2007 Kia Carnival Owners & Discussions Thread [Merged]

[imperialv]

I thought this was the thread for the NEW Kia carnival?

*pup2... In Australia, the 06 sedona/carnival refers to the new body. Siguro kulang lang ang description ko above... I read that the grand carnival (LWB) earlier production had problems in steering.. Kumakabig nga sa kaliwa..

Anyway, I will be getting na yung SWB (ex) hopefully by tuesday or wednesday.

Ah, OK. Miscom. Mukhang major yun ah. Na resolve na ba? I myself am waiting for a test drive but I STILL have major wish lists such as the airbags.

I read that 07 production resolved the problem...

No problem about kumakabig with my new Kia Carnival. I drove it to Tagaytay a few weeks ago, quite a smooth ride.

I got my unit from Kia Libis, they allowed me to test the LWB model twice before I got mine.

Hi ace8tan, is there after market gear already? I am actually looking for a roof rack. parang plain ang van with out it... If you have list of products please let us know.

Thanks

[imperialv]

got the carnival already.. hehehe

btw, what is the proper PMS for our ride?

Is it true, no more 1K PMS???? If I would follow the manual, PMS will be done every 10K (normal condition) or 7.5 (extreme condition)... Ano ang sinusunod nyo?

[MadMax]

*King12, I agree, the Carnival looks better pag may roof rack Though it is already quite spacious inside, so I decided for practicality's sake not to get one.

*imperialv, according to Kia, first service for the carnival is at 5k km.

Madmax, that is also why I did not get it when I got my car 3 months ago. Just checking price as it would really look better with the rack.

imperialv, agree wtih madmax as well as this was advised to me as well earlier on this thread... Plus mentioned that since it is diesel best to do service every 5k.

So how's your consumption, EQAddict?

[imperialv]

its 19.0 liters/ 100 km. Thats what the computer says. Its used in the Quezon City, Edsa, Pasig areas. Very similar to the 3 liter Diesel Fortuner. I drove it to Subic the other week.... full tank lasted me about 580 kilometers (half of the milage was in Subic, the rest was in Metro Manila). I refilled when the gas guage fell below 1/4th....

*EQADDICT: How did you change the unit of measurement? Mine is in miles per gallon

That's about 5.3 Kms/L. A bit thirsty eh? I wonder what the actual mileage is, doing it the manual way. The Prado's computer gives me about .5 Km/L less fuel consumption than actual (i.e. computer comes to about 6.3 Kms/L, actual is 5.8). Hopefully it improves over time.

[imperialv]

Malakas nga... I hope it willl improve... I figure it out how to change the unit of measurement.

btw, ano ang mga kasamang standard accessories ng mga kotse nyo???

[MadMax]

Fuel consumption, according to the trip computer:

Driving on SLEX until c5, I was able to get 7.6L/100km, that works out to 13.2km / L.

Manila driving, I'm doing about 13.5L/100km, or about 7.4km/L.

Don't know if the age of the vehicle affects the fuel consumption, I've yet to hit the 1k km mark yet

[King12]

Hi EQAddict, Your consumption is quite high... My carinval LWB is currently doing 16.5ltr/100km. which to me is pretty good (but hope it will get better after the 5k check and change oil)..

I have racked up 3,900km already.. that is 70% to 80% city driving (all inside makati) and the rest long hauls (Manila to Batangas, Laguna and tagaytay)... My tire pressure is at 32 for all four as per factory recomendation (inside driver door) and I use Petron diesel.

Hope that your milage improves...

Does anybody have an idea how much the Carnival roof rack costs?

[feeter]

Ah, OK. Miscom. Mukhang major yun ah. Na resolve na ba? I myself am waiting for a test drive but I STILL have major wish lists such as the airbags.

When I saw Carnival first at pictures, colored gray, it looks very nice, very muscular.
Tapos when my cousin get one, then Red color, it doesn't look that good anymore, parang anliit ng unahan. Doesn't appeal to my taste anymore when in flesh, lacks excitement sa appearance.
Pero nung i-drive ko around the village, ok naman, ambilis din at parang pwede ko ding gawin dito yung race mode ko sa SLEX, pero I'm not sure if it's still fiery pag 100+ kph na sa highway kasi automatic eh.

Hi Guys,

Is our ride has an alarm or just a keyless entry?

[MadMax]

Hi Guys,

May alarm po. The busina honks on and off I tested this when I was at the dealer, after the test drive.

About the roof rack, no idea what it costs, but one concern I have is that it raises the height of the Carnival. There are lots of underground carparks that tall vehicles cannot enter (Manila Pen, for example). This was one of the reasons why I decided against buying a Starex. Had a bad experience parking my dad's old Starex at Manila Pen; I had to park outside, na tow tuloy

[imperialv]

i'll be getting a rain visor from kia greenhills...

[imperialv]

hi fellow carnival owners,

sure ba kayo na may alarm yung carnival.. the remote can honk the horn. pero if you try to open the doors manually walang response ang kotse... If yes, how did you check the alarm.
