2015 kia carens

[ax30g]

Hello, Everyone.

Eyeing one as a replacement to my Escape.

What are your thoughts on this car? Any issues that i should be aware of?

Budget is 650K btw. I'm also open to your suggestions.

TIA Tsikoteers

The Carens is a good looking car. If I'm not mistaken it is also quite popular in the European market. However it sold really poorly here, probably due to the rubbish previous Kia distributor. So I am concerned with regards to parts availability outside of the casa.

there's too few running around.
i think maintenance will be un-cheap.

let's wait for an owner to come in, for his experience.

Thanks for the feedback. What would be a better alternative within the price range?

what is the vehicle's job description, po?
my bukambibig recommendation would be a previous gen diesel innova.

I have noticed that an Everest of the same vintage costs pretty much the same. Of course it is an entirely different beast, but one that is tough and roomy. Add a little more and you can get the Montero. Of course these would mostly be the base GLX, but if you're willing to look at older units, some GLS-Vs or even GTVs may fit

If you're ok with MT, the cheapest Ertiga is so close to your budget. Otherwise, a used Mobilio and BRV will be look and drive closer to the Carens.

Ill be driving this alone most of the time since my wife is working abroad. Mostly city driving but will sometimes be used on some out-of-town byahes with my parents and sibs (max of 6 pax).

I'll pass on the Everest since I own an Escape. I'll check the Montero. TIA.

Sorry pero walang dating sa akin yung bagong design ng Ertiga, same goes with the Mobilio and BRV.

Anyway, salamat sa suggestion.
