Can kia 2.0 owner commend about the fuel consumption?

Not sure wanna get 1.6 or 2.0. Difference is 14k for them.

I am low usage owner. My current saga only 4xk milage over 5.5 years.
*
wah so low mileage..my cerato only 15 months old sudah 65,000km biggrin.gif
if not travelling a lot then i think get the 1.6
u save on monthly installment,insurance,cheaper roadtax,and maybe slightly better fuel consumption
but you will lose on the power, if you are a spirited driver
since i travel a lot i wish i take the 2.0, but cannot commit lo

Start using Kia Cerato
- March 2015 until now

Current Mileage
- 110,000km

What I like
- Design cun - put bodykit is a must
- tail light very cun - always a headturner
- soft touch material on the dash and doorcard
- keyless entry with push start
- puddle lamp
- paddle shifter
- huge entertainment screen with bluetooth
- glovebox with aircon
- front parking sensor
- auto headlamp
- 2x 12v socket
- autochromic rear view mirror
- safety windows
- rear aircond vent
- foldable rear seat
- electric seat with memory (very important)
- easy access seat
- full size spare tyre
- almost flat rear floor
- quiet engine
- smooth gearbox

What I don't like
- NVH so-so
- interior design so-so
- steering feels very numb
- conventional handbrake
- too much body roll
- power not very good (1.6) gearing kinda short

What I wish
- electronic parking brake (so the centre console looks cleaner)
- auto wiper
- blind spot monitoring

Will i sell it?
- not for now. Not sure if im going to, ever, since the car is so packed with convenience and safety features at such a good price

Should you buy it?
Yes! Definitely! But if you are looking for a car with gooood power and handling, you gonna need to consider other options.

Tq for sharing..

the most i concern is engine & gearbox issue...
how their performance??

got read all post/ forum kia cerato thread in here..
but hard to find customer complaint on this issue..

either no problem or good kia marketing in LYN to cover up...
agreed with you on int design..look need more fresh & exclusive design on IP and floor console area..
other dilemma..
buy 2nd because lower RSV
but poor engine / performance

or buy frst but worry to sell less than 5 yrs..(confirm rugi)
*
Engine & gearbox is working fine, just follow normal servicr schedule. If anything happens can always claim to Kia since engine n gearbox have 5 years warranty. Even i saw 1 of the members already clocked 200,000km last year without any problem.

Honestly i think the engine n gearbox is good, quiet enough and responsive and also reliable. Not sure why owners dont make a hoo-haa about this, will definitely opens up the eyes of other people who bash Kia.

If you can afford to buy new, better go for new car
5 years warranty and you know every single thing about the car
RV is a drawback for any Kia car i think, but i think you will enjoy this car for quite some time unless you decided to upgrade to Conti laugh.gif

Hi. I'm driving the pre-facelift KX. I wonder if it's possible to update the software to have that MirrorLink for Android function since the facelift uses the same MMI? Thanks in advance.

PS: I'm curious about these two links too for updating. Are we able to do it ourselves? Or are they even applicable for our models?

You can MirrorLink with stock HU, guide as in this video

Question: I've changed batteries 3 times in 3 years. Battery recently went flat as well. Is the Cerato (1.6L) battery that bad?

Also has anyone traded in a Kia for another Kia? Does Naza Kia give better trade-in value?
*
Mine is on 3rd battery too. The stock Watta battery only lasted 17,000km.. really lousy..claim warranty and they replace with Watta too..but last quite long until 56,000km.. now i changed to Century.. still going strong (now 115,000km, car is 2 years old)

Guys, I am considering to buy yaris full spec at 83888.
But saw carlist have some selling cerato new 1.6 at 83k...

Considering a few factors such as
Reliability
Resale value
Based on the two factor which will be a better buy yeah? And I know both cars are in a different segment, but just need some input
Ps: bootspace is not a concern, and will be hardly used as a 'outstation' car

Thanks alot
*
Reliability - Both cars are reliable
Resale Value - might be Yaris since it's a Toyota
