2007 Kia Carens [ARCHIVE]

**wavecxs** · May 5th, 2008 06:24 PM

hmm... I wasn't charge any labor fee when I had my 5K PMS last March (also at Signet). Is it because, I did not bring the carens for the 1K PMS? Meaning, 1st PMS is always free? (I paid the same amount as you did, except for the labor)

OT: dito ba yung nagtatanong kung illuminated yung power window switch sa likod (second row seats). Well, I remembered to observe the other day, hindi nga illuminated. How about you folks?

Carens Crdi LX MT

Here's what I spent:
6 ltrs oil - 900
oil filter - 525
rags - 12
labor - 1000
vat - 292++

total - P2,729++

hmm... not bad considering the savings i'm getting from the consumption.

However, it is still 4th place in the Automobile of the Year category.... with the Volvo C30 way ahead of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th placers... Bro Magnus, are you saying that the Volvo C30 will be de-throned?

Remember a month ago we thought that voting for our carens is a futile exercise because of our small numbers. It's still relatively brand new in the market especially the CRDi, not everybody knows about this car and let alone appreciate it. Some would not even have a second look because it's Korean for crying out loud. But because of our testimonies, people who visits this tread realize that we have a great thing going on here...we have a great contender for the automobile of the year in our hands.

Last month we are down 1k against Suzuki APV for best mini van, poor 3rd. Now, the tide has change and we #1 and leading with wide margin.

Volvo had a head start, & truly a nice car but to have it, will only happen in my dream and that goes to majority of us. Carens might not have the gret brand on its belt like the c30 but my carens sure delivers.

Sabi ni Sir itlog na pula."She might not be perfect but she is to me." +1 dito.

The C30 mahirap na yan kasi mukang may nag pad ng Volvo cars (pansin nyo lahat ng Volvo cars are top or near top in their category). So battle of the Korean vans Grand Starex vs Carens

I think your right. I cannot even tell one volvo model to another, how can you vote for it. I can tell if its c30 sa likuran lang...sorry but that is only model i know.

The Carnival has my vote for full-size van, bro!

Bro Magnus, what you say is true... of course, I faithfully vote Carens as Minivan of the Year as well as Automobile of the Year. From the looks of it, the Civic will overtake the Starex very very soon. And I'm sure the Carens won't be far behind!

A great testament to the respect given by Carens owners and non owners alike yung pagiging 'faithful' voters (like me

).Ako nga kahit wala pang Carens palagi vote ko sa kanya lalo na sa automobile of the year because I like the car from any angle. If I like the car without even owning it, how much more to those who have owned and driven it? For sure, hindi naman tayo mg aaksya ng time, bandwidth, etc pag hindi naman worth it yung endeavor...

WOW Small world.

Alam ko ung Federation pero kunti lang kilala ko sa baryo natin. Mostly kami kilala nila ask mo "Enyong ya Soriano" baka kilala nila lolo ko. hehehehe. Sa taas pa kasi kami ehh, harap kami ng Jehovah's witnesses na church. Bihira kami umuwi kasi wala ng kaming house dun, pinagiba na namin since andito nakaming lahat sa Manila. Kung mailabas ung sasakyan today or tomorrow uuwi kami sa Thursday. Hope to meet you there one day. :-)

me too!!! i wasn't charged any labor nung 5000 kms pms ko. that's strange...

di kaya babawiin nila kapag 10,000 kms pms?

wave, i asked this before kasi na-praning akong baka napundi yung bulbs ng power window switch sa rear doors. i even went to signet again to check the showroom units. mukhang walang ilaw talaga sa rear doors yung switches.
