I got 2.38% from Affin Bank for a 6 yrs HP. Initially was 2.45% but SA helped to nego lower.

Just wondering any new Cerato owner managed to ask for freebies from the SA ? Eg. tinted windscreen & windows (V-Kool maybe, hehe), better quality number plate, full tank petrol.

But the SA from my place told me its CBU...hmmmm.

Am from Kuching by the way. I also saw the cars when the 1st batch of cars arrived at Naza Kuching and other dealers last week and all has "Euro Spec" chalk written on the windscreen. And all the stickers are in koreans and the car battery also original korean battery. The SA told me all are CBU. The shipment is Korea-KL-Sabah-Sarawak...thats why here we always last one to get it.

Many thanks for the clarifications.

I'm 1 soon-to-be-owner here. Scheduled to ride in my 1.6 Golden Beat next Tues after made my booking few days after the launch.

I have used my 1.6 for 4 mths already & i dont encounter any water dripping issue & also excessive noise with the car. Satisfied with it & even more satisfying is that everyone who has sat & "test drive' my car all loving it. They never expect a korean car can feel so good. Of course there is no such thing as a perfect car but this is the best car for such price point.

Sorry, cannot help u on this Accept it & i pity u. Cant convince Vios-die hard persons. I had a friend just recently bought the new vios. His reasons of buying - "value good wo". He has no knowledge of specs & safety yet he even went on to say the safety sure best bcos its a Toyota, sure body solid (as advised by the SA). he bought it without test drive of course. So many of such ppl around thats why UMW is laughing all the way to the bank making huge profits offering skeleton-specs & minimal-safety cars to all these ppl. Oh ya, change wife kidding la.

That's why UMW so friggin happy. Ignorant customers,sad to say, support them blindly. Even they put a 20 yr old engine to Vios it will become top seller. Doesn't matter, it's their loss. More knowledgeable customers wil enjoy the best cars.

About 85% city (with lots of traffic light & junctions stops) & 15% highway at 9.0L / 100km.

I calculated mine for few mths since Aug...quite close. Again, all depends on the traffic at each place.

Glad to hear that !! Wise choice. Proved that really need to have to feel the real thing & compare then will realise & make correct choice.

Some can be trusted & some overzeolous ones who only think of making sales & commissions will make empty promises which jeopardise the reputation of the authorised dealers & to the extend to KIA itself. I think it applies for other makes of cars too. Shud tell customers the truth on all aspects. This is the basic of any bness ethics.

Yup, saw the video. Its no doubt the most VFM and best overall car at that segment. & every car everywhere is imitating good points of others in some ways to fit into theirs. Its 1 of the ways to go of any successful products.

Anyone has experience with your K3 installed with "Potent Booster"? Can share the effect & whether worth to install it.

+1

yup. u are rite. My friend driving VW Golf GTI also complained same thing about rattling sound.

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.

Yes, i agree with you if the issues cannot be fixed as I wouldn't want such things to bother me for whole of my car life...but then these 2 issues can be easily fixed by SC ...& i heard the rattling sounds only affecting minimal numbers of Cerato & radio reception is 1st i heard about. I hav my Cerato 1.6 for 8 mths already & there is not a single problem to it & also my group of about 7 friends all having same cars (our own Cerato grp, hehe) all having not a single issue til now. We are small numbers yes, but just saying that these issues are not a common ones affecting all. I have another new car, the VW Passat, got issues too (not gearbox la...phewwww , haha) but all small ones & kautim fixed already haha.

I wish u luck in getting your car

Great effect !! You bought this "Mirror Glaze Synthetic Sealant 2.0" online or from local retail ?
