Carlover76 Neutral Newbie July 10, 2004 Share July 10, 2004 For sound proofing, Cerato has not issue with that as they did focus a lot on sound proofing the car everywhere, this similiar sound proofing effort can be seen in other models like Spectra and Picanto and of course not forgetting the Cerato. Those who find it noisy, the sound is from the engine as the Elantra engine used is much more rough compared to the one used in Spectra which is more finer and smoother. I know most of you heard the sound is like those piston pumping type of sound as I heard that too! Whole car effort is not bad but just that because of using the Hyundai engine instead of Kia's engine which spoilt the whole show but there is pros for doing so, engine seems more responsive and powerful just like the new series of Trajet which is using the new Hyundai engine.

Genie47 1st Gear July 10, 2004 Share July 10, 2004 You should check he Autozine review of the Cerato! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannotmakeit Neutral Newbie July 10, 2004 Share July 10, 2004 Checked out autozine juz now,well,seems like foreign country reviewed it as "no one piece good" Well by looking at the cars featured in autozine,those rated "good"one are usually way out of my budget and I somehow feel that(IMO) their standard a little on the high side. I have read abt 4 reviews (local) and felt that to what we think is still ok for usage in SG,to them(foreign) seemed "no one piece good leh". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverarrow Neutral Newbie July 10, 2004 Share July 10, 2004 Er.... Autozine is run by this guy from HK. It is an enthusiast site but also with sensibilities for the masses. Sensibilities for the masses? Perhaps not. AutoZine's Mark Wan has displayed a clear bias towards cars with "sporty" characteristics, and has shown a disdain towards SUVs. But the masses clearly do not share his views, if the "boring" Corolla's strong worldwide sales figures and the growing popularity of SUVs are to be used as a gauge. Every reviewer will have his or her personal preferences. Mark Wan may not like the Cerato, but that doesn't mean the car won't appeal to other car buyers out there.

Gendut 2nd Gear July 10, 2004 Share July 10, 2004 But sometimes when your car equips with ABS, you will tends to have the tendency to rely on the ABS in a situation of accident but you just don't know when will it work or whether it is servicable as you have to maintain all these safety gadgets like airbag and ABS as the time goes by. ================================================================================ ============= Huh????? My car is equipped with brakes and I rely on it all the time. I hope it does not fail, that's why I maintain it as time goes by. It too has a steering wheel that I use to navigate all the time. I hope it does not fail, as I don't service it as time goes by. It came with four wheels. As time goes by I give it a nice service by cleaning it. And I hope they don't fall off, any time.

Genie47 1st Gear July 11, 2004 Share July 11, 2004 I know he has this biase but I always look out for the words "budget", "run of the mill" and "Point-to-point". SUVs yes, they are an eyesore. Neither here nor there. At least Lester's got a real 4X4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannotmakeit Neutral Newbie July 11, 2004 Share July 11, 2004 Now have another concern regarding the rear drum brake.I knew that most or almost all Jap model use disc brake on rear wheel,as for cerato, they are using drum brake and I think this is one of the factor which brings down the car price.My question is,will rear drum brake affect the braking efficiency and thus compromising safety,especially for a heavy car? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
