I suspect you got your carens around Decemeber of last year? the temperature today is much warmer and as you can observe carens has huge glass surface area compared to other cars. So what you are experiencing might just be normal. You can try at early in the morning though to test your #2 setting

I have an EX Crdi A/T and my odo is now about 4000 km. My FC is 9.2 city driving; Alabang to Makati CBD.

Re my tint, my SA allowed my to change for free to a darker "mirror"-like tint although the brand was not 3M. Ok naman, no bubbles so far.

Looks like normal nga ang FC na around 7-9. And i would assume that most of us is using petron diesel.

I'm currently comparing the FC and peso per km of my Carens to my 1.3S CVT City (since diesel vs gas, kailangan peso/km, di pwedeng straight FC to FC).. i'm getting 8km/l sa Carens and 10km/l sa City on pure city driving..

Carens: 48PhP per L / 8 km per L = 6 PhP/km
City: 54PhP per L / 10 km per L = 5.4 PhP/km

Mukhang mas matipid pa rin ang City.. although I enjoy driving the Carens more..

Re tint, i had 3m medium dark tint installed in my Carens pero di ko na tinanggal yung original na tint sa windows.. which was 3m na parang light magic tint. So pinatong lang yung medium dark tint on the stock tint. The result was a dark-chrome like finish on the outside but still good visibility inside.

Hi guys, newbie here.. i just ordered an LX A/T CRDI which will hopefully arrive by the 3rd or 4th week of this month. Just wanted to ask if any of you upgraded their rims and tires because I'm also planning to put in 18" rims on mine. My question is what is the ideal offset of the rims for the Carens, I already know that its PCD is 5x114... Thanks in advance.. hope to see pictures of your modified rides here...

had the same experience at around 12k, what they did was to replace my air filter...bumalik naman...but at around 22k, only the left driver side vent is cold, the rest blower lang and walang lamig...this time said its freon naman daw, its back to normal for now...

Nice Rims... Looking forward to seeing your rides personally...

What is the correct offset for the rims?

Is there a CARENS OWNERS Club?
