    Hi Guys!!! Im planning to buy a car this year, but cant decide between an adventure gls sport and the kia carens LX crdi, this is for family use like hatid/sundo sa mga bata sa school, and the weekly pasyal to the mall on weekends, around 5-6 passengers ang sasakay including in-laws . I ask my in-laws to test drive the adventure kanina and sabi nila ok naman, as for the kia carens sa monday pa daw, i ask them to test drive the car for me kasi i am stationed here in china and also kaya ako nagtatanong dito kasi wala na talaga akong update regarding sa mga AUV natin dyan sa pinas liban na lang sa mga nababasa and nakikita ko sa mga websites.

    Any suggestions and comment would be of great help, thanks!!!

    mas maganda ride ng carens. kaso ung aircon nya d maganda pagkakalagay. adventure old but reliable. matipid din sa krudo. groud clearance mas mataas adventure. mas mabilis carens. 6 m/t ang tranny. sarap tlaga pag may pera

    Hello Vinrem,

    May I ask how many years will you be owning the car... If you're going to sell it in less than 5 years, I'd go with the Carens. But if I want to own it forever, I'll be more confident with the Adventure.

    Both cars are good... Well, the Carens is way better of course! It rides better, much safer, so on and so forth. The advantage of the Adventure is a cheaper maintenance cost, cheaper parts, if you're a tech guy, you can service it on your own because of its simplicity.

    Gaya na sabi ng iba Adveture would be more reliable compared to the Carens, since Adventure has been here for quite sometime, plus the 4D56 engine is tested na din na pangmatagalan.
    The Carens has 5-yr warranty so I think should not be a problem if reliability ang pinag-uusapan... plus the Carens is more flashy, better interior and of course faster, nga lang lower ground clearance. To me these two are not comparable although both seats 7.

    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.

    Pwede kaya sa adventure na ilagay yung turbo and intercooler katulad sa 4d56 ng strada? hmmm..

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