2007 Kia Carens [ARCHIVE]

[itlog na pula]

Hi, newbie here..sorry can’t have the time to go back to review other listings here because it is very long and I am only on the first page.I’m interested in acquiring a new car and I am interested in the Kia Carens because many say it is “lady-friendly” and I don’t see a lot of it. Can you please some careens owners here at tsikot give me the following info if it would be possible (thank you for your help). Engine performance and availability of parts. Plus what’s a nice color for a lady? I’m from one the provinces of Luzon up the Northern tip and I have a friend in Manila (who has a contact in one Kia dealer in Metro Manila) who can assist me in purchasing a unit possibly by May or early June. Is it okey to get the unit from Manila or should I get one nearest our place (is there a Kia in La Union, Pangasinan, Vigan?). Manila is far but I would also like to have a manila plate number. Please help. Would appreciate it Thank you.

hi budo! let me share with you some of my thoughts on why you may want a carens. short of saying sales talking you into buying one. hahaha!

i often hear "girl's car" daw siya. maybe. siguro these are some reasons why.

one of the first things that struck me about her is how easy ingress and egress is into the vehicle. if you are a lover of skirts, this may be a plus instead of getting into an suv.

also, another is how big the side mirrors are! compared to my other car, kitang kita mo katabi mo.

there's the carrying capacity. an extra 2 seats in case you need them. the leg room is very comfortable. the cup holders hint of a family car.

availability of parts? casa muna yan since bago pa talaga siya. eventually i think they will be available outside. afaik, kia pangasinan (calasiao) ang farthest north. actually, part sila ng laus group (also owns kia pampanga and the other car dealerships there). not sure kung may mas north pa doon. pangasinan po ako although sa signet mandaluyong namin nakuha unit namin.

engine performance? crdi would be best. either manual or automatic would be good choices. so far, i have no complaints on my at crdi. mas fuel efficient naturally ang manual. at least you have 6-speed transmission! kung dyan sa ilocos yan, you may be able to use it to the fullest!

hth.
