2007 Kia Carnival Owners & Discussions Thread [Merged]

[dozen]

Mga sir... newbie po ako dito. We are planning to replace our 2002 isuzu crosswind xuv. Una choice namin ang avanza kasi tipid daw. Fuel expense kasi po eh mejo concern namin. Sabi ng kakilala ko iba pa din daw kapag diesel. Masmura daw maspend para sa fuel. Totoo po ba? Anyway, dahil sa info na yun naghanap po ako ng diesel ulit. Innova is the first in our line since sawa na sa crosswind. Pero napadpad po ako sa kia and nakita ko carnival. Mejo nainlove po ako kasi maluwang ang lood at maganda. Advance pa sa innova. I brought my mom the next day sa kia sta rosa to let her see the unit i fell in love with. Same thing po... nagustuhan ng mom ko. Mejo naignore na namin ang innova. Worth buying po ba carnival? Actually nagapply na po kami for loan. Trade in sana crosswind namin kaso 320k lang upraise nila. Pero mukang papayag na din kami. Haha. Before we totally decide to have the carnival, konting research po muna ako at hingi ng feedback dito. Salamat po mga sir. Alam ko makakatulong kayo samin.

Actually diesel is cheaper kung per liter sa pump ang tingin mo. Pero may added cost ka sa maintenance. Sa kia every 5000km compared sa gas na every 7500km ang PMS.
Considering these 2 factors lang, I dont think ganun ka tipid din si Diesel.
However, diesel engines do enjoy higher torque than comparable gas engines and thats why Id favor diesel more. Ü

If you choose Innova diesel, every 5t kms din ang oil change. Might zip same amount of fuel per km as our crosswind. Carnival is a different vehicle. It's monocoque ( no chassis design), front wheel drive, full independent suspension, and heavy structure would give you a solid comfortable ride on paved roads. Like a wide body aircraft, you'll be treated with a higher level of comfort especially on long drives. On the other side, its 2.1 - 2.25 tons unladen weight, and a bigger displacement 2.9 liter CRDI diesel engine are justifying factors to consume more fuel than the lighter 2.5 liter Diesel Innova. I got last April a LWB EX automatic with an average consumption of 10kms / liter, plying the daily route of Sta Rosa Laguna - Makati via skyway vv.

[dozen]

Hi Dozen, around P350 at approximately 80kms round trip. V power nitro diesel kasi gamit ko. Gradual lang acceleration ko, 90 - 100 kph ave expressway speed.

Mga sir.... napansin ko lang... mukang magastos po ata maintainance ng carnival. Tama po ba? Planning po to have a carnival to replace our 2002 isuzu xuv.

[albert_b]

Is it? I think PMS cost is same lang naman to comparable vehicles. Syempre compared to some AUVs, baka nga mas mahal ang cost ng mga parts.

[dozen]

Magkanu po ba oil filter? Anu po ba usually gastos every pms? Just getting ready lang sir sa mga expenses.

[dozen]

Mga sir? Magkanu po service fee sa casa?

Mga sir... finally nakuha na namin sasakyan namin. Sarap po idrive. City driving pa lang kasi wala pa time makapaglongdrive. Napansin ko lang po na mejo di maganda amoy ng unang buga ng aircon. Pero saglit lang. Unang buga lang talaga. Normal po ba yun? Baka mawala din yun? Iobserve ko po muna.

Try mo sir ing ODORBACK OUT AIRCON SANITIZER... Php600.00 lang.
By the way A/T SWB ba ang unit nyo sir... May reservation na kasi ako pero no unit available daw..

Are you folks' Carnival still having warped disc rotor problem? How about failing alternators?

Has anyone had to have major repairs to their suspension?

The price for SWB A/T Carnival is really tempting me.

[imperialv]

So far wala na akong problema sa disc rotor problem.. baka na correct na yan... Regarding alternators.. wala na din...

Hello imperialv.

What's the kilometer reading of your Carnival? Does it get good mileage?

I often regret selling our old Carnival, I missed the very comfortable driver seat & cushy ride.

[JAA]

Congrats sa new ride mo. Observe mo lang kung paulitlit yung di magandang amoy pag bagong start sa umaga. Maaari kasing matagal na hindi napaandar yung a/c sa casa.

[albert_b]

Have the a/c cleaned nalang. Siguro nga matagal Na natengga yung unit

[imperialv]

Pa check mo na lang sa dealer.
