Any idea how much is the LX M/T?

Hmm sana body colored man lang yung door handles ng LX.

What are the available colors?

Thanks?

Just saw the Kia Carens in Silver City Mall near Tiendesitas. There seem to be some kind of Kia exhibit in the basement but I'm not sure what it was.

It looks actually nice from the outside and if Kia can maintain their price, I don't see why it can't eat into the Innova market.

that's kia libis...

they have the lx and ex displayed there today...

just test drove the EX and ended up reserving for the LX

the interior is far better than innova i would say...

I love the Korean site of Carens and I like the Violet color or whatever they call it. Comes complete with 17 inch wheels, LED 3rd brake lamps, Adjustable roof rail, Moon roof, chrome door handles. Haven't seen one yet. Kasama ba eto sa release?

The steering squeals when making turns. acceleration of the santa fe v6 engine is is the same with the all new mitsubishi outlander.. id rather prefer the outlander coz of its fuel economy.

service parts is quite limited..

Kalokohan. You obviously haven't driven sa SantaFe yet. Kahit SiR mo di aabot dun. Kaya nga nun mag 200kph++ ng may 7 passengers e.
