2007 Kia Carens [ARCHIVE]

[SuvFan]

Congrats on your new ride. Pwede mo naman siya itravel kahit sa malayo. Yung akin last month ko nakuha biyahe ako agad tarlac e. La naman sumisita sa akin pero with in 3 weeks nairelease agad plate ko. hingi ka na lang ng maraming dr na different dates. Yup black talaga yun HU ndi nga maganda e.

Thanks Mschumacher and Wavecxs! I am asking kung pwede ko etrade sa kanila ung headunit. I think ito na lang priority ko instead of mags.. Sana lang di ganun ka mahal.

Good to know na pwede ko na sya mai-byahe, thanks sa tip about the DR.

Hay, baka thursday ko pa daw makuha ung unit ehh.. Tagal naman!!! Ung plate number, sabi nga nila mabilis lang daw sila kumuha kasi hindi nila pinagsasabay sabay and sa main daw sila nagaapply (sta. mesa).

Ask ko lang din po, ung CVT ba nya, 4 or 5 speed? Ung alarm pala nya is AVT. Mukha namang okay, although di ko sya gaanong naririnig. Hope may speed sensing sya.

So far, I think ung Head unit, Mags and low ground clearance lang medyo ayaw ko sa kanya other than that "It's perfect". But its still acceptable

With regards sa HU ok na naman yun e hindi lang maganda tignan talaga. pero ok na din siya. palit ka na lang siguro ng speaker maglagay ka ng seperates at sub sa likod. ok na yan. 4 speed automatic niyan sabi nung ibang naka a/t na nakausap ko ok daw ang a/t niyan kasi nagbebase sa tapak ng driver. so hindi masyadong matakaw. and pwede din naman siyang gawin manumatic e, 4 speed nga lang.sa ground clearance mga 2 times na ako sumayad pero hindi ko pa din naman makita yun damage e.

mukhang tumahimik ang mga peeps dito a.

Carens reached 2 thousand votes for the best in mini van last night...far far ahead from the 2nd place suzuki apv. Korean cars are doing great in all categories,1st in four categories and close 2nd or 3rd in all other categories nominated. Does this mean that Filipinos grew a liking to hyundia/kia brand?

By the looks of it, the automobile of the year will go to either civic or carens. Everyday, the gap is narrowing...by a month time civic will be the the 1st and carens 2nd or 3rd. Starex also can easily grap be on top.

This are the cars that regular filipinos can easily have.

Yup, it's so heartwarming to see the Carens' steady climb to the top of the Minivan category. I hope the Carens maintains its lead there...

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?

OT: Mukang in a few days the Civic will overthrow the Grand Starex and take #2; 20 na lang lamang ng Grand Starex at the moment. 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 the civic has already dethroned the grand starex. And I also think that the volvo c30 will be dethroned in about a month. as you can see the gap before of the c30 to civic and carens are almost 1k but now it has lessen by a large margin, so I think it will be a close fight between the civic and carens. Good luck to us carens owners. Before we are just rallying for the mini mpv category now I think its kinda bigger.

I think the civic has already dethroned the grand starex by a few moments earlier.

I saw my unit sa KIA Pasig kaninang umaga. Its a RED AT LX CRDI kaya lang hindi pa marelease ng KIA kasi wala padaw ung Proceed from the Bank. Akala ko basta may PO from bank okay na, pero they are still trying to work it out. Sayang gustong gusto ko na sya e-drive ehh.. Most likely next week ko pa daw makuha ung unit.

Akala ko pa naman madadala ko na sya sa Manaoag this weekend.

Questions naman sa mga new owner? Ung head unit na kasama sa LX is colored Black JVC, it doesn't look good at all (for me). Ganun din ba sa inyo? :-(

May no Plate no travel policy parin ba in place? Balak kasi dahil agad ung car sa Pangasinan pagkuha ko. Para mapa-bless at mabreak-in.

Itlog na pula, san ka sa Malasiqui? Taga dun din ako ehh, but I am staying in Cainta... sa Canan Norte ung papuntang Villasis ako.

CANAN NORTE ka rin???!!!??? doon yung farm ko. pero bago mo isiping malaking farm siya, maliit lang po. hehehe... sa tabi ng federation warehouse siya. si toning de vera yung bantay ko doon. baka kilala mo. i-pm mo pa may ngaran mo aro!

i go home mga 2x a month to pay bills (feeds, kuryente, sweldo). siguro minsan ma-timing kitang nandun. pasakay na rin!

congrats pala on your ride! tama ka, it may not be perfect to some, pero she is to me.

Just had my 5k PMS done at Signet Mandaluyong last Friday.
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.

[wavecxs]

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?

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.

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.

fellow kia bros dala nyo na rin carnival sa votes nyo

fellow kia bros dala nyo na rin carnival sa votes nyo

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!

[Hanren]

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.
