Tookar is offering a 1.2k rebate for all Vios models. Might as well go for the City E. But Cerato 1.6 is value for money, at around 88k.

Korean principal technical trainer at mutiara d'sara said Honda City is best b-segment wor.. Why buy cerato when can buy city?

Why buy Cerato over City? Why not? C-Segment vs B-Segment. Solid all around, value for money, and more gadgets. Better safety specs as well.

Korean cutting price of C segment to fight Japanese B segment is not value for money but serious failure. Cerato 1.6 was priced rm102k originally during raptor's era. So was the elantra 1.6 at rm92-99k. The bigger 1.8 elantra at rm112k while cerato 2.0 at rm120k challenging civic and altis head on yet managed to sell.

After raptor's gone, price throwing, poor sales began now end up fighting B segment. Sonata d segment now rm9xk fighting civic. Tucson also fighting smaller hrv instead of crv. Clear sign that korean cars creeping back to dark 2006 era fighting Japanese lower level categories

Lol you should keep up with the times. Didn't know cutting price or giving discount to clear stock and make way for a FL version to be launched is a serious failure. Toyota was doing the same thing with their unsold Vios' since early this year. And pre-FL Vios owners RV is going to hurt.

And ffs, what the fu*k is RAPTOR? Could you care to explain before continuing your vengeful revenge on Korean made cars?

Kia cerato - C segment car with B segment price, solid safety features with lots of gadgets as well, esp they are clearing stock now for the FL version. RV wise not much diff compared to Japanese car unlike last time.

If your prefer Japanese car, then go for City then. Just it's NVH below expectation.

Is better to test drive each of them before making decision, as diff ppl have diff preference

What I think not your problem but it caused serious sales drop in korean car sales, not your problem coz you still get paid. Car owners suffer over weakened RV in chain.reaction followed by less spare parts. Most marketing staff like you never bothered all these,  so why should public buy cars that principals and distributors don't bother to do well and care for future of owners? No.wonder all go back to japanese cars now. Thanks for your clarification mr marketing staff. Another contribution to Japanese victory in progress.

All goes back to Japanese? LoL...

Again and again with your no spare parts. Somehow I'm able to buy SonataYF side mirror led strip to exchange mine that was broken when I accidentally swiped it against a lorry. If you go to Japanese, sorry, we sold it as complete setup. LOL... I fixed mine for RM80 while Japanese car owners looking at 600-1k++.

I had an uncle that has been driving a Sonata since pre YF and he still bought one to drive. Why didn't he buy Japanese? Most people that I knew that bought Koreans never turn back. Why do you want to buy tin kosong when you can buy something better cheaper?

Koreans car problem lies with NAZA, not you.

Sounds like another strategies stolen from Raptor when his company fleet cars using Sonata NF. Your uncle, your company lar....

Go check how many ex-Sonata YF users now driving back Japanese cars. When I got good income in future and Korean cars still hopeless, I too would sell my Forte and buy Mazda 3. FYI, Raptor that once owned Santa Fe & Forte already bought his old time favourite classic conti for pleasure drive  & Japanese car for everyday drive.

SO side mirror also want to compare,,, thumbup.gif People compare big things you go and compare tiny stuff.

You don't point finger just at Nasa. Why not look at your company products failure first:
Sonata LF
Tucson
i30
i40
Veloster

For existing that are failing in sales, Elantra, Santa Fe. You go nothing's left. They all failed because of lousy planning, marketing and unqualified brains holding important positions like that fatty trainer responsible for training all sales & strategies personnel. That is main cause and reason why people don't buy Korean cars nowadays.

Best way to prove to you that public mentality including young people, they are all very penny wise nowadays when comes to buying cars out of necessities, no more for fun due to current economy. Go check roadshows, you notice people don't bother to check your Korean cars at few major shopping malls like 1U, Sunway Pyramid, MidValley, etc.

Check morale of all Hwontai staff now, sales people suffer from very poor sales or taking home just basic. Other staff, little or no bonus, increment. Blame idiots like that fatty and Korean principal appointed ignorants for shunning ace strategists like me away twice and distributors 3x. They be chor yat then I be 15 lor. Now they feel the pinch. Stop using raptor's or my strategies.

Haha... did you read the thread title? Cars compared is a Kia Cerato. So it did have something to do with Naza. Hyundai cars are under Sime Darby. You don't know that and claim to be offering advise to koreans?

Why Naza suffer bad sales? They are greedy. I walked into few showroom in KL, and only 2.5k discount. I went online and the discount went from 2.5k to 7.5k. Why is such big discrepancy? Hence it's already well known that if you're buying Koreans, you need to deal with authorized sales center outside of Klang Valley, instead of Naza operated chain in Klang Valley. This alone is one of the factor that contributed to the poor sales.

In fact in Malaysia, I would rate Kia above Hyundai when it comes to after sales services because they really have some decent authorized service center. Service center operated by Naza is really poor in comparison. Hyundai on the other hand have really poor authorized sc and the one in Glenmarie is so so.

Agreed. Go to Cerato for handling, safety and cabin space. For RV and fuel savings, go to City. VIOS is too cramped especially at the back seat. Handling and NVH wise, so so only for both VIOS and City.

cerato package is good, but lacking refinement, handling, etc

No need to think la Cerato. Interior quality and space win.

However City V spec is good too. Vios interior is dull and cheap.

Why not top up a little and go for HRV or Mazda 3?

Can consider the Elantra also. Now going below 80k for a great looking C segment. Exterior is sexy and sporty

Kia Cerato, far superior, a global car, Honda city was made for third world countries and is overhyped / overpriced in Malaysia.

You don't know how to read, don't change the subject. Cerato already thrown enough rebate. Hwontai can get production cost lower. Both can't sell right now. You can get friends to back you up saying cerato good value for money but in reality, the customers end up buying Japanese cars. Result speaks, not your comment. Japanese cars today come with quality, you can't fight, can take kite flight
*
I don't need my friends to back me. They are free to choose whatever they want to buy. If they are comfortable to buy overpriced japanese shit, I don't hold a grudge. In fact my mom a strong japanese brand supporter.

Quality? No, Japanese cars had been declining in quality. Sad fact. They are not what they used to be. This is what allowed the Koreans to catch up.
