Hi 3ants, am not sure actually...so far never been stopped by JPJ over it. I suppose as long it's not a HID conversion it should be ok...just my 2 cents though..

Hi perror, can I know if bulbs are JPJ compliant? Thanks.

So from reading this forum the common problems with the Cerato are:

1) May develop noises in the cabin from the dashboard, door panels or seats.
2) Ngek ngek sound from back on bumpy roads - can be solved by PJ Redcube SC
3) Some soft sound when turning the steering - Turn up the music and live with it.
4) Battery may die early - can claim if still within warranty, if not replace at own cost.
5) Gear changing may develop some odd behaviour when slowing down - affect some users but can be solved with ECU reset if it happens.
6) Suspension is on the soft side - not a problem for sedate drivers like me.
7) Weak radio reception - could this be due to tinting? Anybody solved and at which SC?
8) Seat moving - Is this a common problem? how can this be solved?

No. 1 is a bit worrying as it seems to be a very common problem and finding odd sounds can be tough.  If SC cannot find the source I'm prepared to spend some money for outside help to eliminate it. Just a matter of interest my 10 year old CBU Optima still give me a quiet cabin when driving. Very impressed with the quality.

Any other common problems which I haven't mentioned above?

Nice to conclude some of the issues rclxms.gif . So far my Kx don't have much noises, only on issue 3, yeah, still have some light noise turning steering but basically won't notice while driving, only when i park my car (there was times when i hear blizz blizz sound while driving but i found out it's the plactic cover that i did not remove from the seat, car vibrates and hence the plastic sound.)

Maybe one more thing tht i encounter is after i wash my wheels (i really give it a good spray, which basically wet all suspension and brake pad), when i drive it after washing, there's a large "clark,clark" sound on 1st brake press, it's like something was stuck or crushed. but after that, no more sound and brake works.

Another last bit is i suspect that the brake pad wearing is quite fast as when i first got my car, the handbrake goes 4 clicks and it's max, now after 3months it's 6 clicks to be max. Not surprise of after 2months i need 8 clicks on hand brake.

hi khan! thanks for the headsup. Really a tough choice... coz i really don't like the shape of the city on the outside...at all! interior only the high spec is okay for me...for kx even the most basic spec still looks nicer den the low spec city... gotta think really hard  yawn.gif

thanks for the info though~ biggrin.gif

Well, hope you make a good choice. For 1.6, you do city drive really kills fuel esp on jams and traffic light. Key to FC is step smooth and try to maintain speed, brake less and if possible stop less. This car is quite heavy till if u drive a 1.6, u don't get any pickup power on starting from a stop, instead, u have to wait for the speed to increase to gain momentum.

Kx Vs city high spec, tough choice, but think for more future and you will make a good choice without regrets. Anyway i been seeing lots a Kx around city lately. Even my trip to jonker steet, saw 2 Kx biggrin.gif

Hi, guys. I took my car (Kx) for a speed and stability test earlier this week. From KLIA back to USJ. The car have totally no issues in speeding up to 120 once it gains the momentum. 120 - 140km/h will need a bit of a pedal press but also basically no issues and car is still stable enough (But can start to hear the noise get louder and driver feels the speeding).

Now for speed over 140km/h, where i took it from 140 - 160km/h, the 20km/h took me more than 2km to achieve it. Where on the straight road, hard press on the pedal and the car accelerated very quite slowly, hardly to reach 160 as it hangs at 150 quite long, noices are loud and drive (me) starts to feel uneasy and personal pressure rises on the speed of 160km/h.

So i assume i go more than 160km/h will really need the nerves to handle the car over this speed as driver starts to feel the car sways, plus i think i'll need another 3km to take the car till 170. I am not sure this is the experience of the 1.6 Kx or it's different for 1.6 K3. (Think Kx without ESC might makes a difference on the car feedback on 160km/h above hmm.gif )

I am just sharing to see anyone took the 1.6 engine for a hard test and what's the performance and feel feedback from drivers. Hope drivers with experience can share on this matter. Does K3 & Kx might will have diff performance? hmm.gif Drivers feedback needed icon_question.gif

Thanks bro, yes we decided on the KX already but there's no stock at the moment according to my SA, so we will be waiting for the car. I am still deciding between white or golden beat

I own k3 2.0

1) Dashboard sure make a bit noise, and last time my sunroof make a bit rattling sound, but already solved by KIA Setapak, at 140kmh unknown wind noise
2) Non for me
3) For me , the button on the steering make a rattling sound, but solved by KIA Setapak
4) So true my battery died at +-30,000km in less than 7 month (if mileage less than 20k or 1 year, you can claim even if you purchase the battery on your own - so I've been told by the KIA Setapak)
5) Non for me
6) So far so good (max highway 80-190kmh almost everyday but with caution of the traffic and car of course!!)
7) Weak even before tinting
8) No such thing happen to me, but the head rest of the passenger side make a bit noisy rattling sound

So far i am happy with the choice I've made buying Cerato.

1 question tho, is it normal for the fuel indicator to display -- when the fuel is quite low usual last display is like 60km more then become --

I was considering the same option. Finally went with Mazda 3 CKD low spec but this isn't the thread to discuss this. Ask in the Mazda 3 Car Club and I will answer you.

The reverse camera and Head unit are considered as accessories and fall under Naza Auto Solutions, which is the accessories department of Naza Kia. They are based in Jln 225 in PJ, beside the Federal Highway. You can give them a call at 03-7960 0400 to see if they can rectify the issue for you. Rgds.
