It seems like I’m having the same problem with you, car vibrating all the way.
I noticed the car tyre also made in year 2007 and my car is registered in June 2009.

I went to service centre and doing tyre balancing and allignment already but the problem is still there.

By the way, it is Spectra5 also.

on 3/7/09 at 10.30am took the car to kia service centre setapak they took 2hrs to do alignment but still same problem while driving vibrating at 80km speed
turn back again to kia service centre they ask me go to shah alam glenmarie silverstone dealer to check the tyre…
the personal told me they can replace because it is 2007 tyre….i surprised bcoz in JPJ grand made year is 2009 and registerd on 2/7/09
how this could happened….. where is PDI inspection…this all due to
“Tidak Apa Attitude ”

please dont spoilt the name of naza kia bussiness…all cars fr naza are good car but human being failed to do their duty as assign or dedicate to them

naza people who read this msg please speed up my request to replace new tyre

tq

gud to have your feedback…
thx..cheers..

i just spoke 2 d salesman.
wanna get novus spec but they dunno when is d nx stock comin.

according to them (salesmen), spectra5 is imported n ‘under-declared” to get lower tax.
but i survey online, for msia market, spectra5 consist of 43-45% of local content.
according 2 foreign review (in US mostly), this car received a good review..

im gettin one…….

and CBT have a report that its journalist were invited to somewhere in Europe to “review” Cerato! but its a diesel there!

the same with Mazda, is it?

I got this terrible thought upon Korean cars. I am sorry. It is so bad that given the choice of a Proton or a Spectra, i would rather go for Proton.

I am hoping the new Kia generation of admin produce something that can make me give away my terrible feeling on those cars.

Out of topic. Last night 7 Edition show Chaku’s Ah Beng’s Persona on its montage for the news Proton might build a plant at Egypt.

Chaku’s going nationwide…. more people can see his works yesterday… good for him

Kia cars in general are not headturners but nevertheless most of them are nice to look at. Nothing too radical or too boring IMHO.

I have seen the car boot of the hatch in a road show and i was amazed by the boot size. The boot size is pretty big despite it’s a hatch. Its nothing like the Satria or equivalent.

I hope they will be selling this with the new engine. The Cerato has gone thur a minor facelift here and the newer version has a different engine that is pretty fuel efficient. Some car forum members claim it can match Altis 1.6 fuel efficiency.

Technically, unlike Proton, other manufacturers cars have already been launched somewhere else in the world before finding its way to our shores. By the time it gets here, everyone already knows how the car looks like thanks to the internet. But of course, before they were launched, they were also all taped up and disguised while undergoing their trials and testing periods. All manufacturers do that. As for Proton, Malaysia is its homebase. All its cars are built and designed here, and no one else in the world has seen the cars yet, so it makes sense for them to disguise the car during testing on public roads.

as for this kia, for some strange reason, station wagons in Malaysia have never really proved popular in recent times.. probably thanks to the pickups, SUV’s and MPV’s.
