you need to make sure the car is locked.
You cannot test it straight away after locking the car. Need to be away for sometime.

In case you are not aware, the Smart Trunk only work if your car is locked. If you car is unlocked (although all door still close)...the Smart Trunk will not work.

Not always, it depends on the body color of your car. For temptation red, the sensors are black.

I wonder why the sensor is black on temptation red?

I see. I thought the car has been into accident or sensor has been replaced when saw black sensor on red cerato.

Been driving wifey's FL cerato 1.6.. hauled up full passengers with boot full of luggages. surprisingly, the 1.6 engine feels more energetic than the number suggests.. eager to be revved. love the responsive gearbox. nvh is good but tire noise is a bit high (maybe due to the conti MC5 tires?). wind noise is kept very low when driving at high speed which is very good. engine noise is no problem and sounds quite good when revved. ride is supple but geared to be on the stiffer side (probably due to the low profile tires). handling is quite ok to be honest with not so much bodyroll. steering is ok as it feels heavier when speed increases. though a bit more weight wouldn't hurt. fuel consumption is very good too.

spec wise is very good for the price. my only gripe is it doesn't come with automatic wipers. interior quality is good but i feel the design is not aligned with the rest of the models. maybe the next cerato will be better.

i used to own jap cars before this. took the plunge and bought the kimchi for once. will i buy another kia after this? yes. they seem to get better and better.

I'm very surprise you said cerato ride was stiff. Maybe it feel stiff if pass over the pothole due to low profile tyre, but the suspension undulation is super soft for me. The car totally tuned for comfort which is good for passenger and for driver who like the comfort ride.

But the cons is the rear arch look sag if fully loaded with passenger and can feel the rear suspension reach the limit after pass through speedbump. Also really need to slow on the speedbump else will hit the undercarriage after the front tyre.

I even experimenting 15' rim paired high profile tyre 195/65 because i wanted the car to be more comfortable when fetching people. The result, comfort level was superb like sylphy and altis ride. I like it for daily drive. I did that because cerato is comfort car then why not i make it more comfortable since the handling also feel sampan even with 17 inch rims.

Yes, it feels stiff when going over bumps due to the low profile tayar. But ride is supple. Maybe profile of 55 will suit better but i like the look of 17 on this car especially with the FL rims.

Tyre alignment is included in the warranty and indicated as valid up to 1000 km in the service booklet. But all service centers will assist you to the alignment during the first service, if you highlight this problem, that is car pulling to one side while driving.

Didn't know that it was included... anyway, when I called SC for appointment, they said tyre service included, even though I had no issue... and FOC for first one.

Hi all,

Just want to check with all of 1.6 K3 drivers, do you have the problem of vibration when idle at traffic light or jam? (Gear in D and feet on brake) Felt that it is vibrating more and more over time (2014 car). However, mentioned everytime during scheduled service and just brushed off with its normal and resetted ECU. (KL/PJ area)

Just wanted any opinion or experience from any driver facing this issue and got it solved?

Thanks!

Never had this issue so far... possible culprits are engine mounting or dirty fuel sensor. Maybe you get an independent workshop to check the engine mounting.

Just collected my (wife's) Cerato 2.0, bought during the Raya promo period. I have to agree that the ride is very pliant, but in a good way. The ride is really comfy, much better than my Forte 1.6.

Welcome to the 2.0 club! What colour did you get? I agree with Forte comparisons... the Cerato seems to soak up bumps without letting you know much about it!
