Cerato 2.0 is available in malaysia also with ON the road price : RM118,888
THe CKD unit will be available on early of 2014 , we hope that is possible to get before CNY like cerato 1.6

meaning 2.0 is ckd already?no more cbu?m i right?

2013 also not CBU right ? or maybe first 500 car only CBU.
I heard 2013 is macam SKD something like that

yes bro , can say like that

I'm going to buy a new car. .my 1st car. Cerato is my first choice and going to booking within this month.
I'm quite worry about the engine performance and fuel consumption of Kia. Few of my friends and uncle complaint on the engine noise and under power, mostly on sportage and sorento.
Can I get some real experiences from the car owner regarding Cerato? Much appreciate

Nice!
The right icon "Apps", what is that for? The HU got built in apps, or can add more apps?

the best way to know whether underpower r not is go test drive.

Agree with Jackson828. Other then review or listening to comments there is nothing better then to test drive one for yourself.

Many thanks for your kind gesture & feedback. Hope you will enjoy this car for many more years to come.

just go to any dealers for test drive la...experience it urself and not just listen to his friends her aunties, friend's friend.... if want to know more about fuel economy....just watch the recent review by paultan and the gang la... cerato 2.0 Vs Civic FB2.0 and ford titanium + 2.0 in malaysia with malaysia typical road traffic condition...cerato 2.0 can achieve 15.9KM/l which is way better than civic in eco mode and ford titanium with GDI engine..

Fuel Consumption very depend on your driving skill and road condition.
And for under power issue.. If you read though the feedback of owner from the forum, you will found that 1.6 fc is better than 2.0.
But of cause you wont have the zoom zoom feeling lar for 1.6.

Congrats bro and enjoy your new ride

Finally get my car from Motorman aka Edwin. Thanks for being patient with me as I keep rushing for the car collection. Thanks alot

to all new owners....be careful of nexen tyres...its for your own good

Hi guys, got 2 loans approved for my 1.6 now. Still pondering should I get 2013 car with the current offers or wait 2014 car which SA say earliest is after CNY. So should I be feeding my ego to get the 2013 car or better so called RV (which I dun care much) and wait till after CNY.

In addition I got 2 version of the SKD/CKD stories here,

1. 2013 car still SKD 2014 car fully CKD. If 2013 SKD cars, ex-stock shall be from Naza stockyard at Rawang. 2014 CKD cars shall be by trailer from Gurun, Kedah. If from Port Klang are those fully CBU, dunno here got or not.
2. Does not matter 2013 or 2014 car still SKD becoz controlled by Kia (Korea). Naza just an assembler.

Kindly share your views.

Guys,

Just want some opinions. Clear White better or Glittering metal?

I just book 1.6 at my area, waiting for car loan approval.
Test drive it. Surprising, 1.6 is not underpower at all.

IMO, depends whether you will sell the car soon or use very long... think the first 3 years car value depreciate the most... so if you want to sell in <3 years then take 2014 car... 1 year out of 3 years is a lot... but if sell after >7 years then become relatively lesser...

if i were you i will just take now... instant saving for about 3k for free service... to me buying car think bout RV sure depress one... like all electronic gadgets, you cant keep up with the price...

im driving a clear white 1.6 now... hehe... color preference very subjective depending on individual... but if taking white be prepared la to wash car every week... water marks very visible just after rain... especially these rainy season so tiring... but i love white and white somehow seems bigger...

and ya... 1.6 dont feel under-powered for me also... but those who use to drive hot hatch or >2.0 liters car sure say under powered...

glittering metal is it sth like grayish color? Cos at the showroom, there no this color.

Actually underpowered abit if compare to altis 1.8 (both same segment). I got drive my dad's altis. Altis feel more power

For Clear White, it's best to go for some body coating treatment, so that you do not get the black stain after a downpour. It's much easier on maintenance after doing the coating.
