This is NAZA's attempt to compete in the sub 90K market, dominated by many B segment Japanese models, thus giving much value for money to those seeking for a bigger C segment car, but do not mind missing out on some luxurious features. It is somewhat close to what KIA FORTE used to offer to the Malaysian market, but the Cerato is of course a much improved design in overall styling.

thought gonna get cerato 2.0 is there any problem with korean car and how bout the fuel consumption.....is korea car maintanence very expensive?new advice from u guys tq      

Mine 2.0  8.8/1000. City drive. Rm98 for around 510-530km
Donno if it weather. Coz it happens first day I took my car and also during night time. Really annoying. Like mosquito to my ear

That's not 7.3L/100.... that's 6.93km/L, which imo is pretty bad. 7.3L/100km is ok, but 7km/L is a bit too low.
That's only 9km/L. which is also pretty bad.

I thought Ceratos should be in the range of 11-13km/L?

I think it was pretty bad.....but I drive mostly in subang puchong and sunway....full with traffic light....so I really not sure was it normal?

you sure your RM100=330km-360km? seriously yau mo?

in anycase i think it not accurate to follow the speedometer where it says 8.8L/100km. thats the average. usually i would start pumping around 510km which would come up to RM96-98 ringgit

can someone list down what other issues this car has? So far i've got this 3 :

1) horrible mileage
2) random noises in the cabin
3) pathetic resale value.

i really like the design of the car, but still looking at the pros and cons.

thanks.

Yeah the estimate on the display is pretty crappy. Anything below 50km left it will not show. Anyway seems like your mileage is quite bad even for city drive. My wife drive from Shah Alam to kuchai lama daily. Maybe not as jam as yours. The mivy I am driving can go 350km for 35liter so I am actually quite ok with my cerato given that it's a 2.0. Sorry can't help you man. I am not a car guy

I think you better get your car check. When I stuck in traffic the 8.8l/100 will not change. At least for mine  btw I have clocked 7000km

Took my car last week and found out there is a paint defect and also stain from unknown thing at engine bonnet, car roof and passenger side both door. Then the SA say it can be remove by polish and ask me to go for polish then claim back from him.

i paid rm238 for 3 layer polish in car's international and found out it can't be remove and according to the car's international guy the paint already blend with the car paint and the stain on the roof maybe from aircond water or bird shit and it's already corroded the paint. Those stain are more than 1 week old meaning it might already there when the car is in their store.

I've call the SA and he say will discuss with his boss how to settle this problem but until now still no news.

so any KIA dealer here can advise me what can i do??? shall i report this to KIA HQ? And i totally unsatisfied with the car condition and is it possible for me to demand for a new car unit??? From the SA he keep on saying i can't dp that.

Advice please??? thanks

Now i'm starting to think you use Google translate right? 

I read somewhere that the suspension is on softer side.
If 4 people might hit bottom on uneven road. Is it true?

Well i went to KIA HQ directly since the authorized dealer that i bought my car from doesn't help and keep on delaying my case. Sweet talk before you buy the car and once you bought the car, the service is horrible. 1st time in my life having so much problem with buying new car. From the not working GPS system to paint defect.
I don't mine if they can provide me a transport to use while my car send for repaint. But when i ask what am i gonna use for my transport to the SA, he can't answer me nor provide me with solution.

Guess it was bound to occur again some day. My gearbox problem happen again. Put into D and the gear would not engage. Raised it to KIA Korean engineer also when I saw him but he flatly refused to even look into it.

Cruise control also went crazy after that. Set to 110 and the car just went up all the way to 140 on 4th or 5th gear.

Just got my K3 about 2 days ago, golden beat
Loving it so far, and getting to know it better

The only qualm i have is that there's a slight rattling sound on the dashboard, somewhere near the clock. Anyone have this problem too?

depend on ur right foot la brader.
