Hi, any1 can share more information about 1.6 and 2.0 fuel consumption ?
Test drive 2.0 yesterday. Spec 1.6 and 2.0 not much different.
Just not sure 1.6 will be under power and cost more fuel or not.

This is what I heard also. All wait so long to get the car.
1.6 immediately can process. Just only 2.0 dont know need to wait for how long.

Sometime abit tired for keep on waiting. And need to trade in the car for it.
Worry that time the price for trade in car also drop alot.

Most of your questions had been answered beautifully by brendanc. There are only a few things I like to add.

1) The Cerato 1.6 with 130hp is never under power. Test drive one and feel it for yourself. 

2) A life span of a car will depend greatly on how well a person maintain the car. That is the reason the 5 years warranty is given with condition that the car must be maintain according to schedule and only by Kia Service Center.  At Kia every parts change, service, complaint and the car health will be recorded in the system. If a car is service by unauthorized workshop Kia have no way of knowing how well the car is maintain, what had been change and so on...

3) Genuine parts will always be slightly more expensive then imitation parts but it have better quality and durability. In term of price Kia genuine parts are comparable if not cheaper than the T or H brand but certainly cheaper then any continental brands.     

4) It is certainly not complicated. A lot of those features are automatic.  Example: ABS, EBD, TCS, ESC, BS, 6 airbags, reverse camera, front sensor and many other features which are there to assist your driving and also for safety reasons. They are designed to be there with good reasons,purpose, usefulness and certainly not there to be "complicate". 

5) brendanc is right about the solar glass. Not found in many other makes the solar glass in the Cerato is a UV cut glass. Many people still tint the car for a few reasons. To increase the heat rejection percentage, anti break properties & the darkness to reduce glare.

If you like to test drive the Cerato 1.6 you are welcome to contact me. I have a test drive unit readily available and I'll be happy to take trough the car in detail.

ya i know it burns petrol... but the FC estimation should include this in the estimation wert... just take whatever distance traveled versus the fuel brunt, should output the FC reading... anyway, was just wondering what formula they use to derive the FC on the dashboard... one of the episode of mythbuster also shows that electronic reading is not accurate...

anyway... i just did 1500km in 1 weekend... FC wise very good i would say... mostly highway drive plus some penang city jam for 2 days... gave me about avg 14.6km/l... highway driving btwn 110-140km/h... very good i would say...

but during this 1500km journey, one thing that irritates me was the rattling sound from my steering/dashboard... otherwise it would be an awesome journey... also i notice the wind noise grow exponentially after 120km/h...

should i get the rattling sound fixed?  icon_question.gif
during my first 1000km the mechanic also noticed ask me to go back and check... but i scared that they open up to check causes even more noise in the end... also, i read somewhere the prev Forte has dashboard rattling noise as well... was it able to fix? or did it backfire?

i really hope the rattling noise would be fixed then it'll be a great car... cause even new persona doesnt have such rattling noise  sad.gif

Seem like 1.6 more fuel efficiency.
But 2.0 more powerful and more feature.

Naza look like want to clear out their 1.6 stock.

I wish to correct myself on my own quote. I checked with a few SA mentioning there is no changes on the internal trim. So the leather finishing might stay. To think again, there is no reason KIA want to remove the leather finishing and sell the same price and killing their future business. Kinda stupid to do that too. Sorry my misquote.  tongue.gif  tongue.gif  tongue.gif

Anyway I changed my mind and plan to get a 2014 car. Will pay the booking fee this or next week and plan to get it by mid Jan 2014.

Want to check something if anyone changed their HUD to the 2.0 type with GPS & DVD player? How much will it cost?
*
Mid Jan 2014 mostly still will be year 2013 car.
I think for year 2014 need to wait till march ler.

Fuel Consumption very depend on your driving skill and road condition.
And for under power issue.. If you read though the feedback of owner from the forum, you will found that 1.6 fc is better than 2.0.
But of cause you wont have the zoom zoom feeling lar for 1.6.
