CBU is fully imported and you will see PUSPAKOM logo at your windows (R&R of all imported cars require to go through PUSPAKOM checking before on the road), while CKD is local assemble. The latest Cerato will have 3 minor changes which are:

1.) Multimedia Din -  from 4.3 inch to 7 inch (i think 8 inch need additional top up? Correct me if i'm wrong) equip with GPS.

2.) K3 logo at the back of the car (while you can always get this stick from any car accessories shops)

3.) Tyre changed to Continental
Most significantly, CBU signal indicator control is on driver's right side, while CKD will have it on the left side.

This all i can tell so far, anything wrong about it, please correct.

If your smart key is somewhat left inside the trunk, either by mistake or if it fell inside, when you close the trunk, the trunk will remain "unlocked". All you have to do, is to manually press the button on the trunk to open the lid.

In the Forte, the trunk lid used to bounce up when the key is inside, but for the Cerato, it doesn't bounce up, but only remain unlocked. Please try it out. Of course, don't do that with BOTH KEYS, as a precaution.....   

Just one thing is incorrect, the signal indicator DOES NOT differentiate the SKD (CBU) from the CKD stock. Only the first batch of cars, if I am not mistaken of around RM200 units had the signal indicators on the RIGHT. The subsequent SKD(CBU) units all came with signal indicators on the LEFT or commonly known as EURO spec.

Watch this latest interesting commercial from Kia.  Matrix version!

So what makes differences from Euro Specs and First Batch that the signal is on the Right.. Just to have the feel of Euro Specs rite? Nothing other special specs or others rite?

I also am curious, if you mentioned first 200, there is some people who gotten the car before me, the signal is on the left, i only collect my car 2 weeks later and my signal is on the right..

I am just merely asking, i am not saying you are correct or wrong.       

My England not very powderful

it doesn't matter to me, whether its left or right.. But i still cannot understand, how did KIA messed up. I got some who collected car before me, signal on the left, i collect car, signal on the right, the test card i drove i remember is right signal. I got some friends collect the car after me some left and some also right...

Any Cerato owner using a product called QMAX Voltage Stabilizer? My car salesman strongly recommend me this product and it says verr fuel saving plus more power on pickup for 1.6.

Anyone has it and willing to share the thought?

My wife loan approved already. Actually want to save up and take 2.0 if can, but time wont allow. Why so may advertisement at Mudah.com there
                putting big discount with weird package option. really mess up our loan application.

                I just want to ask what is the difference between authorised dealer and real KIA malaysia branch?
                Does Kia Malaysia branch offer better discount? And where the heck is Kia malaysia, there at PC federal highway ka?
                I bring my wife buy there at serdang kia. They explain to me that the mudah there with super huge discount really2 funny one.
                take out Kia original GPS and DVD and place with cheapo one. Instead of full bodykit give rear spoiler only. No free services 3 years also can.

                I satisfied already with Kia serdang so much dont bother to find other place. For a RM801.12 monthly 10 years installment cant complain much haha.
