the century, the Cerato was severely under-powered. These engines were paired to basic 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatics that were, again, rather outdated for the 21st century.
On top of that, Kia didn't care to endow the Cerato with sophisticated suspension setup.
The only plus is the small 10.1m (33.1ft) turning circle (and perhaps tiny footprint).
