advise ko lang, ask them to put on the seat covers, ang hirap ilagay nyan especially yung sa rear seats...

Yeah you said it right, i remember that day when i was going to get my kia carens, the casa was putting on the seat cover, it took them maybe around 2hrs to put on the seat cover hahahahaha

.

My FC pala now is 7km/li

from the previous 5+km/li, hope it will get better pag malapit na sa 1000km

, btw, ano maa-advise nyo, PMS pag 1000kms or PMS sa required na 5000kms ng casa??? thanks!!!!

When I asked my SA, he said recommended PMS is at 5K kms and 1K is optional. Right now, our unit is at 1.4K kms and FC has improved. I don't know if its just me but the response seems to have improved too. I'm planning to have PMS on the 5K.

IMm29, oo nga. Sana magkaroon na sila this coming week at nagsisimula nang magdumi. Kung sakali nga, I'll just ask them to install it themselves. Based on mga kuwento niyo (juneT, vinrem), mukhang mahirap nga install yung sa rear seats.

june, magkano pagawa mo leatherette seat covers?

Crichton, yung JVC rin nasa akin. At least hindi yung merong cassette tape player/cd. Di nga lang ako natutuwa sa tunog. Mas maganda pa set up ko sa lancer ko! Ayaw nga lang ni misis palipat subs sa kanya. Hehe... Eto yung pic ng interior...

As for the speedometer reading, siguro spot on siya. Umuwi kami dito kina kumander ngayon sa angeles at sinukat ko kung yung odometer ay accurate using yung kilometer markings along nlex. mukhang swak naman. kaya estimate ko accurate na rin yung speedometer...

Nag top-up ako diesel kaninang umaga at estimate ko 11.5kms/liter. medyo na-trapik pa ako sa slex at edsa nun. not to mention na pabago bago ako ng takbo (as per manual). umaasa akong gaganda pa fc after seeing other posts.

Kung usual driving habit ko pinairal ko, sigurado mas mataas siya. hirap nga lang talaga kasi matutuwa ka sa lakas ng makina. ang daling mag overtake, kahit kargado ka pa!

yung sa roof box, nakapag tanong na ako sa thule. yung pacific 600 line nila quote sa akin P36k.

btw, has anybody found yet a luggage tray (para sa likod). something like this? tried fitting yung sa tucson ng neighbor ko pero hindi kasya.

I agree with you sir, the sound systems sound is not that good or maybe kulang lang sa tweak hehehehe.

Sir what is the size of the tire of your EX?

Guys, pag meron kayong alam kung saan nakakabili ng mga accessories (like chrome door handles, chrome mould sidings, roof rails, luggage tray etc) for the Kia Carens paki post naman dito o thanks!!!!

itlognapula - sa GoldRich, 6.5k yata bili ko dun sa seat cover, will try to take pics so you have an idea...

vinrem - try GoldRich also...they have chrome for headlight, taillights, door handles and for the aircon vents and controls...

you may call 7414676 and ask for leony, sya nag assist sa kin dun...

chk, www.koreanautoimports.com dami accessories, mahal lang yata pa ship

o.t., some jackass tricycle hit my carens from behind, yupi ang tailgate and scratches on the rear right passenger door... my insurance referred me to a dealership na hindi kia, will it void warranty if i had it repaired there?

Sir JuneT, thanks for the info. sorry about what happened to your car, thats the problem with some tricycle drivers, they drive recklessly and dont care kng ano mababanga nila

, sorry but i dont have any idea if it will void your warranty if you repair it outside other than the kia dealership.

vinrem, sinubukan ko na i-tono pero wala talaga. mas maganda pa yung tunog ng tucson ng neighbor ko! tingin ko the hu is good pero mukhang nagkakatalo sa speakers. gusto ko sana kabitan ng crystal baka mag improve. hehehe...

yung tire ko, 205/60/16 kumho solus...

junet, mura yang seat covers. quote sa akin ni seat mate, P7500!

sarap tirisin mga tricycle drivers na ganyan. siga sa singit. kung tinamaan ako akala mo kung sinong mabait na tupa. ang nakakainis pa, kakamutan ka lang ng ulo sabay, "sensiya na ser". hay...

i suggest you talk to your salesman at tanungin mo kung puede. most likely, mavo-void warranty mo dyan. mahirap na.

guys,

balak ko sanang magpalit from 15 to 17 tires. until i read this in the manual:

"CAUTION: On the vehicle equipped with 205/65R15 or 205/60R16, if you would replace the tires to 225/50R17, the steering gearbox should be replaced together with the tires and wheels..."

kailangan ba talaga to, what will be the consequence kung di papalitan yung "steering gearbox"?

tulong naman po mga gurus... sa mga nagpalit na or sa mga balak magpalit.. inputs naman po.

ang alam ko si sir "phoenixradmd" ay nag upgrade na to 17's. sa tingin ko kaya kailangan palitan para di sumayad yung gulong kapag full yung ikot ng steering wheel. malapad kasi ito. kung di mo papalitan siguro ingat na lang wag full yung ikot ng manibela.

post mo dito kung magkano inabot upgrade mo, 15 lang din yung sa akin
