PS and HP is the same.
Torque, however is different. On the example above, Jetta CKD is using turbo engine, which gives higher hp and torque at a wider rpm range.

You should also take note about the rpm range on the advertised horsepower and torque.

CVT gives better mileage if the driving style is correct. Most ppl get so-so mileage on CVT because they're not used to the lag during initial acceleration, therefore pressing the pedal too hard. City shouldn't have a problem reaching 15km/L.

Cerato on the other hand, is a heavier car and 6AT. It might get better fuel econ compared to Vios' 4AT, but surely less fuel econ compared to city.

All manufacturer's car have problem to some degree. But I think a lot of reviews commended on the build quality of the Cerato already.

There's a service schedule for Cerato 1.6 posted a few pages back. I believe it's higher due to the fully synthetic requirement for 10000km service interval if you wanna keep the 5 yrs warranty, or 5000km service interval for semi-synthetic. It's around RM 3,000 for 3 years for 1.6SX version, not sure about the 2.0SX version though.

On the other hand, Honda City and Vios is already 10000km service interval but does not enforce the use of fully synthetic oil to keep the warranty. Therefore the service charges is lower. Oh well, it really depends on what you're comparing against.

If you compare to City/Vios, then Cerato maintenance is more expensive. If you compare to Merc/Audi, then it would be cheaper.

Fuel consumption is about 11-13km/L based on information on Fuelly.

I think the Auto mode monitors the oxygen and humidity level in the car and lets outside air in if it senses the oxygen level too low.

Recirculation isn't always good after driving a long period of time as it will recirculate the "used" air in the car, causing CO2 level to rise in the car. This will cause fatigue due to oxygen deficiency.

Is it? @Motorman can clarify on this?

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?

RM12k is for Sorento.

Wow K3 so safe?

Edit: Both of them survives lol

According to news report, it's a KIA. The rim, dashboard and side profile looks like K3.

There's a service schedule for 1.6 in this thread. You can use the search function to look for it.

There's also a post in this thread that tells you how to change. Search for "papago".

Yea. Try it and let us know the result

Just got my Cerato from KS Loh today. Just in time for National Day. Definitely a recommended SA if you're around Klang Valley

Currently my fuel consumption is 310km per half tank (25L). Pretty acceptable I would say considering I've been travelling 50% city 50% highway.

Anyone facing weak radio signal issue? Normally I travel along kesas so the signal shouldn't be a problem.

I think so too. Unless there's some connection you have to make to the radio antenna, I doubt that it'll work.

Pls. keep us posted on this.

Naza Auto not open on weekends? What time it opens until?

My SA (Edwin) mentioned that it might be tinting issue. I'm using Raytech CS85. It blocks the signal?

I don't feel my car shaking. You should ask a few people to test if they're feeling the shaking too. If yes, then there's some problem.

I saw some mod in Elantra thread on the radio signal. The mod was to use the AM antenna for the FM too to enhance the signal. (No more AM)

Check your PM

Cannot la bro..must listen to radio see got what new music ma hehe. If only there's Spotify hehe.
