EX so automatic sya? are u using Manual mode lagi? if yes, try mo lang sa D mode. then avoid Idling, we all know this kills your gas mileage. saka keep your car in tip top condition..... also pagdating sa driving habit, avoid jack-rabbit starts. kung hinay hinay lang sa acceleration, malaki impact nun sa fuel consumption. also kung nakikita mo na malayo pa RED light na, i-coast mo na lang to avoid fuel wastage. and best of all, try to change your travel time to off-peak para di ka matrapek and di makunsumo. hehe.

Thank you for your help. Will try Goldrich in Banawe as suggested. May I ask sir where is this shop near? Orthopoedic side of Banawe or the side near E. Rodriguez. Again thanks for the inputs. Would like to change to bigger mags but Im afraid
of my warranty being voided so will retain the 15 inch tires for now but will replace the steel rims with magwheels.

*parakitoJDM, thank you sa suggestion, (by the way I am using AT verson) but I tried all this things, parang pinalaki ba nila ang butas sa ECU or walang control ang ECU kaya panay lamon ng gas hahahah. I will try to make a full tank then I will run about 50km then I will make full tank again ang I will check deeply, to see 100% accurate consumption. tnx again

Hi Carens owners, I requested a quotation from KIA Alabang today and the quoted price of the 2011 Carens LX MT was Php889,000. I am choosing between an Innova E and Carens. And I found the Carens to be the better choice. However, I have not seen the actual Carens car.. napakadalang kasi sa daan or sa mga parking lots. I asked KIA Alabang if they have a unit, meron daw kaso kukunin na raw bukas (lucky owners).

I have a question, how is the space between the last seat row and the backdoor? Without folding the 3rd row seat, can it fit a 20kg luggage or a balikbayan box (medyo exaggerated)? Likewise, if you also own an Innova, is that space behind the 3rd row seat just enough to fit the luggage/box? Any pictures showing this space would be helpful or a link maybe. At isa pa po, pag puno po ba ang car (7 pax seated, not overloaded), di naman po ba lubog ang sasakyan (if it's not equipped with leaf springs)?

Maraming Salamat po. Hopefully, my bank loan will be approved sooner. Goodluck to me.

Hi, the exact distance of 3rd row seat and a backdoor is 10 inches only much smaller than Innova which 14 inches, if you fold the 3rd row of Carens you have a huge space and if not enough you may fold the 3rd row and become flat all the way. The width of Cares is 1.8mtrs so enough 4 person in the 2nd row (each person sized 60Kg) and the 3rd row 3 person of around 50kg sized. Carens is powered so you dont worry about the load. Good luck....

*daxbrandy, sir if you need more space then innova would best fit your requirement, the same as if you require more weight to transport. ive tried 6 adults and 2 kids, power-wise walang problema pero pag nakita mo yung rear wheels, nakabukaka na, hehehe, wont do it again

I believe naka bukaka talaga because of the type of suspension of the carens.

Mga Sir, Any info if magkano po ung fuel filter sa Carens? Nasa 20k na ung ODO reading ko. Namamatay ung engine when driving at low rpm. It will then turn on in a while tpos nawawa rin ung sakit. Diesel AT ung carens ko. Fuel Filter daw pero idiagnose pa nila baka marumi lng ung sa tank... Magkano po fuel filter dyan sa Manila?
