2007 Kia Carens [ARCHIVE]

**Hanren** · July 3rd, 2008 06:54 AM

[SIZE=3]Like sir Itlog na Pula, I find it hard to adjust with the footbrake. Nasanay kasi ako na kapag uphill traffic eh ginagamit at nirerelease ko handbrake prior to climbing from a stop position. Now its getting to be a challenge with my Caren’s footbrake though the footbrake release lever is within reach. Hindi ko pa kayang subukan sa ngayon in those tight situations. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]The problem is, everytime I come from a stop position in an uphill traffic, umaatras ako ng konti and there were several instances when the engine would die down because I am not yet really familiar with the clutch “timpla”. Oh well, sanayan lang siguro ito. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Overall, the performance is very good. [/SIZE]

Thanks sir. Grabe din yung hirap na dinaanan natin pero kahit ganon matiyaga ka pa rin sa akin (este sa amin ni misis

)..hehehe. dumating pa sa point na totally nag give up na tayo noon dahil sa price increase. Pero 4 months din yon na walang gaanong tulog kaya palagay ko tataba na ulit ako ngayon.

Yung plate na lang antay ko ngayon hehehe..

congrats to the new proud owners of Kia Carens...

regarding the footbrake release while uphill on the manual.... it really would take some time to get used to it. Tama naman yung style ni bro fastlane... never mind kung mapalakas yung tapak sa accelerator rather than mamatayan at worst case, mabangga. Ang dami pa namang driver now na mahilig tumutok while uphill... delikado. Take care on the road guys.... peace.

yup dapat nissan gl kukunin ko but kia quirino ave. gave me a high trade in value for my nissan sentra. and gusto ko talaga power

and cabin space ng carens crdi.

after ko mag painstall ng hid 4300K last night i went straight to tagaytay with 3 passengers. the engine performance of carens is awesome. the ride was smooth just like my sentra. i gas up worth of 500 pesos of diesel fuel and to my calculation( not that accurate) my fuel consumption was 13-14 km/l. speed is ranging from 60 kph - 120 kph.

very satisfied din ako sa 4300k hid. kahit foggy yung daan maliwanag parin

sir icemancm nice meeting nyo kahapon sa autoline.

we both change our stock low beam to 4300k hid.

Nice meeting you din sir... Mas functional talaga yung low kelvin rating than the higher ones...

Sana may mag Schedule na ng EB for Carens Club...

Set na tayo ng EB..Mahirap kasi hanggang plano na lang yung pagtayo ng club. At least, kung eb na, susunod na yung club kahit na may unofficial club na tayo dito sa tsikot

Hope this helps....

Thanks! Nagitingin na ako sa Ace Hardware sa MOA at sa Festival sa Alabang pero so far parehong out of stock, haha!

Maybe mas ok nga na magpa-custom na lang instead of buying the rubber tray.

Yes mga sir and ma'am. let's setup an eb na. I think the best place to setup an eb is at metrowalk. then we could schedule it on a saturday night para mas walang conflict sa mga owners. Then we could inform ladyrider na din. siya kasi ang maraming knowledge sa mga ganito e.
