Hi,

Currently Im eyeing for NAZA/KIA Suria.
However, I've heard bad comments on KIA products.
So how about Suria? Can anyone comment on the quality of the car?

No prob i think, it's actually just a rebadge Kia Picanto... My sis been using her Picanto for almost 2 years now no prob whatsoever... If u maintain it properly i dont think it would give u any headaches.. Fuel FC is quite good also... By the way KIA doesnt really make bad products it all depends oh how u use it n how u maintain it plus a bit of luck ar.. I been using two KIA's already and i'm satisfied with their cars up till now..

i am using a KIA CBU car.....excellent I would say.....

NAZA is CKD.....can't really comment on this as I don't drive Naza cars........but I feel the CKD is not up to par with the CBU from the difference during test drives a few times from different branch.

Yup, i'm in luv with my KIA too.. I been using KIA CBU's also, first used the RIO 2003 version then sold it to buy my RIO 2005.... Hehehe, just love d car even though its only 1.4... My bro also sold his CBU Sportage 2001 and bought a CBU Sorento 2005... No prob also... So i dont really see whats the fuss with people saying KIA's are no good... Haihh personal preference i think...

What is the difference between CBU and CKD?

no, korean car is good, but people just scare of it's fuel comsumption and high maintenance ... by listening to others...

i never use korean car before, so no right to comment on those 2 ...

I drove my friend's picanto. The pickup, almost non existent. Bad pickup. Fuel consumption also pretty bad. So these 2 are not good, the rest maybe ok la.

I also just heard about the bad FC only ... not sure about maintanence though.

But of course, mine is heard, and not test-driven. So ... is this car really bad in FC? And I (once more) heard that it has slow pickup ... is this true?

Or with Naza, the Picanto has improved ... meaning Suria overcomes Picanto's probs?

Isn't the Suria is a bit tad too small? thats just my opinion, if your really into it then hey no one stops ya.

How is the FC of Suria compared to Wira 1.3?

hmm....looks like you are not getting the answers you needed as probably not many here drives piccanto/suria....
