Hi everyone,

Tested few cars and I start to narrow down to cerato 1.6 (my best preference so far).

But i need to check again.

a) If i drive 110km/h or 130km/h on highway (in case i forgot to see the meter which goes up to 130), I assume cerato 1.6 will do well right? The whole car won't shake?

b) Based on my test drive, the cabin noise quite quiet which I like. But when I press the oil a bit, I can hear the engine sound which is noticeable. Is this okay or 1.6 is underpowered?

I like the comfort though.

c) For Kia cerato 1.6, will the spareparts gonna be expensive? They said japanese cars more suppliers to get spare parts and korean cars only 2 places to get (original which has hyundai and kia logo which the supplier is Mobis or Mobis which doesn't have the hyundai and kia logo). The latter will be cheaper. Is this true? Takkan only 2 sources?

for spare parts, is korea cerato really really expensive?

e.g. the mechanic told me

if atos 1.1 gear box is rm3500, vios 1.5 also around the same price. But of course he said atos is old car which has problems. But newer cars less problems but the price is still higher. Any sifoo on kia cerato?

d) For kia cerato 1.6 5 years warranty and unlimited mileage thing.. what if I service my car outside to my mechanic, will that void the warranty? I need to be sure for this. I have a family mechanic which I used a lot. Prefer to service there. Unless first 2 - 3 times I don't mind at Kia service centre.

e) For the back seat airconds, can i control the temperature one? Or it is just standard? I know the front left and right air conds can control, but how about the back?

f) what is the full tank in RM for RON95 for Kia cerator 1.6? RM100?

and if full tank, how many KM can go? Again highway I drive 110, but normal roads i drive around 80 - 90.

g) If I buy the car in january 2014, I assume there's stock right. It seems 2.0 has to queue long. 2.0 cerato is out of my budget.

h) does kia cerato 1.6 come with any tinted windows? I see the car like a bit dark, but I forgot to ask the sales man. Any idea?

i) What is the best hire purchase interest rate for kia cerato for 7 years? anything better than 2.3 or 2.4? How come so high one?

Any help? Thanks.

Thanks

few more questions.

1) just curious even though vios or honda city is not within this segment and 1.5, but compare to cerato which one is more underpowered? my guess cerato as the body bigger?

2) i plan to drive for 5 - 7 years. for my current car, i already drive for 9 years and no plans to sell. But again who knows what will happen in future?

3) so basically the expensive parts i don't have to worry? all covered?

4) Looking at the elantra thread, the only issue about cerato is that it's complicated as too techy compare to elantra. Will this be an issue? I am worried my wife dunno how to drive my new car if I am not around. Have any of your wife or ladies drive this car, any issues?

Thanks in advance.

what's the best selling color for cerato 1.6?

is golden beat a popular color? coz white is really hard to maintain.

there's red color for 1.6?

what's g.metal?

i didn't know Glittering metal is best seller.

golden beat is not even in the list, so teruk?

if buy 2013 stock, but can register under 2014 car?

car valuation (assume if i want to sell?) is by manufacturing date? i thought it was based on year i register the car? hmm?

oh i didn't know that

there's 2014 kia cerato? facelift?

I just bought this car, really good car loved this so much

definitely better than vios, city

civic and altis (new one, which i saw the specs) not that worth it

however i have yet to hit 1000km, hope the service center okay
