I'm kinda lookin forward to this car as well..after seeing how the Hyundai i30 let me down..
I'm hoping the specs of the car is what we've seen in many website..but I have a feeling they might remove the Start-stop button for the car =/ |

[OT]It's mainly on the i30 price placement..the car itself is well made..
Looking at how Hyundai Malaysia priced the car with it's spec..it is a real disappointment.. See the standard items included here..and compare to ours..it's like bleehhh.. |

Here's the thing I don't get..when other brands such as Toyota, Honda or Nissan have minor problem..people just shrug it off..
And when it comes down to other car makers such as Proton, Perodua, Kia etc..such minor problems becomes a major problem for them =/ |

QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Aug 22 2009, 11:57 PM) That's because the Ceed is exclusive for the European market... so no, neither Naza nor Kia will be bringing them in. Hmm..I've been reading around here that C'eed is exclusively for the European market..but our up north neighbour also have the C'eed in their model range..Kia C'eed @ Thailand *PS: Use the Sitemap and look for the C'eed link*..their site not coded properly for Firefox =/The Ceed got a facelift recently with the Schryer grill incorporated into its front fascia. Some like it, some don't... yet no one can argue that its console design is horrendously out of fashion regardless of the red dials and buttons, as it still uses the old 2006 components.  |

Not everyone is into those Jap cars =/
It may be a copy, but it is much cheaper and it much more practical..loads of reviews on the net says this car is really matching up with the above mentioned brands..in fact..those Japs were warned to watch their backs |

QUOTE(Vannus @ Sep 7 2009, 05:55 PM) If rm6xk for 1.6sx version, then drive this car to SG to install the beutiful Bodykit. I read somewhere it's around 600sgd that is less than rm1.5k. Good value for a gorgeous car. Lol..but gotta consider the incidentals spent to go there..petrol..hotel/place to stay...food and drinks =P |

QUOTE(ardhawk @ Sep 7 2009, 08:22 PM) i hear Naza will bring new car next year.. Not forte, but latest PICANTO  thats is good news, because forte will sell in malaysia under KIA badge  QUOTE(limbu @ Sep 7 2009, 08:43 PM) i dont care it is under which brand . For me Kia badge looks nicer..since only 3 letter..Naza's 4 letter seem to look abit too cramp and the letters are slightly smaller =P Nevertheless..whichever it is badged under..doesn't matter to me..bwaahahaha |

Eh..if I'm not mistaken..it's still using the same Spectra5 engine for the 1.6..but retuned..
Only the 2.0 and 2.4 is using a totally new engine?o_O |

QUOTE(jimmy.soo @ Sep 10 2009, 01:00 PM) i believe what he meant is its using the same old engine with some tuning to make it smoother in terms of acceleration Don't confuse yourself with Spectra and Spectra5 engines..both are totally different engines like bobbychin mention belowsame old 1.6l engine.... hmmm but 1 weird thing is, spectra with the same engine sucks petrol like nobody's business while this dont? maybe because of the tuning? QUOTE(bobbychin @ Sep 10 2009, 01:32 PM) that was the old spectra engine....spectra5 actually using Hyundai elentra's 1.6 engine. upgraded with CVVT version. even the platform is same with elentra. KIA and Hyundai shares alot of things. QUOTE(leongwk15 @ Sep 10 2009, 02:37 PM) From the KIA Cerato Spore forum, Yeah..Gamma I if I'm not mistakenIt seems that the Spectra 5 is using Gamma 1 engine and Cerato is using Gamma 2 engine, which is newer. Is this true? |
