Camrysfa Turbocharged August 29, 2018 Share August 29, 2018 I have been looking at the body of the new Cerato in the brochure. Is it great looking. Will its appeal be lasting. Does the interior of this model win by alot over the previous model? If not I would prefer a car with an updated engine. The new Cerato is treating the car like art by placing the rear signal on the bumper. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Cerato is treating the car like art by placing the rear signal on the bumper. The inside is pretty good, one of the best in the segment I feel. Coming from a guy who buy new car with one of the main priority is interior layout, design, materials and creature comforts.. after all interior is where we spend most of the time one. I find the steering wheel oddly designed though. Then again, one man's meat is another poison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only felt it was skinny. But then I am driving one with a add on steering cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybridcar 3rd Gear August 29, 2018 Share August 29, 2018 (edited) 1 things that I wish for is that sports rim on 17-inch.. would have been nicer if it is single tone sports rim...

Cos still in the midst of making decision between these 2Didn't go so far.Wife fail Altis gear-shift design. My Honda stream is straight up & down. She ok elantra gear shift but fail interior material. She says disappointing. She like k3 SX instead of L. My point? Can list down all the technical or features differences, a woman sees things differently. Shiok or no shiok. Same apply to teenagers opinion on car. Since all use car & wife needs to drive sometimes. No choice. If it is going to be a family decision, best you decide what you want and bring them there. Try not to let them see too many other brand of cars. That's why I said when k Kia put all 3 cars together at level 2 in Alexandra before launch, "L" looks empty without cool features. Who want to choose "L" if arrange like that...

Personally prefer elantra interior cos do not like the tablet-like console. Feel like is not build in one piece.

teomingern 6th Gear August 29, 2018 Share August 29, 2018 I never compare by calculating how much at the pump. But based on the estimated FC by the onboard computer, when i drive on the highway in non peak hour traffic. the 2L is probably as efficient. But within intra-estate or doing school run, definitely the 1.6L wins. Traffic jam should also 1.6L win. confirm. My car is also 1530kg lah. another 200kg on top of the elantra. But i don't really care about FC since i don't drive long distances. But if i tell my friends then they confirm won't like the korean. Cos 15km/L on a vezel is normal. And my friend's freed hybrid can reach 18-20 easy. I see... my Sonata is 1.45 tonnes... not far from yours... same same... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
