Definitely mabibitin ka sa space sa Carens kung lagi kang maraming sakay. Siguro kung wala silang luggage lahat, then ok lang kasi mas comfy talaga ang ride ng Carens as in very car-like. The innova is on a ladder-frame platform similar to pickups pero not as harsh as a hilux or even a Hiace commuter/grandia. Kung lagi ka sigurong puno, medyo macocompensate yung stiffness niya just like the FX and the Revo before na medyo mellowed and quite comfy na ang laro ng suspension pag puno ng sakay.

Another thing to consider pag lagi kang puno is yung layout ng airconditioning. Lamang ang innova with 2 ceiling vents each for the 2nd and third row powered by a separate evaporator sa likod running through ducts. Yung vents ng carens sa middle row lang and placed quite low sa bandang tuhod ng passenger. Those vents are ducted through the same evaporator and blower that cools the front row so medyo mahina ang buga in my experience. Magiging comfy lang siya pag na-contain na ang init sa loob unlike sa innova na pag galing sa bilad, may sense of comfort na agad ang mga nakatapat mismo sa vents pag-on na ng aircon.
