Congrats bro! That's a nice color - very unique actually - I don't see a lot of this color around

I saw this on the Internet. This is what I want to get for my upcoming Carens to make sure that the cargo area won't be stained or dirtied by whatever cargo I load there. It goes on top of the cargo area with the 3rd row down:

Kung off nga by 10%, kailangan mas malaking diameter para lumapit yung actual vs speedometer?

help. thanks!

yes you are correct. 0.8% lang ang difference ng 15 & 16 OEM tires ng carens. check out these links.

19.8k km travelled, 2x PMS.

So far, no rattling, no cracking on the plastics, undercoat still looks good despite frequent contacts with humps...

still drives just like when we got it a year ago...

Wow, happy birthday to your Carens bro! Looks like you've been really using your Carens in the past year - 20K km in a year. Wow!

I'm thankful that you posted this... The Carens is a relatively new entry here in the Philippines so no one really had any long-term feedback on it. I believe you're probably one of the few people who've had this Carens for the longest time here. And, since your feedback seems good, it just shows how great and sturdy the Kia Carens is!

I was looking around the net for other owners having the incorrect speedometer reading and I stumbled on this thread at Kia Forums: http://www.kia-forums.com/kia-carens...g-right-6.html

According to the owners, their Rondos are pulling to the right, I also mentioned this to Signet that our Carens was also pulling to the right when I had the suspension-knocking checked on the rear right, they told me that I had to get the tires aligned. What about other Carens owners in this thread? Does your Carens pull to the right as well? Mine does!

My carens is actually 1 week today

. I'm happy to say that I am very satisfied and happy with its fuel consumption my FC for highway is 14.3 and FC for city is 9.2 it is indeed very economical compared to my lancer. As of the moment my carens won't be able to run till monday because I am rustproofing its underbody hehehe and it will take 2-3 days to dry up.

Can you guys give me feedback on your fc

Happy Weeksary bro! hehehe.... What variant and color did you get again?

I just wanted to ask... when the Carens rolls out of the Kia warehouse, hasn't it been rustproofed yet? Why do we need to have it rustproofed again? Also, is this done at the casa or outside? Is this part of warranty? Sorry for the many questions... I want to be prepared once I have mine...

I'm still waiting for my Carens - thankfully, there's good news that came with this long wait and with getting the Carens under the car plan... I just learned from our Purchasing that Kia Main has approved a fleet discount for me and my two other officemates who will get a Carens. :D

Hi ricky!

Nothing new on her now except for new titanium tints i had put over the existing 3ms. hindi ko talaga kaya yung init! everytime we do a long drive, i'm usually tired from the heat. ayun, mas ok na.

i'm planning to set up the sound system if ever i have extra money. mukhang ok naman kay kumander!

pera na lang kailangan. hehehe...

good news on your fleet discount! magkano kaya??? ang habang foreplay na yan ah!!!

as for the luggage tray you posted, i have yet to see one around here. i have that pic myself. ganda diba? matches the beige interior pa! ang ginawa ko naman is yun vinyl na table cover muna ginamit ko para in case may basa, hindi tatagos sa likod ng 3rd row seats.
