I quote this power-to-weight ratio from internet . although p-to-w ratio can't represent all but it can be one of the method to measure car's power.
I don't think Cerato is underpower. power=95.3 KW , Weight=1300 Kg , power-to-weight ratio= 73.3 W/Kg.
But sure acceleration not as good as 2.0 car

Congrats..It will bring you lot of money

How much??

just want to know from those who already owned cerato, how is it from the first day until today?..Im planning to trade in my current car to cerato

hi guys, I just went to glenmarie kia showroom to test drive, but the sales person asked for the booking fee/deposit RM200 and can get refund if not interested within 1 week. I have paid the fee btw, but still considering.

Just wonder is this their current SOP now? must pay b4 test drive??

No, that's not the way. They should allow you to test drive, if you ask for it, regardless if you decide to buy it or not and they should not take booking fee for test drive. You are most welcome to come to my KIA showroom for a 2nd round test drive. Furthermore, there are many other showrooms of other makes within walking distance at my area that you can do ONE-STOP shopping. Feel free to PM me for more information.

Cheers,

How about sound system in cerato? is it good ?

Sound system is good. The Cerato audio system enables you to take your media with you. It has iPod® and MP3 compatibility, a USB port and a CD player for complete audio entertainment. You'll enjoy output with clarity through the high quality 6-speaker audio setup.

usually , pay booking fee meaning that confirm the deal . test drive is free , no need to pay anything
just wonder that is they give you any black & white saying that if not interested then the booking can be refund ?



FYI , nazakia have official test drive centre at bangsar and it just 10minute drive from mid valley , you can go there to have a test drive without paying any money

Insist on a refund. The law is on your side.

nice car you guys have..

I already called to get refund, the guy say will prepare the refund by next week... I said i am coming this saturday and he asked me to call b4 going....

just give them a call before you go , it should be ok if they are promise you to refund .

Hi,

I m interested on K3. Kindly PM the best deal. Thanks

there's thread on this forum about cerato vs civic vs focus. Looks like many forumers voted focus. Is it true focus is much more superior and cerato really unmatch by focus quality? both cars price about the same.
