    The Carens second row is tighter than in the Sportage and Tucson.

    If the Sportage feels better to you than the Tucs, that's probably the way to go. I like the interior colors, better, too.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    I am choosing between the carens lx versus the kia sportage 4x2, halos kapareho ang presyo. Choosing kia because I will trade in my ride. Di ko pa rin sure kung alin sa dalawa ang pipiliin ko.

    The plus:

    Carens: +30hp, with 2nd row aircon vents, softer steering wheel feel
    Sportage: Higher ground clearance, better 2nd row leg room, spare tire same as your 4 sets

    The Minus:

    Carens: Noted to be kalampagin, some friends of mine has complained about aircon problems, 3rd row basically useless if you plan a full passenger load, at least to be comfortable, reserve tire is really small, for emergency use only
    Sportage: Not vgt engine aside from -30hp than Carens, harder (but firmer) steering wheel, the sound coming from the stock stereo system not as good as the carens

    Confused....

    By the way, I believe the headlights on the Sportage is H4. Anyone knows what is on the Carens? I am sure its not H4.

    If you waited long enough this entanglement would be solved by.....the 4x2 Montero Sport. For a little more, you can have

    -CRDI diesel with turbo intercooler
    -SUV with 7 seats

    Of course, you will end up not buying a Korean. But features-wise, the 2.5L MS is essentially the current "bang for the buck" vehicle for the family.

    Pero mas matagtag sya than any of those choices above... The way I see these choices the person is aiming for a comfortable soft roader but has the capacity to handle some baggage that a sedan can't.
