Cerato 1 generation. Electric circuits Kia Cerato (I generation)

The car bought in 2010 until this all year Barozdil Internet and read reviews. In general, how many who want to buy budget auto Within 400,000, the choice was the standard Cerato entered the list of last, after it is evaluating and viewing ads on the site, the photo was very similar to. And so, we find Cerato, 2007 G.V., 1.6l. 122 hp Mileage 66 t.km. MCPP, PAP, Cond. Appearance, always on an amateur, I like it. Good clearance. Salon. Comfortable, spacious and front and rear (height 180, I sit freely), the brain (seats), but the materials are high-quality and well cleaned. Good side mirrors. In short, it's convenient. The only native rubber rugs, which are not clear, all the dirt turns out around them, that with light coverage is not very good (not yet replaced). Now I will hear some noises. The headrest near the passenger's chair threatens a bit under the ear, the front door will sometimes publish some kind of sound that it creates from front glassAnd first after all it seemed very quietly and did not creak anything. All buttons, heated, work, air conditioning showing on 5. The stove warms on 5+! Engine. 1.6 liters 122 hp I really liked, and not only me. Before buying as it should be rolled, not only me, but also comrades who are more than one year selling cars to life earn, and all this noted, a very smart engine. Subsequently, it was also very economical, in winter in the city no more than 10.5 l. Now in summer with air conditioning, no more than 9.5 liters, without air conditioning in the range of 8-8.5 l, 92 gasoline, and the weight of Cerato 1300 kg. Engine + air conditioning Dynamics worse but not critical, with manual gearbox. On the highway consumption 6.5-6.8 l to 120 km / h over 120 km / h to 7.4 liters. But after 130, it starts to make a little engine, I did not extremal but accelerated to 180 km / h and there was also a reserve. There is no complaints to the checkpoint, everything is clearly included, although in the winter at -20 and below it was not so clearly for the city is excellent. The track is not enough 6 transmission. Suspension. Moderately rigid, but the rear multi-dimensional independent, makes itself felt the control is excellent, in turning is readily and predictable. Noise isolation worse than Mercedes, wheel arches Probably without sound insulation. And now about the main and most interesting - malfunction: justice for the sake of, you need to say that I did not get the most well-kept copy, in technical condition (as it seemed) good, but the previous owner of course was not a big lover of cleanliness in the cabin, and a pair of scratches inside and with the outside, but when applying hands, all this can be done in proper condition. So, after some time after the purchase, you begin to listen, and I worried about some kind of creak-squeak, after visiting the forum, it was the idea that I did not pass the problem with a smaller, shorter replaced the clutch, went to the latter (because Finance ... ) And as soon as the opportunity appeared, I ordered s / n, I found a master .... and the next day I left the garage and barely included rear transmissionTo return to it, in short, the repair cost 4570 - the clutch set, work 4000 (first the master said 2000, but it turned out to be a very time-consuming process, all the front suspension should be disassembled, but I read about it and was ready, and + transmission synthetics 680). Now everything works do not creak and clearly turns on. No longer delivered problems. The choice of s / h is large and the cost of s / h is practically no different from s / h for domestic auto industry. There is both the original and not the original Korean production. In short, in terms of service cost, I think surprises will not deliver. That's just the financial situation with me worsened, and no matter how I had to sell it, but I really don't want 2-3 years old, I would have ride with pleasure. Well, here was another year. What can I say, the surprise she presented me all the same and should be said unpleasant. In the fall, 2011 as it should be in front of the winter, oil, oil, filters, front racks of stabilizers (when replaced, it was found that the previous ones were confused by places left with the right (these are the masters!)), Elabilizers of stabilizers front and rear, at the same time, as it should have examined all the anthers on Grenades and on the steering, on the tips everything is OK! I have already worried me with some clicks in winter, then I also looked into the garage in the garage, I didn't find anything, but after going out of the garage it became clear - grenade (external right), and before that day there were no hints, everything happened in one day , from one click, to a terrible gross. I'm going to the master - he confirms. In the evening I go to the existee I find a detail, the pomegranate is completely changed with the drive, there is no substitution, the original from 10,000 to 20,000, 17 and 4 days, respectively, ordered for 10 tr. In short, after replacing, I ask the Masters - "Ribbon Bellow?" He is "no whole." I think that for crap, I looked at myself, a whole, and only in the garage, with a thorough inspection, a crack was found in the boot long no more than 1 cm. Right near the clamp, in such a place that it is simply impossible to persuade it if it is easy to gnaw to Do not bend. In the spring, I examined the rest more carefully, it seems to be whole, I think now I just change everything, and no longer think about them. Like this. But, nevertheless, there is no complaints about the car. In winter, the frosts started calmly, he warmed well. An unpleasant moment was revealed, the "roast" time of the year creases the rubber door seals, on an uneven road. What to think about not yet decided, especially on straining, but not order. But what, I will note again, this car, spacious, comfortable salon For the driver's driver more than in focus 2 and Lancer, for passengers, too, there is a place for comfortable driving, a frisky engine, and clearance for our roads. Sustainably, the weak place is soft and the paint is weak, apparently like the Yarats have an environmentally friendly, but these minuses are now peculiar to all cars.

At the time of exitKia Cerato. 1- clad generation, brand itself,— Kia, did not differ in prestige. Then, in 2005, our people just began to perceive korean carslike something normal, not consumer goods. And it is worth saying that in the formation of the image of Kia, as a producer of good, and high-quality carsA rather significant role was played by the very first Cerato.

In development and commissioning production of Kia. Cerato 1, 220 million dollars were invested. This car was collected in the Ukrainian Lutsk, and that even more interesting:— in terms of sales, at some moment, it bypassed even such a favorite in UkraineLanos and he became the most sold foreign car in Ukraine.

Today, buy Kia Cerato 1, it is possible for 6,000$. At its price, this car is comparable to the very first focus, or from the second astro. True the latter, for the same money, will be for a couple more older.

About the appearance of Kia Cerato 1

Take a look photo Kia. Cerato 1, - Does this car looks worse than the 9th Lantser? First Cerato Produced like a sedan, and as hatchback. And the last one external species, more enhances the wagon. This views similarity from the first Mazda 3.

Basic sedan, with a 1.6l engine, and mechanical gearboxIt has a cutting mass in 1169kg. According to reviews kia owners Cerato 1, on the hood of their car, often appear rust dots caused by crushed stone blows.

In 2007, modernization was carried out over Cerato, such cars, the easiest way to know in the transparent strip, at the bottom of the lanterns.Cerato. , in more expensive performanceEX. Already from the factory, equipped with fogs.

About the cabin:

Cerato first generation, poorly showed itself onEURO NCAP.
There she scored only 3 stars, whereas in those years for golf class cars, 5 stars were already the norm. PerformanceLX , in the Cerato base, it was two, frontairbag. -And heated front seats, and adjustable steering wheel.

It is also worth noting that the 345l trunk volume, by the standards of the golf class, is really little.

Characteristics Kia Cerato 1

Initially, basic engine Kia Cerato 1, was 1.6 per 104l.s. But after Restayl, its power increased to 122 horses. The more powerful, two-liter modification, has on the front wheels, 143l. With power and 186n. M. Not bad indicators, considering not so high, compression ratio of 10.1:1.

By the way, thanks chain drive Timing motor Kia. Cerato 1.6, is significantly greater reliability than its two-liter modification.

Of course, it can be said that the same Honda, for his civilian models, removed from two liters of 150l.s, already in the late 80s, but it is worth understanding that among the owners of Kia, most drivers are calm people who are in their manner Drives are not riders.

In Europe, widespread diesel motors at 1.5 and 2.0l. With a capacity of 102 and 113l.s, respectively.

Results:

Kia Cerato 1, It is worth buying precisely from 1.6 lithing motor. Yes, with a motor 2.0 jerk, and even more so with the go, a little stronger, but such a motor is not so reliable - when the timing belt is closed,— it will be a very big head. Two-liter modification is worth buying only, with initially more attractive cost.

But if you need 2 liters, I'd rather find Honda, albeit older, but it will be completely different emotions.

This car is a sedan with a wheelbase of 2700 cm, atmospheric engine 1.6, a classic hydromechanical machine with 6 transmissions, half-dependent suspension - beam. From new technologies: electric power steering, electrophole.

From direct competitors see: toyota Corolla (beam, base 2700, but: variator), renault Fluence (beam, base 2700, but: variator), peugeot 408 (beam, base 2717, hydraulic lamps 4 stepped DP0, again there is a turbo engine with 6 st. AISIN, but not a competitor because the price is higher).

Not competitors (sharpened): Ford Focus (Tensile Salon, Robot, Vibroshum in the Salon - Although of course Shumka in the doors were clearly improved, the vibroshum would not go anywhere, the bunch of body on the waves, weak brakes), Mitsubishi Lanser (you can say the same Focus, is it what ground clearance higher, brakes are better), Mazda 3 (Ford Focus platform, the same thin, noisy, but good old hydroavtomate).

Strengths:

Hydroavomat
Smooth stroke
Spacious salon
Comfortable landing
Comfortable steering wheel
Heat in the cabin is always
Complete head unit and a set of speakers.

Excellent brakes

Weak sides:

Feedback Kia Cerato 2.0 CVVT (Kia Cerato) 2008

Good afternoon, car enthusiasts!

Auto 2008g.v., 2.0, automatic 4-speed + tiptron.

For a long time I felt the thought of buying Cheratka, after all, the view of her attractive, and acquaintances, having such cars, said that the machine is good for all qualities. Before this led the lacetti sedanchik 1.6 mechanics. For comparison, I will note, the salon from Cheraco is slightly closer than the lacente, but a little, the trunk, too, Shumka around the arms is worse (and there is no noise), heard all the sand, which flies with under the wheels, but it's not scary, I want to install the shoes, They say help. The interior is certainly quite prettier than the lacente, it looks like a car representative class. The dynamics - the beast, 143l.s., the machine works canceled, does not inspire the droplets, you want to overtake someone - pressed, immediately switches to the lower gear and went. By the way, consumption on the track in the speed range of 100-110km. (At the same time, the tachometer arrow at 110- 2.5 thousand revolutions) in a calm mode showed 6.5 - absolutely truthful, not lying. As for the city, when calm ride Gives 10-10.3. As for the running, she is all native, except for bushings of stabilizers (mileage 61000), the pits goes well, the only minus - the native front rack, a small punishment on the right, they said that they were in complete order, they have such a work of racks, and so keep, do not chat. On the track, the car obedient, does not roll, does not throw, etc. Climate without problems. Stable acoustics in normal. The main thing seemed to write, do not condemn, wrote as it is.

Review Kia 1.6l., 122l.s., 4AcPP (Kia Cerato) 2007

In early 2007 I decided to part with a three-year-old Nexia and acquire something more comfortable. Ksyuha, by the way, was quite a decent machine compared with the domestic auto industry (owned VAZ 2106 and new VAZ 2107). The only one, in my opinion, its disadvantage - long sills and low clearance (in the winter constantly clinging protection). Sold in a state close to the perfect.

Shortly before the sale began to study the Internet and press for a new car. Search criteria: up to 500t.r., not lower than golf class and like it. Like everything I looked at the tricks, meganas, etc. Mark Kia. I did not consider at all, although I also stared at the just appeared Chery Fora and Tiggo. She climbed many forums. Focusing at that time hayli their cars "what the light costs", therefore I refused it. Megan - like nothing, but prejudices like "Fff" in the end also won.

Somehow driven by and ******, I decided to look once again on Sonatu. I went to the salon, "passed", moved towards the exit and was caught off by the surprise suddenly arose before me by the manager. I still succumbed to his persuasion to pay attention to the car with an indecent name of Serato. We went around ten for about ten minutes, then as much as inside. He told me story Kia., models, etc. Machine in principle liked (it was still a dorestayling version). The houses have already been targeted in the Internet. The Cerato Forum met exceptional goodwill and love for his cars. According to reviews it turned out - this is what is needed.

Feedback Kia Cerato, 1,6,122 hp ACP (Kia Cerato) 2007

I would like to tell a little about my car. Especially this is my first foreign car. Prior to that, traveled exclusively on the vases (8 years old). Yes, and those who are going to buy a similar car or already owns such, it will be not sensitive to read. So, everything is in order. Saying in February of this year "Dozen" (this is generally a separate sad story), got a choice that it is not more expensive than 400,000 rubles. Naturally, a used foreign car, AKP, sedan, is desirable not Moscow, no older than 3-4 years old, "left-handed", well, all sorts there ABC and so on. About painfulness of choice and searches suitable auto, monthly telepanic coating in Moscow and the area (inspection of cars) will not tell me for a long time and, probably, uninteresting.

Appearance.The machine looks outside quite rich. Not as an example of her classmates (Lacetti, 9 Lancer). Personally, I like it very much, although I understand that this is in the old body. LCP is very weak! Somehow drove from Voronezh at night. M4 deserted track, there is practically no one. And here on my misfortune at a speed of 140 km / h I fly to a flock of some huge beetles that crossed or flewing the track. Not only was the whole car from the outside, so still on the hood and the front left wing - 3 fresh chips (fortunately, not to the metal)!

From the moment of writing the first review, there was no particularly much time, so I will be brief.

After the summer, 2010, outstanding pretty hot, it is possible to evaluate climate control work on a solid five. The set temperature in the cabin is maintained normally, while the fan operates on medium circulation, on the country speeds (climate in AUTO mode), the air fence occurs from the street, in the city with free movement mixed, when low speeds - Recycling. The difference with the temperature outside to the twelve degrees (no longer tried), the experiment was carried out for the sake of measurement using a room thermometer that did not in any way with the car.

With the onset of cool weather, the car will be transferred. The diagnosis of chassis was combined with this event. As a result, it was found that the front set of the front brake shoes and pretty great degree Farm wear brake discs. More servicemen alert anything (work was carried out on a specialized service, but not at the "official").

IN winter Confidently trimming allows TCS.

Negative - in the cold season, a knock in the suspension appears, caused, apparently, the design of the racks. Than stronger frost, the louder knock, when + temperatures disappears. The first winter was nervous, I got used to the second. At the official service, they were offered to change the racks (for free), but the guarantees for the elimination of the knock were not given - I decided not to bother.

Review Kia 1.6 L - 122 hp (Kia Cerato) 2007

I went to this car only on our car industry. The last was new Vaz 2114, on which I drove exactly a year and 35000km. Did not do anything.But in order to increase its importance, I have long wanted a foreign car and was focused on the focus 2+. But messenger queues, and I am with uncle I'm going to the next city, where he could bring a friend in February 2008. Focus 2+. But at the same time being a deputy. The director of the dealer Ford popularly explained that for that kind of money you can take something else, but not Ford and rubbed the joke: as they say in Europe, - if Gypsy burns - the gold teeth and the keys from Ford will remain (big expensive cheap), this is the opinion of anyone I do not impose, because He himself did not go on these machines.

I did not argue and began to painfully choose what typewriter to buy me. After a month of torture bent to Serato, firstly, a dealer in our city, secondly, the carD. class, and good reviews of my two acquaintances.Came to the dealer, chose a complete set and color, wanted a light, but not white, mechanics, because The machine is stupid and not only on these machines, but also at all, who has less than 150 hp, besides climate control, for which separate thanks. Hit the hands and on the road.When leaving the cabin, I understood immediately that the typewriter with the ABS should be studded tires, otherwise I will ride as a kettle, did not say money, I bought Nokian HP-5.

The first sensations - I was delighted: the dynamics of super, the brakes and the system of course stability is one joy.Driving 1500 km, the fuse of the cigarette lighter burned down, but he left the 3-year-old son in the cabin himself, and he smoked on the street himself, he studied the system there, pressing his finger and did not let go until I got into the car. Changed quickly, though 240 rubles for checking electronics were called. To 2500 km appeared bugs in the front of the panel (the benefit himself sick his domestic carsThe experience was), bought the door seal on the VAZ 2110 and constructed it between the windshield and the panel - the beetle, and the sealing is not visible as if it should be. In the summer, when condo works at a maximum, 20-30 horses disappear somewhere, but as soon as the salon is cooled and the condo works at 20-30% - the horses return to the tabun of the engine. Starting in the winter no complaints did not cause anything I am glad, but I had to start after the night and -30c.

Review Kia 1.6 122l.s. Meh.CPP Set Sports (Kia Cerato) 2007

Understanding all social responsibility to the possible potential owners of this brand of car, I want to tell about my car, reflecting all the positive negative moments of possession of this car. So about everything in order!

Part 1. Choosing a car.

The options for the budget in 500-550 TR for the fall of 2007 were the following: Ford Focus, Mitsubishi Lancer, Honda Sivik, Mazda 3 (Sedan) and just that Nissan Tiida. Focus and Honda disappeared due to waiting queues, and the fact that they were available in the presence were much more expensive than the budget, Lancer walked due to the coming upgrade, Mazda 3 because of the cramped on rear seat (I checked all the cars sitting on myself, my height is 188 cm). Only the option of Nissan and Kia were seriously considered and in this dispute won rationality, in principle, both options are not bad, but Nissan was with an engine of 1.6 liters and dynamics 12 seconds to 100 km / h Pota 555 tr., And KIA C 1, 6 liters and dynamics of 10 seconds to 100 km / h in 515 tr. Sports complete set with full email sports kit, climate control IT.D. And in the body of the sedan (the beauty of the hatchbacks did not choose me, I wanted the classics, and the sedan from Tiid was not available and it looked like somehow). In general, it was decided to take Cerato, and to accommodate CASCO, OSAGO and the formulation of the multimedia center to the difference in the price, the benefit of the lack of a header in KIA was allowed.

I worked earlier in AV tomobile firms (sale, service), so when I chose the last having an idea of \u200b\u200bAV tomobiles, their operation, problems and cost I had to break your head - what can be obtained for your "up to $ 20 thousand".

Options were: Lancer 9th, Lacetti, Astra Classic, Aktavia Tour, Fabia.

Lancer 9th is expensive and modest (then, equipment);
Lacetti - American consumer industry (embarrassed that this brainchild General Motors), besides, heard about problems with the rail, galvanovka only under the arches and then on the one hand, although at the beginning he considered as a purchase candidate;
Astra Classic - too classic and equipment is weak;
Skoda - Nesofolkswagen only worse and cheaper and in general is also expensive (especially unnecessarily expensive then).

Cerato accidentally drew attention to when he looked through all the salons that came across (except Chinese and Soviet). At the time of purchase, I have not worked not in one of them, especially I bought a car from competitors)).

I read reviews as well - not very much they were about russian assemblyBut they do not enter our market. At first it was a practical choice, the ratio of price-quality-equipment, but when I got acquainted closer I was pleasantly surprised by the dynamics and side qualitieswhich at the level of a completely different price category, because I have a rich ride experience and on the cheapest and on very expensive and fast I was with what to compare with, but I thought that I had no money for this pleasure.

With its 1.6 gives 122 hp And still multi-list rear suspension Together with ABS + EBD makes it possible to feel confident at speeds - the car goes like a key. The car is listening to you, and this is nice. The only thing you remember when turning turns on high speeds that it is still a sedan who has a rear Sve.

Strengths:
