Ditto on this. If can I'll want the cbu k5. Apparently our kia ceratos are cbu units hence the good quality

For KIA and Hyundai not much difference whether CBU or CKD as the knock-down level is minimal. Assembly process is also minimal due to minimal knock-down. However, there will be some trim level differences due to CBU and CKD having different specifications like the player screen. KIA & Hyundai low volume sales so cannot do extensive knock-down like Toyota & Honda. For example many parts for Toyota are sourced locally or from Indo/Thai. Quality so-so only. KIA/Hyundai most parts are made in Korea to the same specs as the cars sold in Korea and globally.

Vios and City are good examples of cars designed for 3rd world countries. The parts are all sourced from the 3rd world also (MY/ID/TH) to meet 3rd world safety standards (AseanShitCAP) and quality level. Not comparable to cars made for developed countries with stringent safety requirements like EURO NCAP. But Malaysians only care about RV, mati tak apa asalkan tak rugi.

That was many years ago, I don't have the link anymore, I purchased it through ezbuy last time and I think my purchase history are all gone now.

But here's the link to other seller in Taobao: https://world.taobao.com/item/522581274179.htm?

Hope you can read chinese.

Korean cars mostly based on outdated Japanese tech from 1-2 generations ago. So, reliability is better than European marques.

Yes, I have a cerato. Mine shows 7 litre per 100km, mostly highway driving. City driving will be around 10 litre per 100km.

What was your purchase price at the beginning and selling price when you disposed it?

Sorry bro, can't remember after so many years. Bought, if not mistaken <100K, new. Selling price, frankly, can't recall.

Planning to sell off my 2018 honda jazz for 2013/14 cerato to reduce my monthly commitment. not sure is a good choice or not despite it is an upgrade compare to Jazz. FC is my concern only as im an ex owner of 2013 Forte 1.6 and quite regret for selling it for Jazz and ingat the maintenance fees will be cheaper in Honda SC! My Jazz service cost is sometime higher than Forte in SC.
