    If I got the money I would go for the Carens lalo na CRDi pa naman ang choice ko.
    Lastly if you're considering gas fed Carens, then better go for the Mit Fuzion.
    Bossing, just want to ask regarding the A/C of the kia carens, kaya bang lumamig hangang sa 3rd row??? kasi parang sobrang liit ang blower ata sa likod eh, thanks in advance!!!

    Newbie here! Kia has been upgrading their car design and performance kaya nga ang design center nila ngayon is nasa europe like hyundai their sister company, they've even hired pininafarina to design some of its cars, looks european pero poor handling and cranky transmission especially if automatic. I would rather go for japanese cars who looks like japanese and cater for asian markets unlike korean cars who wanted to look like european... check out top gear on youtube about far eastern cars and see how jeremy clarkson critize their quality and performance.....

    hehehe nakibili na daw sya koya...

    hehehe i own an adventure. super simple i-maintain kami lang ng dad ko nagmemekaniko. swabe naman, dali lang. parts reasonable naman price. lamig aircon. lakas hatak ng diesel.

    pero iba pa rin ang car-based ride. if you prefer more comfort, Carens talaga is the way to go.

    I had my sad experience with early models of mitsubishi adventure, that why when I bought my next auv, carens crdi was the clear winner and my kids love it!

Mitsubishi Adventure (4D56) or Kia Carens (CRDI)?
