May I know based on you guys preference, which car you guys might considered for the following for your next purchase? If possible, I would like to see the reason behind the justification of your choice. Thanks.

Would be helpful if you did a comparison of the 2 cars in your initial post

i would go for cerato for it's safety equipments

in term of exterior and interior, i more prefer kia forte but abit disappointed when saw kia cerato

Both car also come from the same company, just from different designer, really have nothing to compare, but the Cerato isn't a good looking car at all, especially the so called Tiger nose, I found it is a bit look like the pig nose though (just my own opinion, no offense)!

i prefer Cerato, although both also not my liking type~

TS now u stuck with same family, but different design..

I believe you pay for much expansive should be the right choice.

I read Jayraptor's compelling argument for KIA so I must support him. His post are full of indisputable facts, real life experiences, cohesive data comparison etc etc.... so I feel KIA is indeed the best car.

Cerato

tsk tsk tsk..... hear-say that car is good, so the fact is that car is good?


comments are nothing but reference, remember that. (sry to say....all crap talk)
fanboys always give tremendous positive feedback, haters always provide a totally opposing review.

spec on paper is purely theoretical/technical jargon to impress you. (mostly only good facts are presented)
whooping 600HP twinturbo on paper! sadly it never highlighting the fuel consumption or the maintenance of high/low boosted engine.
CVT tranny with ultimate smoothess & fuel efficiency! but never listed the rubberband behavior of it. not to mention the replacement cost of a new one


the main factor whether a car is good, or a car that suit your need, is to test drive them.
there is no shortcut.

if you are eyeing 1.6L, both are greatly underpowered. Koreans spec sheet is the last thing you should believe.

If really need to stick between this 2, I would take the Cerato. Sat in one and it has quality interior, though not really modern.

KIA has the power to surprise, Hyundai does not.

Cerato 2 litre got good Aust review. Not sure if Naza version has similar suspension.

paging for jayCraptor!
but i think he will ask u to buy both, both are good car from korea!

jayCraptor osso prefers Forte

lol

long live Cerato

Where is JayCrabtor btw?

Korean best...is the Asian mercs....can't go wrong bro....

is a bad move that u ask about how korea car in lyn, there's a lot korean car basher, they will say underpower la, design no good la, other car better and bla bla bla... its funny ppl said cerato "greatly" underpower, but those professional reviewer didnt say so, lucky i had a chance to test drove it on monday, the power for 1.6 is enough for daily crusing, even my company's car, altis 1.6, more underpower than cerato, mind u the cerato wearing 17" rim...
design wise, depend on individual, for me is ok, there's lot more car out there, with more ugly design...

Got money then buy 2.0L Cerato or 1.8L Elantra both are nice car.

No money then just stick with forte 1.6L that's for saving as much.

Is it better than Elantra?

Features, cerato> elantra.

Outlook, elantra > cerato. (personal preferrence)

value for money : cerato.
