any info on the service interval and costs?

I think by end of this week or next week, most of ppl who booked early will get their cerato.. But may i know after getting car what next step??

1- get tinted? what brand is good for car? vkool, raytech, etc
2- coating? it is really required? what benefit & what different between wax & coating?

I will do Balancing & alignment first..

Are the stock tires good? I think it's Nexen CP643A. If the stock tires are not that good, then 1st thing should be changing tires (safety is the highest priority) which should be together with balancing and alignment

What's the nominal interest rate we can get for 7 Years & 9 Years?

Service interval should be every 10k km provided that u use the fully syn engine oil

Regarding service cost, for Cerato 1.6, i believe it should be more or less the same with the Forte 1.6 becoz the Cerato use the same but upgraded Gamma Engine (on Forte 1.6). Please go to Forte thread (first post), i did tabulate the service cost comparison in that thread.

For Cerato 2.0, the service cost should be at the same range as the Optima K5 because both cars use the same Nu engine if i'm not mistaken. For the exact cost, i dont have it unless for Forte 2.0 (Theta engine) in which u can find it at Forte thread also

That good. I think someone can share experience or checklist after get new car what need to do.

Maybe bro @izputra can share his experience since he one of member get first batch forte.

Kindly go to Forte thread. On the first post got some common but useful information (checklist, FAQ, SC list..etc).

From my experience with NazaKia SC, u can ask them to do tire alignment & balancing for free for the first 2k km

Thanks..Any promotion price ? The car is nice when i saw it last weekend at one utama road show

klang has no test drive unit and no promotion. sad. they said first 500 units is CBU... i wonder how true. By now should have at least 700bookings already?

Hi Bro @izputra, thank you for fast feedback. very helpful for new owner . So between 2k KM people who buy cerato can do tire alignment & balancing for FREE is it? how to confirm this thing?

If u read Forte thread from the beginning, u will notice that the testimonial is everywhere..proven Just complaint about your car misalignment & request the SC to do wheel alignment + balancing. Make sure they put your complaint on the job sheet during servicing or else the technician wont do it. Actually SC Manager (Selayang SC) did confirm about this (free wheel alignment & balancing for the first 2k km) when we (myForteClub) organised TT there. I believe this should applies to all NazaKia new cars

The test drive units will be rolled out soon. Naza is preparing those test drive units with proper attractive STICKERS on the cars first before loading out to the respective outlets. All these test drive units will be in CLEAR WHITE color only.

will there be 2.0 for the test drive?

kia cerato 1.6 owner soon =)

Well, most outlets can only afford to own one unit for test drive, and that's going to be 1.6L variant for obvious reason.

2.40% +- 0.05% subject to loan amount

got test drive also at 1u but very long Q

Add me in Kia Cerato 1.6 owner (GoldenBeat)

cerato 2.0 maintenance schedule and cost...
