i just collected my gorgeous Cerato 1.6 in Golden Beat last Friday.. gazillion thanks to my super friendly, super helpful & super duper efficient SA.. Mr. Edwin a.k.a Motorman.. he's the best SA i have ever met.. and the special promotion he offers is soooo irresistible..
he helped me a lot and have been very patience with me when i can't made up my mind how much loan amount i want to apply.. when i request him to re-appeal the already approved loan (which in record speed within 4 hours).. when i can't choose which colour i want.. and when i asked him a lots of questions.. i know i'm such a pain in the arse.. i'm sorry..  

and now.. i'm lovin' every inch of my car.. glad i took the Huper Optik tint and G'Zox Crystal Coating promotion package as well..  it's worth every ringgit i've spend.. i had Locktech Magnetic Brake Pedal Twin Lock installed right after i took my car.. for safety.. scared if it's get stolen..
then later after that i went for a ride around kl.. i feel the suspension a bit soft to my liking and when driving on uneven road, the car vibration doesn't feels right to me.. so i'm off to smmotorsport workshop and had them installed the Stiff Ring and RBACH Spring Buffer to my car.. omg.. huuugggeee improvement..
now i just have to wait for Ultra Racing to develop K3 bars.. *sigh* hope they'll do it soon..

oh ya.. i'm still in the midst of reading the thick Owner's Manual.. totally blown away with some of the features in this car.. i'm so glad i choose this car rather than Ho*da or To**ta.. i don't give a rat when people say Korean car don't have high RV compare to those Japs car.. i fell in love with this car from the first time i saw it during my drive home from work 3 weeks ago.. and now i'm a proud K3 owner.. 

what is the interest rate for 1.6  9 years loan and 7 years loan.

I think many are really looking at wanting a PERFECT car...too picky, no offence intended    I think if one looks at ALL the cars in the market today, there is no PERFECT car, there is always some "mini tiny itsy bitsy weenie" issues concerning a car, haha.  I can name so many cases of ppl i know with all types of cars fr the sub RM50K++ to RM million that has some issues "bugging" them....there are always issues & most are really totally insignificant & negligible issues.  Of course there are cars really have on-going significant issues...gearbox for instance....but one really need to do more "paper" research - the specs, the safety features (very very important), etc etc etc...look at the bigger picture & MUST MUST go test drive itself & weigh the pros & cons themselves....as each indv has different preference.  If one decided not to get a reasonable good car, no matter what car is it, just becos the radio reception not so good & some rattling sound which can b easily fixed, then its would be so pity isn't it.  I just saying we are need to be wise enough to look at the bigger picture (haha, i say it again)....a car is not merely such tiny issues, the RV or what not....Its more than that.  The world is changing , there are so many quality cars for us all to choose from, enjoy the choices & take advantage of it ....go TEST DRIVE them.

the one when u enter the car the electric seat auto move backwards..hehe

hi, anyone have problem wif easy access function? mine is not functioning like b4..

Hi, this is the supervision cluster for 2.0 model, it is a full colour TFT LCD display. Looks nice and the resolution is better.

while this is the dot matrix display for 1.6, is a single colour display. It serve well for all the basic functionality.

But if compare the specs k3 wins...what factor that make u go for k3 over focus...i like focus most but i still not able to take the risk on it powershift.

If you want promotion, buydirect aka mr edwin loh has the best one honestly. i got mine from a friend in the end. not as good

@bengang13

Million thanks to Mr. Edwin Loh a.k.a. Motorman for delivering Kia Cerato 1.6 (Golden Beat) to my girlfriend in less than a week after signed the loan agreement. Glad that I took his advice on tinting and coating because the car looks so awesome.

It was a pleasure experience buying car from him and his car offer is the best. He is superb friendly and nice person so I would like to recommend anyone who is looking to buy any Kia car in Klang valley should check with him first on car offer.

Thanks again and enjoy your vacation.

   

My experience so far has been generally positive. Especially the one at Motorman's place. The guys do a pretty good job and fast. And the service manager is also quite an insightful person.

The FB groups also seems to indicate generally positive experience with quite a few service centers.

Most welcomed Edwin Although I'm still hoping your service center will give options and stock true Group 4 synthetic oils rather than Group 3 that your workshop currently uses.

Group 3 is sometimes classified as "Fully synthetic", but not from a technical perspective:

I'm certainly hoping your service center can stock true PAO or Ester based oils. They do cost more, but with our really hot weather now I'm sure some would be willing to pay that premium for the better protection and performance offered by PAO or Ester based oils. I've had very good experience with Ester based oils like Chemlube and really good mileage out of it, when I was using the ultra low viscosity variant.

Hopefully you can give this option someday

Just took delivery of my new Cerato 1.6
Thanks Edwin for a pleasant experience in getting this car,
Highly recommend him to potential Cerato owners!

Thank you Motorman. Can you advise us on how to update the map for this GPS? Is the service centre able to update the map for us for Free? Thanks

any idea what is the price for old owners to upgrade from 4.2' to 8' HU? also i thought SKD units comes with 4.2' HU, so it means that there are still SKD units left? or the SKD and CKD thing is just a gimmick?

Guys, do u really satisfy with your Cerato? I'm in dilemma whether to buy new city or cerato. Advice please.

i also would like to know. And motorman, does the 8" HU on the cerato supports screen mirroring like the new honda city?

Me too,still in dilemma between these 2 cars,how about you create a poll and ask for others comment?
