Nissan Livina or Kia Carens

**imperialv** · May 12th, 2007 07:25 PM

hi guys,

we all know that the Livina will still be available next year (????)).. Would the wait be worth it or just get a kia caren na lang...

I notice that the kia's gas version can produce 140+ hp... sa nissan mas mababa (MR18). would you think the livina will be a slow machine compared to the carens...

I checked out nissan livina before I bought my Carens, then I said even if it came out, I'd still get the Carens. Looks, I like Carens better; Livina has no CRDI version.

Imperialv, if preferred mo gas wait for the Livina, I doubt kung maglabas sila CRDi. Yung CRDi Carens listed hp140. That's more than enough for me.

Hi guys, I'm shopping for a car right now and since I'm a family man on a budget, it all boils down to the Toyota Innova and the Kia Carens. From what I've heard, the Nissan Livina will generally be in the same category (price-wise and feature-wise) as these two so I guess I would be interested in finding out the opinions posted in this thread.

When will the Livina be released anyway? If it's in the very near future, I might wait it out and see.... But if it will be released more than two months from now, I might end up with the Carens...

I've read a review on the Livina on Topgear mag. They test rode the car in thailand I think. They mentioned it will only have a 1.5li gas engine.

The Livina, if it's being brought in from Yulon, will have no CRDi version. It seems to be around the same size as the Carens or smaller.

It'll probably be a comfy, plush, well-appointed car. If you don't mind buying a gasoline vehicle, it'll probably be a decent choice.

As for the Innova, the D4D is less refined than the CRDi in the Carens, but it's not bad. The only issue is the difference in ride comfort... otherwise, the Innova is a more utilitarian vehicle, with more space.

if ito lng choice ill get nissan lavina because of the brand filing ko kac pag kia or hyundai sirain

pero if i have other choice, toyota innova n lng mas madali maintenance and mura ang parts, mataas pam resale value

I don't think Hyundai and Kia should be feared anymore in terms of reliability. Remember Hyundai gives 5 years warranty which is the best in the industry. But I have no argue against re-sale value, but Nissan has horrible re-sale value too.
