no funny sound or uncomfy vibration detected..sound in the cabin while cruising is in comfy & satisfying level..never try to go speeding yet..still in break-in mode..

it drips from near leg aircond vents to the floor..and i think some of it soak below the floor covering..is it bad?

hmm... normally the floor covering is waterproof... so it wont kena below. my kelisa lasttime it drip alot between the gap. damn smelly coz water smell. if below the floor mat still ok la...as long not below the carpet/covering.

1st time owning a new car here... how long should the break-in last? and mind sharing how u break-in ur car?

For any new car, you should observe the break-in period for the first 1000 Km. There are a few things you should not do during the break-in period

1) Do not overspeed. That means to say, go slow and steady and don't drive excessively fast. Perhaps below 90 km/hr is good

2) No sudden acceleration and/or sudden braking. Basically, do not let your rpm go up too high.

Although most new engines are now built tougher and more robust compared to the older generation ones, it is better to observe this simple tradition when driving a brand new car. KIA does not specifically advice on this matter in the owner's manual either.

ic ic... thanks for the advice... but i also heard that one should floor the pedal to break-in a new car... totally opposite... that's why i am confused...

maybe they mean to floor it once a while.. not constant...

Some info from the web for you
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_should_you_%...in%27_a_new_car

one thing that is consistent in all the info i hv read so far, is no cruising on highway at a constant speed (sigh... was planning to drive to KL with the car.)

here's another piece bout this topic
http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/how-t...ak-in-a-new-car

this piece
http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm
however claim that we should floored the pedal... of course not at a constant speed and gear. he suggested to accelerate n decelerate, for each 2nd gear till 4th gear.

i think the main question here is, is the engine a newly assembled engine? i think if it is a newly assembled engine, maybe the flooring method is correct? while for new car, like some articles mention, the engine hv been broken-in by the manufacturer b4 being put into the car, and thus babying it is the correct way to break it in?

this is my theory... any opinions?

Same like what my sa told me... The car must already been tested kaw2 by the manufacturer....

oic..i suppose it is waterproof hence the water logging issue..the SC claim they have suck all the water out but unfortunately im not there to see the whole repair process..

this is also my first car..there are plenty of theories about it and not sure if there is a sure way to do it..refer Buydirect post below..

i think i've read kia break-in advice somewhere in the service book/manual..

if only i get to test drive for 1 week! and if the FC is good i will buy

Yes you cn test drive the car for 3 days to one week, but not Kia, its Infinity

how much fc is consider good ?

anyone knows how we can enable RDS manually? since it doesnt come enabled.

Most welcome to test drive the Cerato 1.6SX at my showroom. Just PM me for details. Thanks

I think cerato has no rds

6l/100km or below is good i read the australia motoring, its 5.5 for highway and 6.8 for mix driving...in actual testing. so it is actually not bad. previous Gamma engine's FC was questioned in USA for untrue FC numbers.
I am drivng 120km a day on highway. so FC has to be good.
