It's usually 15-21% oh well...low hp cars beat up

Does the cerato allow you to disable traction control? For the dyno that is.

Also the cerato is using a cvt?

Yup you can disable traction control. All except the ABS will turn off. I dynoed at just around 98whp by Audi in January with my 2014 Cerato.

6fwd auto tranny with paddle shifters. Non CVT!

OP check the Kia cerato thread in the Other section. I did a write up on the car from an owner's perspective.

Here I thought people bought econobox to go to work and grocery etc while spending little on gas and consumables.

Didn't realise it had so much fyaaz deliberation involved.

Your troll standards real dropping. I used to look forward to your posts. What happened?

[pioneer]

Was posting from maracas sorry, made it in record time too.

[idlemind]

So wait...the 2014 Mazda 3 doing what 70-75whp???

Really?!
Welcome to 1999.

[Advent]

will keep my sr20

[jsm1985]

Yeah, what is the whp of Mazda3?

I don't need sports car performance , just need to know that the Mazda 3 isn't a lemon on the highway. I realised it's using the old 1.6 liter engine and not any of the newer Sky active ones.

[S_2NR]

I would get neither because southern sales.

[pioneer]

LOL@ "lemon on the highway"

Plenty gee ITT

Test drove mazda 3, very nice drive and suspension. Feels like a class above the segment.

[MG Man]

Saw a new model cerato do less than 95whp on the dyno

Which makes sense yeah?

Yup that's normal drive train loss. No way it can put more than 100hp to the wheels

you cannot be serious. My dead horse car is a factory 117 at the flywheel (factory figure) and turned 94 on the dyne......I test drove a Cerato this weekend and was shocked at how dreadfully terrible the acceleration was :-/ On paper, 0-60 in 11.3 or thereabouts? My 1974 MG with 90 asthmatic horses did it in 12.5, so a second up from a deadass old car? Bleh
Right now, the choice is between the new Corolla and the Focus...I love the dash on the corolla, but people nowadays seem to love busy sculpted angles and odd centre consoles, so I can see why some folks think it's plain. The focus is smaller inside, but oh my the handling!

So when gon be de cerato/elantra/Mazda3 jags?

I dunno why yall think I'm impressed with the Koreans performance. I know they're slow.

[pioneer]

So what do people do with their cerato/elantra after 5+ years?

Park it hard?

No one's figured that out yet. Before when you had a Korean car you just discard it after 4 yrs.... anyone still has their old model accent, elantra, pride?

[pioneer]

De few remaining hyundai from de late 90's on de road powered by SR20 now.

Not even sure if it still have ah kia from that era.

Men like to gamble wid dey morney oui, in the name of gee.

[turbohead]

Only kia gud for after 5yrs is to use asa chicken coup bcuz its better than d resale you will get for it. Its a cheap knock off of real cars. Alot of ppl who buy these cars are only attracted by the shape n 'features' they hav. The ride and comfort of these cars are poor imho. U hav to force yourself to get a comfort spot in the seats n the suspension is too stiff. Ill buy a ke70 rolla over any of those new kia's....

[cinco]

Iz dis 2014?

my 11year old 323 which advertised 105hp in 2003 dyno'd 94whp last month. 11 years on and still holding the ponies in. The Cerato wont be on the road for half as long and probably wont be making any korean pony power, chances are it will have a nissan engine in there after 3 years.

[pioneer]

So men doh care bout resale value but runnin dong cheap showroom price?

Word.

[jsm1985]

Anyone know what engine the Mazda 3 comes with?

The model sold by SSSL comes with a 1.6L engine, not the new Skyactive models. The only information I can find about any Mazda 1.6L 105hp engine online seems to indicate that this is an old ZM engine (used in the 1998-2002 Familia). Surely this can't be right? wtf

I was almost decided on M3 over the Kia until this...
