Also remember the fuel consumption...Cerato will sucks more fuel in city drive... New ruling end of the year...maybe 2.0cc car no more subsidies....if petrol money is concerned, get a City.

usually 2.0 car is below 2000cc one .
Like I said...we still dunno anything. Lower cc will probably be a safer bet under this circumstances. And yes, thanks for reminding my fake lancer is only something like 1997 cc. Haha.

Have u tried test drive cerato? Really feels that draggy?
when u press the peddle, you will feel like the car is pulling something heavy.. it just dont feel like the any acceleration should feel like. Other replies like not very responsive, i totally agree!!
But before you buy any of these car, i suggest you go and test drive the car. see if which car suits you better
Look at these reviewers trying to be the local version of Mr Nasty (TopGear's you know who) See if you can view to the end of the video clip. Winner is Cerato, beating the Civic (which is a class higher than City) Cerato is compared against the Honda Civic, not City. Which is more accurate, at least.

I am quiet sure that is not the Cerato 1.6l version. If 2.0L Cerato...why even compare to the City? Price and performance not in the same range.

of course it is not. These cars used for comparisons comes in 2.0L versions. but the furnishing inside are similar to the 1.6L variants. and they probably drives the same. Look at how poorly the Civic 2.0 fared, now lets make a new forum thread in LYN asking Civic VS City...

back to the age-old question. What do you want in a car? The Cerato is furnished in a way that when you sit inside, you feel pampered. Even the 1.6L is pleasantly furnished with "premium" items (yea most imported local cars removed many things). What I liked are things like rear-seat aircond blowers, powerized driver seats with memory function (presets). these small small details make the car feels really nice. City isnt a bad car at all. In fact if this thread was about City VS some other popular B-segment cars, I would vote for City, but then you asked that Cerato be compared and so personally I would get a Cerato. Did you watch the youtube clip I shared above? Even the Civic cant compare to the Cerato (although they using 2.0L for review).
Malaysians mentality has always been to compare car based on price range, and I dont blame them. But try to look beyond the pricetag factor sometimes.
Make sure you properly test-drive both cars. Imagine yourself still using that car in 5 years.
Current results Honda City leads the poll with 30 vs 22 for cerato.
that just a survey bro..you are the one that will drive the car...both cars hv its pros and cons...choose the car that suit you most....you'll be happy with that..
Test drive and you would know. Koreans only look sporty on the exterior but performance wise is lacking. Paul Tan already compared the Cerato to the new Nissan Sylphy and have a read below. It's not only the quality of the drive from the gearbox but everything stamped with "Kia" is considered to be in the lower echelon.
The Proton Preve with turbo engine is a better buy than this Cerato. Forgot to mention the back of the Cerato looks cartoonish.
The Cerato’s smooth-shifting six-speed automatic gearbox is completely outclassed in comparison, both in terms of response and feel. With its 2.0 litre engine advantage it will edge forward in a drag race, for sure, but its superiority here is limited to outright speed alone. Though ultimately slower, the CVT pair feels more effortless gaining speed, with the Nissan being the more refined operator and the Toyota the quicker of the two.
