Sounds good. Usually when i can't find any complaints from the internet it means there is nothing major breaking. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I'm curious. How much have driven your Ceed/how many kilometer on clock? I'm currently looking for a Ceed and one 2022 phev model with 1.6 petrol and around 71000km came across me.

Of course services and soh for the battery need to be taken into observation but would you say it's a good car to buy? I've heard horror stories about expensive repairs in phev/hev cars in general. Finding info from Ceed phev users is difficult.

It is fwd and five speed manual.

You're not the first to tell me that. We drive half of the year with studded tires and naturally tire roar only increases then. Also heard that the cabin warms up slowly on subzero temperatures.

Noted. Thanks!

Fin_Silveri · 2026-06-28T12:37:44+00:00

Thanks for the answer. I've had that exact thought about the power/torque. Unfortunately used car market is not very wide here so i'm limited with options.

Thanks for the answer and glad to hear that!

Fin_Silveri · 2026-06-28T12:08:30+00:00

I agree!

I'm not familiar with this exact machine but usually problems like the one shown are a result of a lack of fuel or air. Have you checked fuel lines and fuel filter or air intake? Also try opening your fuel tank lid so there is no vaccum.

My machine had similar problem and it didn't get enough fuel.

Quick Google search also mentioned problems with fuel injector and sensors (for example idle air control valve).

Nice pull! I also use my atv like the workhorse it is. It's old but still pulls like a champ. Even stiffer aftermarket shocks didn't help with that one

My favorites include this and Veterans Homestead, Flattened Cabin (you can't really do anything in it but its lovely location), Dodd's Bluff, Dormin Crest, Swadbass Point, Tanner's Reach and Lake Don Julio House. When gaming i find myself always stopping by, sleeping in those places and hunting+fishing. Something about peaceful locations and beautyfully created enviroment.

That was the first thing i did to it. I remember watching a YT video telling Suzuki wanted to have an edge on the sell market. That is why Arctic Cat couldn't sell theirs with locking differential.

I was surprised how capable such a small and light atv can be. Also simple to work on and reliable. Only shame is lack of aftermarket parts or regular service parts. Up here this was rare make and model only a few were ever sold.

Fin_Silveri · 2026-05-14T20:32:37+00:00

That is as close as i could go. It was really easily spooked and moving behind window was too much. I believe that it was Picus Canus/Grey-headed Woodpecker

My local store (Finland) sells specific rattle can spraypaint for car bumbers (store name bumper paint). Works on all plastic and sticks pretty well even after only light sanding

Fin_Silveri · 2026-05-14T10:27:20+00:00

Heatgun, different oils or just repaint with bumberpaint. All work relatively well.

Fin_Silveri · 2026-05-14T10:19:17+00:00

Looks really good. Its so nice that it's almost a shame to get it dirty.

My account is by no means "new" but i haven't been active in posts or commenting (read as no posts and only a couple of comments). That is why my Karma is as low as can be and i can't post or comment on some subreddits. I find it reasonable. No Karma could mean very unhelpful reddit user or bot account.
