Need advice.
Planning to get a 2nd hand Cerato(2014), either 1.6 or 2.0. But not sure which variant to get.
I read that people tend to comment 'if you want to get Cerato, better get 2.0 one'. Wonder why is that. And how much of a different for the FC between this two, and what the average FC for the 2 variants anyway for city driving? I am not too concern if its not as bad as a Wira.
Btw, is there any difference for the years 2014 and 2015? I notice there are 2 different HU, one is bigger and the other is smaller, whats the different?
And lastly, what should I be mindful of when checking on the 2nd hand car? And whats the common issue/problem with the model?

Thanks.

do update on pros n cons of yr ride. How's the fc since its 2.0?

I'm too planning to get a second hand 2.0. yours is new one?

planning to get a second hand 2.0. just wondering if there's any differences between the version with smaller HU display and the bigger one? i mean beside the HU display, what else is different?

and is there any reason to get 1.6 rather than 2.0?

2.0 or 1.6?

I too was very eager to get one myself. Was in the FB group for few months.
Typical complain, weak battery and steering knocking sound and sometimes fuel cover cannot open.
Apart from that, there are few different issue with the car which doesnt make your car undrivable.
New or second hand, very much depends on luck. There a new post bout getting a lemon unit, which has to replace some parts and have to wait for long time.
So yeah, their SC suck. Probly not wise to get a new one for that reason.

yeah.. cerato considered good compare to other made. very solid. but the SC really need a lot of improvement. Telling other to wait long long for a battery replacement is really stupid.
So to me at least, getting a second hand is better bargain where I dont have to rely on KIA bad SC.

according to the FB post, SC told the owner that he have to wait a bit longer, no time frame given. Cant imagine that SC do not have extra battery in their stock, but of coz they do, they just do not want to do it.
however, from the FB group, each SC has different policy. Some are much better than other. Its as if there are no common policy and they do whatever that can generate more profit for them. So forget bout after sales service.
With that in mind, second hand one is better choice as it save you from the frustration of having to deal with their SC.

thats why its so inefficient and lack of commitment from KIA itself to keep customer happy..
that's why its best to get second hand car, so dont have to deal with their SC.
