I'm interested to trade-in my Polo Sedan 1.6 for pre-facelift used k3 cerato 2.0.. I would like to know:
1. Is the car problematic? Any common defect such as steering rack issue on Forte 2.0? 2. Is 2.0 also affected with idle engine vibration? 3. How's fuel consumption? Able to reach 11km/litre on city driving or not? Thanks. |

QUOTE(lauyah @ Nov 28 2017, 02:38 PM) I too was very eager to get one myself. Was in the FB group for few months. Steering knocking noise is the most I fear and hope to not encountering on a relatively new car. But seems nowadays every car on the road suffer that. From vellfire, Altis, to new proton saga, very often i'm seeing this issue and I hope to avoid on my new ride.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.  |

QUOTE(lauyah @ Nov 28 2017, 09:05 PM) 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. how long for battery replacement? my vw waited 1 week during merdeka holiday as vw refused to swap for me when onsite assists came, and need to tow to SC after long holiday, leave car 1 night for them to perform old battery charging for confirmed dead only replace new under warranty for me.So to me at least, getting a second hand is better bargain where I dont have to rely on KIA bad SC. |

No problem using 5W30, just drove my Cerato 2.0 2014 to Genting ytd. Current oil was Castrol Magnatec 5W30 which already done twice went KL<>Penang and Genting trip, no visible oil loss at all, great engine.
