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..

How much u change that clock spring ??

When u say handling is not that good is lack of power or the car couldn't corner well or is it floaty ??

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

Felt a lil bit floaty, but not very noticeable..

No understeer/oversteer ?

When u turn your car into corner, u feel car move together.
Some car when u point steering in that direction, the car doesn't follow 100%
