Got my Kia Cerato 2.0 last week from Mr Loh KS a.k.a BUYDIRECT. Overall the sales process was smooth one although minor issue pop up but it got resolved before collecting the car. In terms of offer, he is giving a good one not best. Alot of people said best offer but I disagreed. It depends on what you are looking for: values or freebies. If freebies, yes is a good offer if you don't want any headache to look for it later.
Like everyone said he patiently explains the features in the car especially the HU unit and the steering wheels functionality. It was very informative at brief but in details you might need find out others own your own later.
So far have found 2 issues with sound after 2-3 days of driving:,
1 is the HU unit near emergency signal button have some buzz sound during even and uneven road. When press area with finger the buzz is gone but when release is back.
2. Sunroof also have some vibration sound too. Manage to find out where it is, when press the roof the sound not there but when release sound is there.

Anyone have this issue? Appreciate can shared which SC is best to go to get it fixed.

Other than that, I'm loving the K3 from each time driving it.

Bro, mine is at this area between the emergency signal button and the digital clock unit. During every morning start engine, the vibration will slowly reach here and buzz sound like a loose spring. Also cruising low speed or uneven/rough surface will have it. When press the top flat surface the sound disappeared. Sent my car for 1k service at PJ Red Cube and they don't advice to open the dashboard. What they did is hand solution! Tumbuk tumbuk at top of dashboard surface and the noise disappear for some times. Hope no other sound appear after this solution. The buzz sound still can hear at a less noticeable noise though, lately didn't hear much of the buzz sound. Will monitor it.



For the sunroof noise, is loosen clip, they took it out and reclip back. Issue solved here.


Once at 1 traffic light cornering felt the car swirl abit to left maybe due to sudden corner at 60-80km. Didn't see ESC symbol light up. So far didn't feel under power during pick up. But during jam the car felt abit moving forward might be due to the heavy body.

Do update here if you manage to get it fixed by opening the HU.

Yes! I also shocked but now sound less noticeable. Didn't hear it during start up nowadays. Yup mine is 2.0, so far feel the car is great.

Where you did your coating earlier? Yeah anyone here did coating and polish please share experience.

Thanks for the advice bro! Really appreciate!
My car done ecoat, so far 1 month+, washing on own. Is pretty easy to wash when you have coating. Only thing taking me longer time is the body kit side near tyre, got splashed with some liquid during heavy rain I suspect. It mixed with the grease on the road I think and when it dried its very hard to wash away using the car wash shampoo. In the end use the car polish and easily got clean.

Guys, anyone have experience tight shifting of AT from P to R? I noticed mine is very tight when shifting from P to R when my car is parked slightly decline/incline. Is this normal?
