long gone are those days were kia is considered least durable car... those who say otherwise are probably not owners or live in the past (where kia spectre era)...

after owning cerato for 5+ years, only claimed once power window button not smooth... other than that, just normal service and wear and tear...

just get the car you like... if you care about RV, like someone said, better dont get car... unfortunately Msian still have that mentality where jap > all... thus kimchi car RV and sales still bad in Msia...

U dont tipu, baru 1 week buy new, CEL keluar. O2 sensor rosak.

Almost 2 years now, issue free. For 86k, other than that stupid frustrating cheap china head unit, really worth it.

I compare it because the price is cheaper than full spec city and vios ma

if compare with B segment just get Cerato. it is C segment space and comfort level is different.
if compare with other C segment, take Cerato if you are on budget. value for money.

But i don't like Cerato interior. Too roundish. Topup abit get Elantra

And Kinchi car resale value not that good but also not that bad. Same like Proton. Is not anywhere near as worse as VW. Check my thread

How's the car now?
Cuz now kia having promo, after rebate for 1.6 sx the price is 83k

Incomparison with city/vios/yaris full spec, cerato is cheaper, and its on a higher segment...

Any thoughts?

Driving a 2015 Cerato K3 1.6, clocked 150,000km this month
Definitely a value-for-money car, if compared to other rivals.. C-Segment car with B-segment pricing.

What I like:
- design. for each his own but 8 out 10 people i asked agreed the car looks good
- lots of features, future proof for at least another few years
- lots of safety features. 6 airbags, ESC, EBD and so on. How I wish it has Blind Spot monitoring too
- Comfortable

What I dun really like:
- not the best handling car. after all this is marketed as a family sedan so....
- 1.6 feels a lil bit sluggish. can go for 2.0 for more umpphhh but roadtax will be higher (RM280/ year vs RM90/year for 1.6)

Common problems:
- battery not really tahan. changed mine 4x times already. Naza gave lousy battery last time
- clock spring problem, usually can claim so no problem about it
- people asking "why buy Kia? why no buy Godcar? Later no spare parts, no amoi, besi buruk RV etc"

If you live in big cities like KL/PG/JB should be no problem for service centre and parts availability.. if in rural area maybe a bit of a problem.. anyhow it is a good buy provided you are looking for a comfortable sedan for daily use and not for spirited driving..

Haven't changed yet as it just happened recently. Doesn't affect driving at all only some buttons on the steering is not responding.. need to find time to send to SC

Lousy drive, underpowered, suck fuel.

You need 2.0 at least for Cerato.
