first check the coolant see the color and check if it got oil or not.

wheel bearing, easy wear off.

TS not say want 1.6 or 2.0 so far.

I've been looking at 2.0 and why coolant got oil?

People pick 2nd hand K car because 2nd hand K car no value at all.

This is real reason.

get those after Jan/Feb 2011, with the 6-speed gearbox. Car is on the heavy side, so fuel consumption will not be the best. If can find a good 2.0L model, go for it.

Compared to Civic year 2011? you can buy 2 Fortes + Full Service (~27k each) vs 1 Civic (~58k).

And yes, common issues are ignition coil (RM280/unit) + alternator (1k+) + aircon compressor (2k) + absorber link (RM125/each).

Handling is above average, and very nice to drive at highway speeds. Downside, outside road noise is not dampened well.

Any thoughts about Kia cerato?
