Hi owners, please share your experience on the battery die off issue. I have seen a lot members here reporting that the battery died off within 1 year. Is it only happen once for the 1st year, or it will cont' to die off every year.
I will be placing booking these few days, but I am concern about this issue. If this is ongoing issue probably i will skip this and go for city V spec.

No, when the key is removed away from the car, the engine will not turn off by itself. However, the car will give a warning "ting-ting" chime to alert the driver than the key is no longer in the car.
This is not an issue with the car, it is more of the battery itself. If the battery is no longer working within 1 year or 20,000 km (whichever occur first), you can claim warranty for it, otherwise you need to get a new one and it should cost about RM300 plus only.

If you replace it with a reasonable good battery and depending on usage, it should last around 2 years or more. Hope this battery issue does not affect your consideration in choosing the right car.

When talking about car battery, I will think of Century, Bosch and Panasonic. Can you suggest which brand/model work best with Cerato. I will be happy enof if the battery can last for 2 years+-.
