Since Hyundai bought Kia, you can say the performance of their cars are pretty much similar as they share whole platforms and engines. I actually prefer Kia's more angular design approach over Hyundai's fluidic sculpture. Local dealer service, however, is still not up to Hyundai standards though they seem to have been improving lately.

Nissan Grand Livina is actually very good, but the lack of a diesel engine is something to consider. Then, the Carens seems to be better.

The Carnival is great, but as far as cost-effectiveness the Carens is OK.

January 3rd, 2012 07:12 PM #25The Carnival is a really nice car, as long as you are OK with the body size and the big 900cc increase of engine displacement (and not so big increase in power) as compared to the Carens. I'd say the Carnival is vastly more comfortable and looks better but is a tad slower and less fuel efficient as compared to the Carens.

January 8th, 2012 07:07 PM #28to TS,
I beg to differ on the comments regarding the avanza.
My wife has been driving this for 4 1\2 years now and she has no complaints. madami mga avanza users na mga ladies and they have no complaints.
Mine is 1.5G A/T model. Lagi ito binibiyahe Manila-Iloilo, loaded. This is a very versatile MPV, you can haul people with it (last night nakita ko sa neighbor ko an avanza parked as visitor, then out came 8 people plus 2 kids), ako nakargahan ko ng 14 Cu. ft. ref and an 21" CTV plus my luggages.
Handling is good for a woman driver, madali i-park sa masisikip.
so, if you consider a vehicle for your mom, drop by a toyota dealer and asked about it. Pasok yan sa budget mo ang 2012 model nila na 1.5g A/T. Me pang upgrade ka pa
just my 25 centavos suggestion
Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
