Hi Guys, I just want to thank you for your inputs here. Because of this thread, we decided to get a CRDi Carens over a Civic. I was using the Carens for 3 days now and we really had no regrets on choosing it. It really has a monster under its hood Plus its other features, Carens is really a great value for money!!!

Guys, my Seatcover was installed last Saturday from SeatMate. Okay sila gumawa, 4 ang nagkakabit but it still took them 1 hr and 15mins. Mahirap talaga ikabit... Ganda ng material parang totoong leather, pati pagkakatahi.

3 Things that they missed.
1. Center Console cover medyo maluwag
2. Center Armrest medyo kita ung fabric cover
3. Walng provision para sa pang recline ng Second Row Seat, they have to cut and e-siksik sa loob. Its okay sana, kaya lang di na nila tinahe ehh.. so labas ung foam nya kung hihilain ko.. Ako nalang magtatahe if I find the time.. Medyo nagmamadali kasi ako nun.

As promised here is the pictures

Those are nice. Baka ipagaya ko yung sa iyo, pero black and gray para bumagay sa interior ko Magkano inabot ng seat covers mo and gaano katagal ginawa?

Thanks mga Sir!! Mqavilla, Okie lang gayahin no problem, I just hope hindi Red CRDI LX AT unit mo. Kung hindi look-alike na tayo ng unit. hehe

Current FC ko pala is about 9.34Km/Li City Driving (216Km/23.121li) with almost 800Km in my ODO (12day old car). Not bad

Di natin kaya habulin ang civic as i woke up this morning to check the result, civic got +150 vote added from last nights tally. Ganon katindi ang mga taga civic.

As for me ok na ako as a good second for automobile of the year. PEACE CIVIC.

[silicon]

guys! as long as we could still vote, please continue to support Carens' aspiration to be car of the year. Oo nga, second place is not that bad, but if first place is there for the taking, why not try. thanks guys!

[mqavila]

Well... I'm definitely going to continue voting for the Carens...

[jovill]

I have read some threads in the kia-forums.com about the problem of the carens/rondo pulling to the right on high speeds. Is anyone here experiencing that problem?

I slowly being convinced that carens is really a good buy. But before I finally decide to purchase one, I would like to know if this really a known problem.

Thanks!
