Ref to bottom of article.

 

Kia Cerato now comes with 3 yr, 75,000km warranty... no more 100,000km?

[Toyo]

it shld be sufficient for an avg driver. in the good old days it was 3 years/60,000km

If this is the case, those high users would have to re-consider getting this ride

[Toyo]

pple who clocked high mileage usually wont consider cerato as its FC is bad.

I don't think Cerato FC is bad and you all have discussed before that it all depends on the driver. It may have bad FC for the Auto version but with its weight, FC around 10-11km/litre is reasonable and if you compared to heavy weight Jap cars like Mazda 3 or Altis using VVTI engine, the best FC they can get is around 12km/litre.

 

For Cerato Manual, I am getting around 13km/litre and if you are those who play pickup then of course you will be getting around 11km/litre so it all depend on the driving style.

Sorry my altis can get 13km/l and 12+ easily with quite a bit of city driving. Rite foot factor. Just sharing.

lets not turn this into FC war. the topic is warranty mileage has been reduced.

[Keithpapa]

Noty interested to turn into a senseless war. Just sharing fact. Anyway, I am not the one who start it. case closed.

BTW, if the part is so reliable, why bother so much about the reduced warranty? Even they extend warranty says up to 140k, if one still need to go back and visit them for replacement, I will rather change car and brand.
