2007 Kia Carens [ARCHIVE]

[vinrem]

Hehehe
The first batch has a key illuminator, rear lamp and etc. etc.

second batch dami nilang tinanggal na minor items lang. But you can still live with the items they removed from the first batch of carens. after few months CAC implemented a huge price increase.

Then comes this newest batch of carens where I think really sucks. They remove the cover of all rear compartments. Change the second row seat to a one piece seat and can no longer be tumbled nor can be fold flat. They also removed the second row ashtray together with the cupholders. For the ex models they change the roof rack with a low cost one.

From value for money to s*ck*r. CAC makes me sick.

WTF...so yung nakita ko sa megamall last sept na naka display dun na yung roofrack ay iba na ay ex pala yun, kala ko lx model lang then linagyan lang nila nang ganung roofrack then binago pa nila ang whole layout ng seat!!!, jezzz....what is CAC thinking???

That's a very good price already. It seems that may rollback din sa presyo ng CAC. siguro naramdaman na nila yun error nila sa price increase nila. pero be sure that the unit you will be getting is the first or second batch. the last batch is a disappointment.

Good price indeed, i think at the expense of even more cost cutting yan -definitely. they wouldn't want to reduce their profit anyway. most likely even deeper than prev. 2 cost cutting mentioned by ser "Mschumacher".

totoo ba ang tsismis na may bagong lalabas na carens? iba na daw ang headlights para katulad na ng new sportage

Guys ask ko lang, whats the advantage and disadvantage of changing the tire rim from 15" to 17"??? Kasi i was planning to change the shoes of my carens eh kaso yung mga magagandang design ay nasa 17" lng, does it affect the riding comfort if i change to a bigger rim, need some advice please, thanks!!!

Actually ang advantage ng 17 or 18 inch tires e mas malipis na ang profile ng tires mo which is when you are travelling at high speed at may nangyari sa tires mo e ndi ka prone sa pagtaob. kaya lang magiging mas stiff ang ride mo. mararamdaman mo ang lukab. at mas prone masira ang suspension mo.

Thanks sir shumi for the quick reply, so in that case, mas ok pa rin if i choose a 15" or 16" rim as not to sacrifice the quality of my ride, am i right???

It all depends on you. Pero pwde ka rin naman mag 17 e pero max mo na yan. Sa US kasi naka 17's sila dun. make sure na ndi low profile ang tire size mo. pwede yata ang 225 50 17 or 225 55 17

As of today Nov. 9. ang laman atin against starex is only 1867 nalang from 3,500plus last month. GUys, wag tatamad-tamad. Vote now.

Hi sir shumi, what if i choose a rim size with the spec of 6.5x16 with an offset of +42, what will happen to my car or suspension if i change to the specs above, kasi i have read dati within this thread that if i go to a 16" rim the specs should be 6.0x16 with an offset of +51.

I think ok lang naman e. pasukat mo na lang muna. I think mas ok ang 6.5 kasi wider ito e. sa tires naman kasi mas malapad ang tires mas ok mas may grip kasi ito. My tire size now is 245 40 18. Mas ok ito sa grip

meron bang wheel offset na dapat titingnan kung papalit ng rims for the carens?

hi dex, just what vinrem mentioned, it's +42. check this site out

pwede mo palitan offset and rim width, tire size and find out kung ok compared sa stock mo.
