Hi Forumers,

I am choosing between a Toyota Altis 1.8 and a Kia Cerato 1.6. Both are C-segment cars.

Advantages of buying a Kia Cerato 1.6
- Cheaper price of RM99,888
- Cheaper installment
- Cheaper road tax
- Cheaper insurance
- Free 3 years services including parts and labour
- 5 years warranty
- More gadgets and safety - cruise control, vehicle stability management, 6 airbags
- Better dealer discount

Advantages of buying a Toyota Altis 1.8 (RM116,990 with navigation)
- Better resale value, lower depreciation rate
- Perceived better quality
- Good after sales service
- Good Brand

So far my concern is on after sales service by Naza Kia. While resale value is better for Toyota, given that we have to buy at higher price plus some other spending over the first 5 years (road tax, insurance, services etc.), this factor is not significant. Quality is subjective, both seems good from first hand test drive and feeling. Brand is less important compared to other factors.

Anyone can shed some lights on the after sales service? And if any other concern that I should be aware of when choosing these two cars?

Thank you.

So far I have been in facebook groups of Kia Rio,Cerato, Forte, K5 and I dont see any complaints regarding their service centre.. Mostly the owners there spend money modifying the cars..

Diffent situation at VW and Peugeot group though.. So I can say Kia is still pretty reliable

You should compare with 2.0 Cerato..Since the price gap would be closer with 1.8 Altis

Naza service at Kota Damansara is top notch. Service here instead.

Toyota again? Not afraid stolen a few weeks / months driving it?

if there is one thing I would really complain about the Cerato's design, it's the tail lamp when switched on during the night.
It looked like a really swollen pair of eyes. doh.gif

Toyota altis all the way bro. I test drove the latest 1.8 and the engine is so freaking smooth, it makes the cerato 1.6 i test drove before feel like its from the 90s.

Nothing beats toyota service centres!

If the extra 16k is not an issue, you should go for the Altis.

Lesser accessories, lesser headache in the long run. Not to say the Altis looks better than Cerato, but this is just my personal opinion.

Thanks for the comments. My rationale to compare these two cars is cerato 1.6 cheaper than altis 1.8. If I have to pay rm11x,xxx, I will definitely go for altis. But given that kia car has lower resale value, lesser brand value, unknown quality and after sales service, I will consider it only if kia car is significantly cheaper, such as in this comparison.

if u like gadgets like air cool seats or sunroof, choose cerato...

if u prefer refinement on the move, the new altis is way ahead of cerato...

this might step on alot of toes but the new altis has marginally better handling characteristic then the cerato... and yeah it surprises me too... wink.gif

If you are someone who love playing all those features in the car, take Cerato.

Altis would be bald, reliable and good resell value car....

UMW really sucks, why makes cars that thieves like to steal and easy to steal.... rclxub.gif
Those people who don't like Toyota, this is good reason to avoid Toyota cars.

Better buy those cars that even thieves will ignore then no need to have headaches ( since there is really no full proof way to prevent car theft, better option is to buy cars which thieves have no interest at...)

I dunno what you think about this:

to me, toyota service is just average. For example, repairs are only done during weekdays. That makes the car owner "carless" to go to work. they will only do servicing on Saturdays.

Also, most of the time, the queue is super long. usually gotta leave the car there and find your way back. there is no drop off service.

Thank you.
Asking a question like this here in LYN will not get you any closer to a decision. Both Toyota and Kia fanboys will come in here and slug it out claiming each is better. So im not gonna walk down that path. What i will give you is the 13 key criteria's in choosing a car and you can then decide from that which car to go for:

The key word with any car purchase should be VALUE FOR MONEY meaning what ure getting for what ure paying for. Generally there are 13 criteria which are important when choosing a car:

1) Price
2) Safety
3) Specifications
4) Design
5) Interior space
6) Build quality / durability
7) Ride, handling, power
8) After sales service
9) Overall maintenance cost (not just periodic maintenance)
10) Warranty terms
11) Comfort
12) Resale value
13) Future models / facelifts

There is no car in the market which has all 13 criteria’s. So the idea is always to list your choices against these criteria and then compare against how much ure paying for it.

You also need to take into account your specific needs. For instance, if ure not a driver who drives fast, long distance or spends a lot of time in the car then don’t bother getting a car which is powerful and excels in ride & handling. It will be a waste.

Also give importance to long term needs not just the present. Look at least 5 years ahead and see where ull be. Cars are a 100% loss from Day 1 so the idea is always to minimize losses by choosing the car which satisfies most of the criteria above and yet keeps the price affordable. In saying this, I don't mean that resale value should become the primary criteria hence why its No 12 on that list.

Use these 13 criteria’s when listing down your choices. Never ever choose a car based on 3 or 4 criteria’s. U'll just increase the risks of making the wrong choice. Test drives actually don’t help much because most of the time ppl don’t know how to test drive or what to look for in a test drive. But do your homework and then test. Ull get a better idea then.

Hope this helps you in your decision.

And btw, ive been a Optima K5 owner for the past 21 months after being a loyal Toyota customer for 9.5 years. Do i regret my decision to switch? Except for after sales service which Toyota excels in, i dont. And please give alot of importance to safety and especially the Stability Control function. It saved my life last year.

Based on your budget, the Altis 1.8 at RM116k. Is this the right comparison with Cerato 1.6L? Not Cerato 2.0L?

Please note, C-segment 1.6L is not that much difference from C-segment 1.8L as the 1.6L engine will need to rev more to move from idle. Both returns around 9.2km/L to 10km/L in 100% city jam traffic depends on how jam. 1.6L engine only wins in idle only FC. Cerato wins on gearbox maintenance as Altis is CVT.

If you go for Cerato, NASA after sales, only few good sub-franchised SC that do things fast. Others, you'll might take longer wait. Spare part wise, plenty as spare part suppliers outside already bring in bulk cheap parts. After warranty or confirmed the car is not defective, you can send to Korean car mates or trusted workshops with qualified engineers for service. Hyundai-Kia reliability & durability is good, better than other Japanese brands but behind Toyota.

If you go for the new Altis, after sales and spare parts are fine but if there's any unexpected dispute like unusual defective wear & tear while under warranty, less likely you'll win against them should they want you to pay. Altis FC is good.

It's up to you which to choose. Go for Altis, it's newly launch, you'll get more attention. Go for Cerato, you'll get more package. If you're ok with Elantra 1.8, you should check that one too.

Don't thrust this fellow who had only driven 1 low specs obsolete car @ NASA Forte EX 1.6 4AT come with black steel rim..lol

1.8 vs 1.6 in fact quite different, 1.6 usually quite struggle on highway, a decent C segment should be at lease 1.8 ltr capacity.

KIA engine r by far behind compare with the japs T,H,N,M.

To ensure your right choice you should conduct a range of test initial by Dr. Jayraptor De Mad Scientists, 2 ltr run till engine stalled FC test, Reserve gear uphill GB test, 100kgs sand bag drag race test, Zigzag handling test with 5 full size adult..before deciding ..lol

It's Dr. Jayraptor secret code. .lol

Let me give u short lesson while waiting for Choy San.

NASA = NAZA
Honta = Honda
N Brand = Nissan

Our Jayraptor afraid those companies will sue his pants off if he use the correct spelling, while criticising their products, I wonder what had he possess apart from a 5 years old Forte EX 1.6 4AT which still have 4 years loan (he took max 9 years loan to buy that car in 2009)..lol

If u insist on Altis, get the 2.0V. The 1.8 no VSC, and little airbags. However, I would personally go for cerato 2.0, cuz it's packed with gadgets and safety features. Design wise, it's subjective though

Don't thrust this fellow who had only driven 1 low specs obsolete car @ NASA Forte EX 1.6 4AT come with black steel rim..lol

1.8 vs 1.6 in fact quite different,  1.6 usually quite struggle on highway, a decent C segment should be at lease 1.8 ltr capacity.

KIA engine r by far behind compare with the japs T,H,N,M.

To ensure your right choice you should conduct a range of  test initial by Dr. Jayraptor De Mad Scientists,  2 ltr run till engine stalled FC test, Reserve gear uphill GB test, 100kgs sand bag drag race test, Zigzag handling test with 5 full size adult..before deciding ..lol
*


It's Dr. Jayraptor secret code. .lol

Let me give u short lesson while waiting for Choy San.

NASA = NAZA
Honta = Honda
N Brand = Nissan

Our Jayraptor afraid those companies will sue his pants off if he use the correct spelling, while criticising their products, I wonder what had he possess apart from a 5 years old Forte EX 1.6 4AT which still have 4 years loan (he took max 9 years loan to buy that car in 2009)..lol
C-segment 1.6 is for those who can't afford 1.8L or 2.0L but wanted a C-segment anyway. So you're saying your crap 3rd nation Lavina 1.6L with poor aerodynamic and kerb weight as heavy as C-segment struggle on highway? Not just the 1.6L, even your 1.8L struggle on highway due to 4AT where FC won't go pass 14km/L unless you use cheat the fuel pump nozzle method in lightfoot contest.

I went for Forte 1.6EX because of less gadget and smaller tyres aka cheaper maintenance. Also, already predicted that NASA lousy marketing causing the 2.0L RV drop to just slightly higher than 1.6SX on first year.

Local Kia engine is in fact more advanced than Honta and N-brand but beaten by Mazda/Ford GDI engines. However, they already have downgraded injectors for their GDI engines and the Hyundai i40 has been altered to suit our local fuel grade. Toyota already has the tech available in Lexus, but not willing to use on Toyota in mass yet.

The name NAZAK and later NASA was given by you. Honta means Ultar while N-brand refers to 3rd nation junks. Nissan refers to Altima, Sentra US.

Ah ha ! Now ur statement is contradict with the previous statement that 1.6 & 1.8 no differences.
Grand Livina is a MPV@Wagon, the main purpose r for those who need a 5+2 vehicle, aka those who need to fetch extra passenger but not on regular basis, therefore 1.6 is more that adequate though 1.8 is also available.
Nissan fuel economy test is conduct by various renowned auto website include AW, Paultan.org & CBT therefore the results is reliable.

U went for Kosong specs EX because even base on max 9 years loan you r not qualify for SX loan.

N brand r renowned for its ultra reliable engine that why it is the preferred brand for long distance Taxi (light blue taxi), this year TC will launch Altima & New Sylphy aka US Sentra with latest dual VVT tech.

The record in AW clearly shows U R the one who started NASA for NAZA as u afraid getting disciplinary/legal action.

Nissan Sylphy 2010 can still get 55% of selling price, Naza Forte is currently the most teruk RV 2.0 C segment.

Cannot imagine RV for those taking 7-9 years loan when they complete their loan.

Eh friend dont u get tired with this same crap over n over again ah? Dont u have more important things to worry about? Keep on and on about resale value. Instead of just talking about poor resale value why dont u provide actual figures comparing original purchase price with current 2nd hand selling price for each make e.g Forte, Sylphy, Civic and Altis? Provide at least 3 examples for each (with links) then let them see for themselves. Figures cannot lie so why dont u just provide them the actual info instead of going on and on trying to prove them wrong? Damn sien listening to the same nonsense on all Kia threads la.

Do a simple table with the original selling price vs the current 2nd hand selling price for each make. U can get info from Mudah. Give at least 3 examples for each. Then easier for everybody to see and judge for themselves. If not this will just be a never-ending boring discussion.

Segments are not determined by the equipment range in the car la. Segments are mainly based on dimensions. Equipment range is not always determined by an individual's wants and needs. Its given to add value. Its silly to start this discussion about wats needed and whats not needed. Most Malaysians will say they dont need stability control also. How many of us have been in accidents that require airbag deployment? Does that mean we dont need airbags also. My point is dont bother with the 'i dont need this' argument. Doesnt get you anywhere.

I dunno what u refering to as old Cerato. There is only one Cerato in Malaysia and thats the current version. Both the Forte and Cerato are C segment cars the same as the BMW 320i.

Is it? When I want to sit to the old Cerato on driver side, I have no problem entering it. Steering also never hit my leg with the seat pull to the middle.
While the new Cerato I have problem entering it and steering still hitting my leg even with the seat push to back totally.
BTW, I use Lancer/Inspira as benchmark. Unless I'm using Myvi as benchmark, yes, I do agree with you that current Cerato is a C-segment car. Even Myvi have way more legroom than Cerato.

Do you know how many different dimensions are taken into consideration? U are only refering to legroom. What about hip room, head room, shoulder room, etc? What about the total length of the car, wheelbase, width, etc? All these need to be taken into consideration. You need to also consider seat design, dashboard overhang, size of side panels, etc as well. So you cant just use legroom. What about the legroom in the BMW 320i? Have u sat in one? Go sit and tell me how much legroom you have inside. If u only compare legroom, then the Sylphy is surely D segment while the BMW 320i is B segment cuz its quite cramped in there. What about the new Ford Focus? Thats gotta be the most cramped C segment in the market.

Btw, i dont know what problems you get entering the new Cerato unless ure very tall. Im 183cm and ive had no issues entering the Cerato.

Well, normally when i want to see a car, I don't ask my other half to go. Instead, I ask another 4 friends that having same size as me(80-90kg, 175-180cm).
Then sit on it and see who will make noise first. So, old Cerato passed on this but new Cerato I not even invited my friends, just go alone only already I know it sure failed.

Nobody is getting fooled and nobody is blindly supporting anything. You are connecting the wrong dots here. For you segments are determined by legroom which is NOT the case. There are about 10-15 different dimensional criteria which determine segmentation. Legroom is just one of them.

Even within the segments there are different classification now. There is compact, entry level, luxury, etc. All this you can get even within the same segment. Previously segments were driven mainly by the engine capacity. ANything which was 2.0L and above was D segments. BUt now its different. There are C segment cars with 2.0L engines. There are also B segment cars which are as powerful as D segment cars although engine capacity may be smaller thanks to the inclusion of turbo engines.

The point im trying to make is that segmentation of vehicles is determined by a range of criteria. Legroom is only one of those criteria.

What does the dimensions tell? Nothing. Comfort or not still have to sit on the actual car.

I am right. You said that based on legroom, the Cerato is NOT a C segment. 100% wrong. Then you said this Cerato is MUCH SMALLER than the previous Forte. Also 100% wrong. Now suddenly u are changing your line of argument and talking about comfort. Common la friend. biggrin.gif

Let me give you some actual dimensions to prove my point to you. This is comparison between Cerato vs Forte. First set of data is for Cerato and all in inches.

Front head room - 39.1,40.0
Front leg room - 42.2, 43.3
Front hip room - 53.8, 53.0
Front shoulder room - 56.1, 55.7
Rear head room - 37.3, 37.6
Rear leg room - 35.9, 35.0
Rear hip room - 53.1, 53.3
Rear shoulder room - 54.9, 54.7
Width - 70.1, 69.9

What does the dimensions tell? Nothing. Comfort or not still have to sit on the actual car.
If I were to look at those numbers, I already bought it before it launched.
Dimensions tell you something, comfort tells you something else. Both are different set of criteria and influenced by different factors. I suggest you do some reading up before commenting further.

I am right. You said that based on legroom, the Cerato is NOT a C segment. 100% wrong. Then you said this Cerato is MUCH SMALLER than the previous Forte. Also 100% wrong. Now suddenly u are changing your line of argument and talking about comfort. Common la friend.  biggrin.gif

Let me give you some actual dimensions to prove my point to you. This is comparison between Cerato vs Forte. First set of data is for Cerato and all in inches.

Front leg room - 42.2, 43.3
Front hip room - 53.8, 53.0
Front shoulder room - 56.1, 55.7
Rear head room - 37.3, 37.6
Rear leg room - 35.9, 35.0
Rear hip room - 53.1, 53.3
Rear shoulder room - 54.9, 54.7

I didn't sit at the rear seat that time so can't comment on rear space...
But in front confirmed feel smaller, or is it bcoz cerato dashboard more bigger than forte so dashboard use more front space ? I believed manufacturer didn't provide dashboard size, do they ?

Well, he just merely want's to prove me wrong. Will he slap his own face on this to provide you the figures? I doubt so he will.
Anyway, the sales of the new Cerato is a good point to prove us how good they are. Till today, Altis numbers till standing top when comparing Cerato.

U are just being childish. The purpose of my last few posts is to prove you have made a mistake in 2 things:

1) Legroom is not the ONLY factor which determines vehicle segmentation
2) The new Cerato is NOT MUCH SMALLER than the Forte

And i believe that i have proven my points above beyond doubt. I have never said that the Cerato is a good car, or that it is better than the Altis or that its a worthy buy or that Cerato sales are better than any other car out there or that we should buy cars based on dimensions.

You have made 2 mistakes and i have proven you wrong. Learn to admit your mistake and move on. LYN is a forum to discuss and learn in a matured manner. Everybody makes mistakes. No big dea and no need to get emotional.

Cheers!

(Btw, you dont know what the actual sale numbers are for any of the makes in the country so try not to claim something when you do not have the data to back yourself up. And just to be clear in case you fail to understand simple English, im not saying that Cerato sales are better than Altis or any other car out there)

Tis again is another silly statement but this time im not gonna rebut using my argument. Ill let the expert Paul Tan deal with this false accusation of yours. So please read this article to the end and then come tell me that Paul Tan is wrong and you are right.

Can i bring your attention to Paul Tan's exact words in the this article in the 3rd last paragraph:

'On the comfort front, the Cerato has them all licked'

The article itself:
http://paultan.org/2013/07/04/driven-kia-c...alaysian-roads/

But then again, what does Paul Tan know about cars and comfort right? he's just a noob right? Ure so much more of an expert than him. notworthy.gif

(Btw, again im not saying the Cerato is a great car worthy of top sales or purchase so dont mince my words yea?!) biggrin.gif

He is being paid for such review. Why not get that UK jerk Jeremy Clakson's review?
Again, I said Cerato is smaller than Forte that's my real world testing, I don't give a sheet on those numbers. Which another member also agreed with me on this.

Why dont you get Jeremy's review and post it here? Till now you have yet to provide any tangible data to suport your argument besides your 'i feel it so it must be true' line. whistling.gif

Btw, did i ever say that the Cerato is bigger than the Forte? If i have, please copy and paste my exact comment here. biggrin.gif

When its clear that you have been proven wrong and with proof, be man enough to admit and move on la. The more you argue the more ure embarassing yourself even to the extent of claiming that Paul Tan is biased in his reviews. doh.gif

Obviously your feel on your real world testing only serve u and you alone thus pls be reminded to include 'that's just me' at the end of your review/comment in the near future as clearly to the rest of us, your review doesn't reflect to the actual.

Also there is no need to show your 'bruised ego' further by commenting and dragging all sort of unrelated topic into the argument without any supporting detail.

That my friend will show how a fool turn himself into a bigger fool.

Need meh? Because Forte owner knows already. I got a twin brothers that 1 own Inspira(thanks to him praising it till I buy) and another own the 1.6 Forte. Both of them never complaint. But when see the new Cerato, they both say : this is really a C-segment car or a Compact-segment car?

He already knows he has made a mistake and he knows he is screwed. Best thing is that he assumes that im a Cerato supporter just because i whacked him with facts which didnt support his notion that the Cerato was crap.

But wht really baffles me how he can claim that Paultan is biased and therefore his review is crap but what his 2 brothers and 'expert' friend are Gospel truth? rclxub.gif

This is clearly a case of shooting ones mouth off without having sufficient knowledge about cars or doing proper research. In any case im still awaiting his response on the legroom factor which he brought up earlier. Ive provided the raw data and measurements of all dimensions but till now no response. hmm.gif

There are suddenly many white knights becoz there are ignorant person who said cerato is smaller car/ not C-segment car.
Same case when there are ignorant person who said altis just like vios in same segment b4.

Those people who said that usually will say it based on what I see; not based on actual fact.

Want to ask. For example.

1.u buy altis 2014 10%dp with 5 year installment then you resell it before the next gen altis reveal(usually most each car model on road every 5 year then it will change with new model).
2..u buy altis 2014 10%dp with 9 yrs installment then u sell it before the next gen altis reveal.
3.u buy 2014 altis 10& with 5 year installment then you resell it after the next gen altis reveal.
4.u buy altis 2014 10%dp with 9 yrs installment then u sell it after the next gen altis reveal (around year 2021)

which option u think will give better resale value?

Bought my KIA cerato 1.6 and I am a gadget guy so it was well worth the spending. Toyota was never the brand I liked plus theres way too many lala bengs taking toyota already in the market.

For those always saying bad resale value and shit, why not just ride a motorbike and buy a god damn house instead. thats resale value for you/

Why does the FL K5 look weird? Seems alright to me.

The price increase is justified since there were a few good additions e.g 2 ventilated front seats, better leather quality on all seats, electronic parking brake, drive mode select, electric power steering, better rear combination lights and new sports rims.

Everyone keep mentioning that the Japanese has a better engine refinement but do they know the Koreans are using part of Mitsu tech since the Accent Generation?

Global Engine Alliance

Main article: Global Engine Alliance
The Global Engine Alliance was a joint venture between Chrysler, Mitsubishi Motors, and the Hyundai Motor Company for developing a line of shared engines 4-cylinder engines. The initial design of the engine block and cylinder head was handled by Hyundai. However, each manufacturer configured their variants of the initial design differently based on their needs. In 2009, Chrysler bought out Mitsubishi and Hyundai's stake in the joint-venture, however each company retained rights to build the engines.

I read somewhere that people who buy high RV car normally is not a rich person. They need high RV coz they cannot afford to put high d/p for next new car, hence RV helps them a lot to minimize burning to their wallet...
As a return, they need to sacrifice other features like safety or gadgets just for a sake of RV...

Nowadays most car manufacturers offer 5 years unlimited mileage warranties. So not a real issue. Plus warranties only cover defects not wear & tear except for BMW's BSRI package.

If the car can fetch one from a to b, at the lowest cost, lowest maintenance cost, least headache, good low rpm torque and ferry few chicks along the way is their choice so I also kenot brain why u so kepo ppl punya choice , did you down-payment for their car . It's mind-blowing whistling.gif

I read somewhere that people who buy high RV car normally is not a rich person. They need high RV coz they cannot afford to put high d/p for next new car, hence RV helps them a lot to minimize burning to their wallet...
As a return, they need to sacrifice other features like safety or gadgets just for a sake of RV...
Dunno... i prefer old k5...

You don't have to read it from somewhere to notice that RV affect middle to low class people. 90% ppl not rich so yes RV does matter to many ppl. problem?
Get high dp for next new car is not something to be complained over about right?

I do get it that safety is important but accident is not your everyday matter in one's life...I mean, it is not a be all and end all matter. It is not an immediate life and death thing....like insurance, it is important but not everyone buys or believe in insurance....some ppl still believe the old method over insurance as alternative or 'drive slow' for matter of 'safer' car.
Lastime ppl drive also without safety where got all these safety jargons VSC ESC etc ppl still get to somewhere safely.

I'm not advocating that we should get a car with less safety, I do think that we should...BESIDES, what car nowadays that do not have safety mah? (referring to toyota lines but i'm not well versed of their features/specs. If they don't , they should buck up. if they do, between toyota and a korean, I dont think choosing toyota is bad either due to the better RV as determinant. not a problem ya?

Just saying, RV is really seem more immediate benefit to ppl who change their vehicles often ie. transport companies who replace their vehicles very frequently, RV does direct impact their spreadsheet more than safety concerns or a single executive who prefers a good down-payment over safety. So why is it a 'no-brainer'? is puzzling to me that some ppl cannot brain why still many prefer RV over safety.

buy saga sv instant saving of rm30k against vios - dont even need to talk about RV
buy preve instant saving of 40k against altis - another example of dont even need to talk about RV

can't think of a D-segment against Camry.. but you get the idea. if you want to talk about resale value.. it's more practical to think of a car which has similar functionality and even better both technically and practically in the first place in terms of pricing. Preve after 5 year sell rm 25k for example.. i'm pretty sure you can get more than that, as compared to a 5 year old altis which most likely fetch 60k - 70k for example. Use your fingers and count how much you have lost there before you talk about resale value.

I think uve got the whole safety thing wrong. Safety is NOT insurance and no where even similar to insurance. Insurance deals with your ability to pay for medical costs or your dependants welfare. Safety is LIFE itself. Accidents are not your everyday matter but all it takes is ONE accident and someone's life is out the door. Are you willing to take a gamble on safety assuming that you wont get into an accident?

In all my years of driving, ive never experienced a high speed tyre blowout but early last year i did and if it wasnt for the stability control function on my car, i would have ended up smashing into the trailer i was overtaking on the highway when it happened or slamming into the guardrail. Yes i never had any use for stability control for 99% of my driving time all these years but that one time was all i needed and if it wasnt for it, i may not be here writing this now.

So in short, let's not take away any importance from safety. Car owners should never compromise on safety and should never choose resale value over it. ABS, EBD, BA, Stability Control, Traction Control and at least 4 airbags should be compulsory in any car. As long as consumers in Malaysia continue to purchase cars with substandard safety features, car manufacturers will continue to sell them. UMW Toyota not making VSC a standard feature in all Altis models is a joke and they should be boycotted for that. Would Toyota dare sell a car without VSC in America or Australia? So why are Malaysians accepting non VSC equipped cars here?

Even Paultan is a strong advocate for safety especially Stability Control:

Well said mate.

Some people are just still living in a thick shell of their own, choosing to bet on their lives over money and worst the so called RV over safety features. No HUMAN can predict or forecast when a life threatening/taking accident may happen and u ain't got no spare for life.

It is about time for a wake up call to those who are still living in the thick shell of theirs to break apart and look into the importance of life and how deep the impact of safety features in our daily ridden car to our precious life if an accident occur.

It will be the least that we can do and even offer comfort instead of gloating and mourning what we could have done, who to blame when an accident happened.

then mybe we all should buy preve n saga and not buy japs is that what you are saying? Previously, I stated RV is influential to many ppl and perceive it alittle over safety but i didnt say brand doesnt top it all. So brand loyalty is so much stronger than anything else icon_idea.gif

matters means RV factor is a consideration in their decision making, not necessarily integral/prime.

Do u know middle class income ppl is categorized as earning from rm3500-12000 per month including execs and managers who earning in that paycheck region?

many ppl I know in my network in that salary range do change car very often, almost every 2-7 years...that is considered very often d and arent they are middle class ppl?

I mean it is still seem apparently important in their decision making, I'm merely explaining their behavior NOT JUSTIFYING why they should get a good RV car....:sigh:

So paying 20K less upfront makes it better RV? RV stands for resell value....resell, means residual amount when you resell back to secondary market
I didn't write up the articles in the internet about toyota being the RV king. Guys in the internet did biggrin.gif

RV = Resale value. Not resell value.

I think what he meant was that you have to look at the percentage of the RV instead of the value itself since the original purchase price may be different. Simple math.

Bro, I would like to re-emphasize your statements about the importance of ESP/ESC with following videos.


ESP immediately kicked in to prevent fishtailing.

That is the problem with most people, they see the end figure not the total money they lost during 5 years period. They still feel proud on their RV when they lost much in the exchange. whistling.gif

By ratio, of course we can see car with higher price will drop more after several years compared to cheap cars like proton, eventhough that car can be consider as RV king. We cannot compare altis and surprima because for me suprima is cheap. Try compare altis and proton perdana, or proton waja chansellor, see how many price depreciate

Disagree.
In spite of different purchase price, cars should be comparable... if the give you similar value somewhat (note value, not price) or class.
E.g. Inspira vs. Altis. Both give similar 'value' i.e. c-segment with all bells & whistles.
Altis and Perdana would are of different class/segment.

My personal opinion is to find out the total expense for a car after driving for n years. For the current scenario, let's say I take a 5 years 90% loan. I can calculate how much exactly I need to spend on installments for 5 years, roadtax, approximate insurance and original service center maintenance (Cerato first 3 years is free). So installment + roadtax + insurance + maintenance are my total expense. Assuming in reality that Kia car depreciates faster than Toyota car by 5% more, I can estimate the resale value and minus off from my total expense. Coupled with some incentives when I purchase the car - NCD55%, car discount, dealer discount etc., then I can find out my NET EXPENSE. Of course, this does not include the Time Value of Money which is more complicated.

And hence, Toyota Altis (RM114K) and Kia Cerato (99.888K), after 5 years, RV is RM58K and RM36K respectively. However, you will also spend more for Altis, given higher installment, road tax, insurance and maintenance. At the end, the Net Spend for both cars is about the same, slightly more than RM70K. That means resale value is immaterial now, and main consideration should be on other aspects such as safety, features, design, service, quality etc.

Come on u need to show us some link or paper to believe what u claim on the costing is indeed truth, or everybody can too come out with baseless figure

Sentra is same generation with Spectra & Old Elantra, I don't find these car is rich in features either.

As for Almera isn't King Vios is equally "Dry" in features, so is Accent.

BTW this thread is Altis 1.8 vs Cerato 1.6, try not to divert to Nissan & Jolokia.

Ah ha ! Now ur statement is contradict with the previous statement that 1.6 & 1.8 no differences.
Grand Livina is a MPV@Wagon, the main purpose r for those who need a 5+2 vehicle,  aka those who need to fetch extra passenger but not on regular basis, therefore 1.6 is more that adequate though 1.8 is also available.
Nissan fuel economy test is conduct by various renowned auto website include AW, Paultan.org & CBT therefore the results is reliable.

U went for Kosong specs EX because even base on max 9 years loan you r not qualify for SX loan.

N brand r renowned for its ultra reliable engine that why it is the preferred brand for long distance Taxi (light blue taxi), this year TC will launch Altima & New Sylphy aka US Sentra with latest dual VVT tech.

The record in AW clearly shows U R the one who started NASA for NAZA as u afraid getting disciplinary/legal action.

Few months ago u dare to says Forte can sell good price ..lol  now 4 years Forte 2.0  aleady loss 50% resales value..wakakaka

Don't try to twist and turn with my comment. The Lavina 1.6 doesn't have VVT therefore it returns poor FC. Aren't you forgetting that you infected the local journalists back then? Because of that, they still have to stick to fake report in their article today. AW, Paultan & CBT are nothing more than thrash, today, they would be more careful and stick to facts hoping that people will forget what they said back then.

That Forte EX so cheap, I only took short term loan. It's confirmed reliable and durable despite not much attention paid to it, still good as new. The ultra reliable engine blue taxi in Sonata NF already proven trouble free. The Sylphy & Cefiro are proven to be junk that are not so practical compared to Sonata NF.

Still bragging of bringing in new Altima and US Sentra? Lol!! Your Japanese principal don't even want to give you the plant as you ruined things up with earlier models until almost drag them down. If you want to sell new Altima, wait until Nissan setup plant in Thailand. As for US Sentra, why haven't you brought in to sell yet? The new Altis 2014 already here before you? Is it because you don't get to maximize max profit if you take CBU from Thailand?

Record in AW shows you and your earlier username Popcorn used NAZAK first and then changed to NASA.

Forte RV still ok, it has stronger RV than N-brand now based on actual price paid by customers. Check trade in RV at Toyota, the used car dealer gave better value to Forte than Latio from same year. Forte 2.0L RV still ok compared to Sylphy. Sylphy is now "Cold Door" car together with Latio labelled by used car dealers that are difficult to sell with poor demand. Even your sales has been all time low.

And hence, Toyota Altis (RM114K) and Kia Cerato (99.888K), after 5 years, RV is RM58K and RM36K respectively. However, you will also spend more for Altis, given higher installment, road tax, insurance and maintenance. At the end, the Net Spend for both cars is about the same, slightly more than RM70K. That means resale value is immaterial now, and main consideration should be on other aspects such as safety, features, design, service, quality etc.
*
I think you could take Elantra's RV to get rough estimate on Cerato's predicted RV as the 2 are based on same platform. Elantra is currently Korean model with strongest RV that is getting closer to Toyota and Honda. Anyone managed to get test drive on the new Altis? I've just checked the Altis and here's my verdict without test drive.

Exterior design is acceptable, looks more European taste. I prefer US Altis that resembles Forte front. Roofline is made aerodynamic, size has increased much to Elantra/Cerato size dwarfing the Civic that seems out of the league. At least Toyota's feeling the pinch of Koreans invasion and decided to come up with something equivalent. Interior wise, the Altis legroom and headroom are good but interior width lost to Cerato. My head is leaning on the C-pillar. The dash looks like retro conti design, at least they put up some quality material there. The seats are thin look cheap a bit and doesn't suit the new Altis look. Splitfold doesn't really come down flat with smaller opening access to boot. For the first time, Toyota is generous to give thick pillars and doors for extra safety.

Dimension LxWxH
Cerato : 4560 x 1780 x 1445
2.0L dual VVT
output 161ps@6500rpm
torque 194Nm@4800rpm
kerb wei

Altis : 4620 x 1776 x 1460
2.0V dual VVT
output 145ps@6200rpm
torque 187Nm@3600rpm
kerb weight 1300kg/1295kg

1.8L dual VVT
139ps@6400rpm
173Nm@4000rpm
kerb weight 1270kg

Elantra : 4530 x 1775 x 1445
1.8L dual VVT
output 150ps@6500rpm
torque 178Nm@4700rpm
kerb weight 1269kg

Since Cerato has 2.0L while Elantra has 1.8L, the Altis 2.0 and 1.8 are compared to different Korean brands. As usual, Toyota is tuned more towards FC rather than performance, it has high rev capability. For the 1.8L is fine but for 2.0L, those who would go for it would have wanted performance instead of FC. Else, what's the point for buying 2.0L when 1.8L is adequate for C-segment. The 3ZR 2.0L Toyota engine is capable of having 194Nm@4000rpm if tuned up to 150ps beating Nu 2.0L MPI engine. Because the 2.0L is tuned for FC, acceleration 0-100km/h is only 10s that is only 0.2s faster than Elantra 1.8L. The previous Altis FL already come with better suspension with acceptable handling, I expect the new Altis should be somewhere around there.

Everything seems ok, only letdown is the CVT gearbox that brings down practicality and durability score. Toyota should have fitted conventional 5AT or 6AT instead.

What rubbish u talking about ? This is Altis 1.8 Vs Cerato 1.6, why bring Lavina ? even so who says car with no VVT have bad FC, Iswara & Wira with not what so ever VVT also very fuel efficient what.
Ya we not supposed to believe in Paultan/AW/CBT instead believe in Ding Dong Dr. Jayraptor is it ?

9 years max loan for Forte EX Kosong u called short term loan ? Sonata NF was choosen as it been dumb at dirt cheap price to Singapore use as taxi, nothing fancy about it, in fact Cefiro been use as more premium airport limo.

Nissan Altima already going to be release anytime yet u still dreaming..lol

Just look at Almera despite been late commer already beat City sales, FYI Nissan current 2nd best non National Car overtaking Honda & just behind Toyota,, eat your heart out... thumbup.gif

Check your comment, you brought up Lavina 1.6 vs 1.8 first in your reply to TS, with twisted comment that you said from me. I'm just countering back with facts.

FYI, my Forte loan already settled long ago. Luckily NASA managed to sell it at low price before there was Inspira.

Sonata NF based price sold to blue taxi company in here and in Singapore costs more expensive than you offering your Cefiro and Sylphy during the evaluation. Sonata NF won because of better FC, better performance & handling, better comfort NVH. Yes, that old Sonata NF was well built at its time but sacrificed in order to prove its reliability & durability in maintenance and toughness which proven good. That is why people dare to buy Korean makes nowadays.

Your Almera is sold at P1 price, sure can beat City. But now that Preve safety rating is proven and it's better than your Almera in safety, performance and handling, do you think it can snatch back the sales you stole from them?

If CVT broken, can your SC overhaul or have to order brand new from Japan at high price when no more warranty? Do you know why Audi dropped CVT gearbox from its current models and picked conventional gearbox back?

the altis's dash more like AE era type, while the rest are quite modern. base on review that i read (local & abroad), the interior quality is not bad.
never really tried to sit inside yet (130k without vsc is kinda potong stim)

for the cerato...well, its much depend on the person's taste. for me its kinda overly done.

the only thing i enjoy for cerato is its electric seat biggrin.gif and black/dark interior

Actually there isn't much choice when it come to replacing the aged Toyota Crown Diesel as new Toyota Crown r heading toward luxury car, most other japanese manufacturer no longer made cheap D segment Diesel powered car (At lease non that i know of).

The only reason i can think of chosing Sonata NF as Taxi is "CHEAP" laugh.gif

That Rio 1.4 engine + 4AT are actually stronger than your weak sluggish Almera outdated tech engine + weak 4AT. Currently, NASA still thinking whether to bring in existing Rio 1.6 sedan now or wait for the next new Rio that is not yet built for the RM80k market.

You have been coming up with false claims & fake news many times. Like the boy who cried wolf or tiger, people already don't bother with whatever new cars that you claimed will bring in. People just listen right ear in, left ear out with your fake promise.

Toyota won't have to afraid at all. Only thing is they are waiting for new total redesign Camry as the current is a let down. The new Altis and Vios however would be strong like proper Toyota. That US Sentra look is outdated compared to Altis. Who would want to buy an uncle looking Sentra that copied older Korean design that is obsolete. Better buy Altis.

Since when did your 3rd nation N-brand beat Honda? Ugly Teana already joining Sylphy's fate on poor RV and demand. Almera can still sell because of selling at Preve's price. However, Preve's reputation is getting better than Almera on its proven safety by that Nurse who lost control in Terengganu highway.

People better buy Samsung Galaxy Note than buying that Note hatchback that you intend to bring in. Could be another failure as the hot hatch market has been dominated by Fiesta and VW Polo that have performance & handling.

Sonata NF blue taxi here is petrol 2.4L. In 2008, there was a competition held by local Blue Taxi fleet where chosen winner will be primary taxis. Few car companies provided their models and Sonata NF won despite costing more expensive than Cefiro & Sylphy.

That US Sentra look is outdated compared to Altis. Who would want to buy an uncle looking Sentra that copied older Korean design that is obsolete. Better buy Altis.

Since when did your 3rd nation N-brand beat Honda? Ugly Teana already joining Sylphy's fate on poor RV and demand. Almera can still sell because of selling at Preve's price. However, Preve's reputation is getting better than Almera on its proven safety by that Nurse who lost control in Terengganu highway.

People better buy Samsung Galaxy Note than buying that Note hatchback that you intend to bring in. Could be another failure as the hot hatch market has been dominated by Fiesta and VW Polo that have performance & handling.

Sonata NF blue taxi here is petrol 2.4L. In 2008, there was a competition held by local Blue Taxi fleet where chosen winner will be primary taxis. Few car companies provided their models and Sonata NF won despite costing more expensive than Cefiro & Sylphy.

That Rio 1.4 engine + 4AT are actually stronger than your weak sluggish Almera outdated tech engine + weak 4AT. Currently, NASA still thinking whether to bring in existing Rio 1.6 sedan now or wait for the next new Rio that is not yet built for the RM80k market.

U never check world market for Note which is quite good, anyway "our" note target is Jazz.

BTW where is your laoya Caren ? till date also no replacement for bad sales Rondo.

U don't even dare to bring in i20X, Accent, Rio Sedan, till date u also don't have any MPV.

We N brand r more daring bringing in new model compare to your laoya Brand,,, flex.gif

Our N brand sales already overtake Honta in 2013, this year with our New Sentra, Altima, Note, our sales expect even better. thumbup.gif

New 2014 Altis is very nice look, sporty interior, the engine and super CVT-I gearbox is very smooth , very economy.

My opinion is Altis 1.8 which balance for city & highway driving.
The most important fuel economy is top in the class.
90km/hr highway = 18km/liter.
Thailand tested even higher = 20km/liter.

If want to buy Altis call me for best price. Thanks.

Lol, with your bunch managing the company, you sure you can sell Note better than lousy Jazz? What will you do this time? Throw CRA2Y discount again? FYI, if you bring in dual VVT engine, under revised P1 protection, you'll be forced to sell higher. Anyway, you have CRA2Y discount, if have to set selling price at rm100K also no problem. You can throw lots of discount until it is priced at RM70k to counter Jazz.

Under lousy people like you in NASA, they said MPV if priced over RM100k can't sell. What a stupid remark there. If that's how it's like, wonder why Hyundai selling Starex at RM150k can sell well. If brought in Caren price tag should be RM140k region. They probably assumed by using Orlando as example which is totally wrong.

Problem with i20X and Accent, if SD bring in, do you know they'll have to be priced not too much different from Inspira? i20X and Accent will be priced at >RM90k region which is so close to Elantra 1.6, do you think people will buy Elantra or would go for something lower at similar price range?

Rio might get new replacement anytime as it has been around since 2011, NASA doesn't want to risk plus they already brought in Cerato 1.6. If brought in, Rio 1.6 sedan priced at RM90k+, you think people will go for Rio or pay little more for Cerato 1.6? If you have forgotten that bank loan currently offer very low interest rate, you take higher loan, every month, you only pay RM10-30 more.

I smell Mdm A Yap @ Kaylcar somewhere ... sniff 2

The thread aleady wrong in the beginning by comparing a 1.8 Altis with 1.6 Cerato to begin with, different capacity different price tag, different origin.

Since it already "dead on arrival" might as well recycled it to N brand Vs NASA instead of starting another thread.

Common sense, under new P1 protection, if a car has better tech than Inspira like having dual VVT, 6AT gearbox automatic have to priced higher. Heard they wanted to come up with CKD Jazz petrol which will enjoy cheap price at RM80k range. It's still using old tech therefore can be priced lower.

For Hyundai, there's already Elantra 1.6 at RM98k, if they brought in Accent 1.6, they have to price it at least RM90k bottomline.

For Kia, the Cerato is at RM102k, if they brought in Rio 1.6, it'll be priced at least RM90k bottomline.

Carens at RM140k can actually sell. It comes with new GDI engine in Australia. Since the i40 has downgraded injector to suit RON95, then expect newer Hyundai-Kia upcoming batches to have GDI engines like Mazda.

Carens specs:
Nu engine 1999cc (81 x 97)
output 163ps@6500rpm
torque 213Nm@4700rpm
Compression ratio 11.5 : 1

6AT gearbox (4.212, 2.637, 1.800, 1.386, 1.000, 0.772)
reverse 3.385, final 3.510

Length 4525
Width 1805
Height 1610
Wheelbase 2750

NASA might need to rethink and get this in. Those who have budget around RM150k, this would be ideal more car like 7-seater for them. It won't be competitor to Starex which is large MPV with boxy style which serves different purpose.

U don't talk rubbish, your Forte also consider same specs as Inspira what how come can priced at 80+K ?? Even your antique Citra also selling at Exora price range, what say U.

U live in Jungle ah ? CKD Jazz Petrol already available for a long time.

That why i say ur laoya NASA wrongly price their car, now cannot bring in Rio 1.6 as Rio 1.4 is price too close to Cerato 1.6, so Rio 1.6 Sedan can't fit in.

U talk talk talk till moon come out still no new Caren as U bunch intend to continue selling old Rondo & antique Citra here, unlike N brand which bring newer model like Serena Hybrid & Facelift Livina.

Post all the oversea 1st world specs Caren which U bunch never bring in is pointless, just make U bunch more malu.. whistling.gif
