2007 Kia Carens [ARCHIVE]

[itlog na pula]

yup, i was there kanina. actually had our car serviced thursday last week pa. just dropped by lang for chit chat.

ok service ng signet. i like it there kasi hindi naman sila mahigpit masyado sa work area nila. you can hang around naman and ask the mechanics questions and watch them as they work on you car. look for ferdie bautista, yung service advisor ko.

Hi Mari, do you have any new pics of your Carens? Maybe you added some accessories such as seatcovers or rain gutters or whatnot? I'm still waiting for my Carens - thankfully, there's good news that came with this long wait and with getting the Carens under the car plan... I just learned from our Purchasing that Kia Main has approved a fleet discount for me and my two other officemates who will get a Carens. :D

Just had my 5k PMS done at Kia (Signet) Mandaluyong. It took them 2-1/2 hours to finish the job including the free body wash. I paid P1,631.84 for the 6 liters oil (P150/li), oil filter (P525), cotton rags and sandpaper P32 plus VAT (P174.84). The labor was free.

I just scanned the Warranty Booklet and noted that Kia requires PMS interval as follows:

For diesel - 5,000 kms.
For gas - 7,500 kms.

Mas matipid pala sa PMS ang gas variant.

OT lang guys. yesterday morning when Im on my way to makati at around 6 am may nakasabay ako isang nissan livina at malamang test vehicle lang yun kasi lahat ng logo and name niya nakacover e. sindyang tinakpan yun mga yun. anyways, its kinda cute but para siyang masyadong maliit. I thinkndi siya tatapat sa carens natin.

Hey itlog na pula naka usap ko si ernie of signet just drop by there yesterday and kailan nga ba magfoform ng club tayo para mapagmalaki na natin ang ride natin.

Yup, parang maliit nga yan compare to our carens, dami dito sa china, for the 5seater they call it livina pero pag 7seater they call it geniss.

Hi guys,

I was just wondering... I think I had asked before if anyone knew of a place locally that sells a cargo liner for the back (a "floormat" for the cargo area with the 3rd row seats down). In the alternative, if this is not available here, what do you guys use to protect the cargo area from getting wet or getting stained (from groceries, etc)?

As for the Livina, I had previously considered waiting for it before deciding on what car to buy. But from the pics that I saw on the Internet, I found it to be too similar to the Innova and the Fuzion (in other words, it looked too much like an AUV for me - no offense to Innova and Fuzion owners, just my own humble opinion). I still ended up opting for the Carens, which felt a lot more like an MPV or SUV in style.

Wow, how fast time flies... my Carens turned 1 year old today...
19.8k km travelled, 2x PMS.

So far, no rattling, no cracking on the plastics, undercoat still looks good despite frequent contacts with humps...

still drives just like when we got it a year ago...

I use 2 bedroom floormats, yung may magandang prints or designs, pero not those typical floormats na usually ginagamit sa banyo or sa doorways, but yung ginagamit sa bedroom.

To all Carens owners, check nyo yung speedometer nyo. Sa akin off ng 10%, so if i'm running at 100kph sa speedometer, 90kph lang talaga. I tested this with a GPS and while running side by side with our pajero. Talagang off sya. It also means na off din ang odometer ng 10% (please correct me if i'm wrong with this), so if i'm already at 8000km, it means na 7200km pa lang talaga, kasi 10% of 8000km is 800km. I talked to Signet in Mandaluyong (Francis) and he told me that he will contact their technical service department, pero medyo malabo daw at baka wala silang magawa. If this is a problem for all Carens here in the philippines, lugi tayo sa warranty and mas mataas ng 10% ang odometer natin, so malamang mali din ang FC computation.

ok lang for me as long hindi affected and odometer....

Thanks for the info, sir master chief.

sana nga rin eh, pero malabong ganon, kasi connected talaga daw yung speedometer sa odometer.

Wow, is this true? Ang hirap naman ng hindi accurate... Ano kaya ang dapat gawin? Adjustment sa odo or speedometer? Palitan ang size ng gulong?

try mo pag nakuha mo na yung unit mo, or mag test drive ka ulit. as far as i know, the Rondo (US version of the Carens) has 16" and 17" rims for the LX and EX respectively, sa atin 15" for LX and 16" for EX. So the Rondo has bigger wheels in general, so that should have compensated for the 10% increase in the speedometer. Sa mga EX owners, pa check naman yung speedometer nyo, kasi 16" ang rims ng EX.

[jarx]

akala ko same lang overall diameter ng tires kahit 15 or 16 and rims (nagiging low profile lang pag 16) mali ba? Dahil kung iba overall diameter, dun magiging off yung speedo at odo.

Kung off nga by 10%, kailangan mas malaking diameter para lumapit yung actual vs speedometer?

help. thanks!
