OK naman ang exterior ng makita ko yung unit and Im pretty sure na hindi sya nabaha dahil taga Cavite yung may ari. The engine looks ok except na madusing ang engine bay nya. He is selling it at 750K.

    Is Carens really worth buying? Problematic ba ang Carens? How about the performance? I heard the owner saying that there is a delay everytime he pushes the pedal to the floor. He says na parang hindi turbo lag kung di sa transmission. Help po mga sirs before we put our hard earned money into it. TIA!

    ok ang carens.. monster ang 2.0 crdi engine nya.. yung naka sabay ko na honda city 2010 model 1.5 engine hindi umabot sa carens ... meron mga ilang problems na mention dito sa thread pero na repair naman... yung carens namin 08 pa nakuha mag 2years na ngayon april wala major problem..

    yung delay na nararamdaman is not caused by the turbo kasi vgt na yan yung turbo lag present lang sa mga waste gate type turbo..the lag is more caused by the ecu retarding the acceleration to make sure diesel fuel is burned efficiently... kung mapansin mo most old school diesel engines mausok sa arangkada so to avoid that medyo delayed yung bigay ng power ng carens.. pero from 1,500 rpm up mapapasandal ka sa silya mo sa lakas ng hatak

    Kia Pasig told me though, that normally, other defects will start to crop up once they have replaced the major parts and have had the opportunity to testdrive the car. If so, their repair estimate will certainly go up and hopefully, the insurance company will finally declare it as a total loss.

    I really love my Carens but after being flooded, I'm just not that comfortable with it anymore. At this point, all I can do is wait and see. I'm sorely tempted to write a formal letter to Columbia or to the major car magazines about this. Guys, if you know of where or who I should write, I would really appreciate the help. Thanks!

    sayang talaga yung mga carens na nadali ni ondoy.. sana lang magpadala ng complete parts line up ang CAC to support kia vehicles...

    dito lang sa kia alabang nung nag pa PMS ako.. yung katabi ng service center ng chevrolet punong puno ng mga nabahang chevy vehicles.... from the low end aveo up to suburban meron at hindi pa nagagalaw

    That's what I heard nga sir na malakas talaga ang hatak once nasa power band ka na nya. I even saw sa Utube a Carens speeding sa Autobahn in Germany at 220km/hr. Top speed na yun ng SiR ko.

    How about yung mga pangilalim nya sir, matibay ba? Yung A/C ba nya ay di naman sirain? May provision po ito na ire chip ang ECU like what I heard sa iba Sta Fe owners sa forum na pwede daw irechip to get a higher HP and torque? Sensya na, it will be our first time to own a diesel car if ever. Thanks po ulit!

    Hi Whiteb16a,

    Got 08 Carens EX here.
    I Tried 200km/hr * Sctex, my carens is Stock and no modification at all. vibration lang ng sidemirrors ang concern ko beyond that wala problema. Steering is ok aswell the handling.

    they replaced my rear shock absorbers *35k odometer. Right now im almost 42,000 na sa milage ko still no kalampag and quiet talaga sa loob.

    Year and a half aircon lang problema ko. Ung magnetic coil sa compressor nasira * 19K pero mabilis magbigay ng warranty ang mga taga KIA Erod. (thanks JUN).

    Sana mabili mo na. Highly Recommended.

    Pag me lumabas na carens in the near future sana makabili ulit. hehe ganda eh.

    pag hindi na masyado lumalamig ang aircon nyo, ipa cleaning nyo na lang tapos papalitan ng filter...yun din ginawa ng Kia service center sa Carnival at Carens namin..

    Wow, ang galing pala ng Carens based sa experience nyo sir..na cover ba yung shock absorbers mo ng warranty? May konting worry kasi ako dahil up to this year na lang ang warranty nya baka magastusan ako ng husto. Pero ganda rin talaga ng EX na white lalo pag malinis ang loob at labas. Sa tingin mo sir ok na yung price nya at 750K for late 07 na EX with 15K kms? Isang convincing word na lang...at bibigay na ako salamat po ulit!

    Guys help!

    Last few days ago alarm occurred in our carens and it is for the water content in the fuel oil filter..Just yesterday service man from Iloilo brought with him a spare filter,,replaced it and test drive and it was all ok,.We pay for a total of 4,150 pesos..This morning my wife use the car to bring the kids to school and was ok,.but this afternoon the alarm goes on again..
    I just now told my wife not to use the car again and drain out all the fuel inside the tank..for some reasons which we don't know yet maybe thefuel tank was contaminated with lots of water,,but from where? From gas stations? Presumably, they are the only one filling the tank..,,Dirty fuel? (Diesel)
    But we I use the same Fuel station,..If I'm home..Don't know now..Coz some times my brother use the car..
    Anyone experience this,help help naan diyan

    when it comes to performance, power. thumbs up sa carens. but pinaka gusto sa carens maluwag sa loob(headroom) compare sa other mpv. almost 2 years na carens ko no problem so far. aircon malamig parin.

    latest speed ng carens ko.

    The only problem i experienced in my carens was nung na stuck ang egr that resulted in black smoke coming out of the pipe and slow accelaration, nung na linis na, balik ulit sa dati ang acceleration ng carens.

    Medyo new look na carens ko, new shoes, rear bumper guard and chrome side molding ang upgrades ko sa carens ko, post ko picture pag uwi ko sa bacolod next wk.

    better check your fuel line and tank for contaminants.. sensitive pa naman ang crdi sa water in fuel... also have a diagnostic check baka false alarm na din kasi.. hindi ko alam kung same ang water detection ng crdi sa old school diesels.. sa old diesel engines kasi may floater sensor sa may fuel filter (bottom) na kapag may tubig mag float yung sensor and send signal to the cluster..

    you can test drive... at least may warranty pa.. just save around 50k for future repairs kung meron man... nabanggit naman sa thread yung mga problems na lumabas pero minor lang at hindi common sa lahat ng owners.. also hingi ka pa tawad hehe.. medyo pricey kasi ang brandnew ng kia sobra pero laki naman ng appraisal sa trade in ng car..

    yung sa aircon naman naka climate control kasi ang carens kaya over worked ang compressor...yung sa carens ko always max ang temp ng aircon then manual turn off-on ko na lang pag malamig na
