I tested this with a GPS and while running side by side with our pajero. Talagang off sya. It also means na off din ang odometer ng 10% (please correct me if i'm wrong with this), so if i'm already at 8000km, it means na 7200km pa lang talaga, kasi 10% of 8000km is 800km. I talked to Signet in Mandaluyong (Francis) and he told me that he will contact their technical service department, pero medyo malabo daw at baka wala silang magawa. If this is a problem for all Carens here in the philippines, lugi tayo sa warranty and mas mataas ng 10% ang odometer natin, so malamang mali din ang FC computation.

i notice parang off nga pero i'm not really sure. there are instances when i'm side by side the new honda civic and you can read the speedo reading from the outside. parang magkaiba nga.

the odometer does seem spot on though. i use the kilometer markings on nlex as a guide...

obviously may labor cost included.

Yung friend ko sa Cebu, he was charged P900 plus for the labor para sa 5k PMS. Kia Pasay and Pasig are also charging labor for the 5k PMS.

I just wanted to ask... when the Carens rolls out of the Kia warehouse, hasn't it been rustproofed yet? Why do we need to have it rustproofed again? Also, is this done at the casa or outside? Is this part of warranty? Sorry for the many questions... I want to be prepared once I have mine...

Yup it comes with the factory rust proof but sa labas lang kasi yun rust proof nila e ndi kasama yun loob ng fender e. As for me tinanggal ko lahat kasi yung nakakabit like yun fender liner and the headlight and front bumper then nagspray na me ng rustproof. Pag tinanggal mo kasi yun mga yun lahat ng nakatago lang rust proof e.

Mine is a black cherry '07 LX MT odo ko is almost 800 na.

Same here ganun ko din tinest yung odo ko e. thru nlex din dun sa mga pole. e mukha naman ok siya e. dont know about sa speedometer. maybe if lagyan nalang ng malaking tires kaya macocompensate ay iyon. Hehehe I've tried putting an 18 inch mags with a 235 45 tires and it really looks good so sad dont have the money to buy the wheels.

i'm planning to set up the sound system if ever i have extra money. mukhang ok naman kay kumander!

pera na lang kailangan. hehehe...

good news on your fleet discount! magkano kaya??? ang habang foreplay na yan ah!!!

as for the luggage tray you posted, i have yet to see one around here. i have that pic myself. ganda diba? matches the beige interior pa! ang ginawa ko naman is yun vinyl na table cover muna ginamit ko para in case may basa, hindi tatagos sa likod ng 3rd row seats.

Pano mo masesetupan ng sound system yan? I'm just curious kasi may sub ako dito e and gusto ko talaga siyang ilagay sa loob ng car kaya lang cant find enough space e.

And to all kia carens owner. lets form a club para makilala ng ibang non believers na ok ang carens.

Teka, you had titanium tints installed OVER the existing 3M tint? You didn't have the 3M tint removed anymore?

I might do that also...

i am also interested in putting in subs. the only area i can see is under the 2nd row seat. was initially planning to put it under the third row seat kaso pag tiniklop pala yung third row, wala na space under kasi yung seat will level off.

this is really nice to have on our carens. hopefully mga kia dealers will start selling this dito sa pinas.
