i just test drive last weekend 1.6l at bkt tinggi, klang.

no long queue need, just come and test..

no promotion currently...new car

and they said its CBU 400 units...dont know true or not..

how is the car after you has test drive?

well, it fitted with what i amazed is
1)motor steering where u can choose which type u prefer (light, normal, heavy-sport)...light one really too light... not used to it but good for parking.

2) memory seat and the control really nice. enjoy playing with it (sorry im kinda outdated). will auto adjust behind to ease ur exit when u open ur door.

3)welcome light

4) cooler compartment for u to keep drink

5) engine part, i cant tell coz only manage to drive to 70-80 near my area only. but quiet inside.

downside is
1) no gps.
2) media screen too small, not like latest forte.
3) steering full of buttons where i need to take times to study.

alot complain about the dashboard and i think its kinda old design too..sad.

Done!

thanks!!

Why no test drive? Look for Sam. He quite friendly and no pushy..

thanks for sharing

yesterday i went to naza kg baru to have a look at cerato.

available cars in the showroom were cerato 2.0, sorento, forte, pug 3008 & 508.

no test-drive (i wouldn't want a TD during lunch hour, kg baru, remember?)

imo, cerato +pts:
1. nice fittings
-small gap, plastic "banana leaf"
2. nice gadgets
-plenty of lamp/light inside
3. nice headlight & tailight.
4. ingress & egress was good.
-hahaha..my head banged the a-pillar of 3008 while getting on it.

-pts:
1. poor enclosure of the steering wheel adjustment lever.
-i can see how the metal working inside. i love to see how the linkages works, but i dont like dust to settle therein.
2. small HUD.
-i thought preve's is smaller, but cerato's isn't big either..
3. smaller back seat?
-i believe forte's is better.
4. seat at lowest position not so "racy"
-well, this is just my preference, i believe chevy orlando & aveo have better highest & lowest seat position.
5. that kind of dashboard looks outdated.
-driver oriented? meh..look at pug3008, that is driver oriented.
6. ah..it is more quiet in 3008 rather than in cerato.
7. near the rear screen, the c-pillar inside panel wasn't properly fitted

cukup la tu..

weh, yg lampu kt outside door handle tu, mmg utk pintu depan je ke? dlm iklan ada 4. smlm perasan 2 jek depan, blkg xde welcome light tu?

Reserved for the facelifted Cerato later on i believe..same happens to Forte

That's why I think wait for facelift but problem is like forte how long the only upgrade the stuff? I think 2years!

On the media screen, it is 4.3 inch TOUCH SCREEN TFT-LCD display. If you remember the first batch of Forte that came, it was also a small screen, but without touch screen and without color. Yes, it lacks a GPS & DVD player, on the positive side, it leaves some room for some after-market upgrades to keep the economy going .....

The other display is the 4.2 Inch TFT LCD cluster for the driver. For the 2.0, it comes in color, for 1.6 it is dot matrix. You will find much useful information about the car here.

better no gps.. keep the price lower:P

GPS is for facelift selling point

can the 2.0 supervision cluster swap to 1.6 one?
wondering is it direct plug and use..

almost settled out for this car but then found out that got new stock of kia koup.
so, settling for koup now..

Kia Koup is . If i'm still in my 20's, definitely i will buy Koup than the Forte

GPS now cheap only maa.. Anyway, i'm willing to pay the extra cost for the GPS coz i often make use of it due to frequent outstation job.
