Hi guys, I'm looking around for options in a sedan and a 2017 Kia Cerato 1.6 is on the list. It's attractive because it's bigger than the Almera, City, and Vios with a slightly more powerful engine while still being more affordable (for a used one). Not to mention, it looks like it's better equipped.

Can anyone comment on the maintenance cost like regular servicing and what not? Worried that it might expensive in the long run as I was strongly considering a Vios. Also, assuming the used car is in good condition, would this be the kind of car that can last for 15-20 years?

Hi, anyone here has the list of service centers? I ask because my regular SC said they no more dealer for KIA and ask me go elsewhere since my car still under warranty.
I searched the KIA website but they don't have a list of service centers

Serdang one no more dealership also so I went to Setapak one.

Ya I also go the Serdang Raya one.
Setapak is damn far from me. Is it most dealers got terminated because of new distributorship (Bermaz)?

My comments redirecting you to join K3 FB group for further advice got deleted by someone for their own gain. I guess sharing resources are not appreciated here.

Any owners here experience wet carpet during these rainy season?

bro, im in the same dilemma as you, have you decided on kia cerato or vios yet?

Kia Glenmarie & JD automotive in Shah Alam. The latter is located beside KESAS.

The KIA K3 (cerato), was worth to purchase vehicle C Segment Sedan

currently looking 2018-2019 1.6 model, fast selling model on second hand car market now.

I liked new facelift , but sadly BERMAZ said KIA no more right hand drive K3...

Carsome those very fast sold out. But those 2018-2019 Kia Malaysia still honor the warranty?

you may find the car which is still under KIA Malaysia warranty, if interested to purchase, may have take the car register number to check on KIA malaysia SC still under warranty or not

Icic.. still deciding this or city or Vios.

Hi guys, I planning to get my first car, and 2015 Kia Cerato / Hyundai Elantra fit my budget, just wondering if there any good trustable sifu near Bandar Sri Permaisuri know how to check the service this car is there is problem occurs.

Hello, is anyone changed to android CarPlay unit? Mind to share which model & where u fixed?

That area maybe try K-PRO.

What budget range? Perhaps have a look at Dynavin.

Hi, what's the model of low, high beam and fog light bulbs for FL Cerato? Got the car recently but it didn't come with a user manual and Bermaz Kia refused to provide PDF version when contacted.
