    *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.

    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.

    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?

    *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.

    *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.

    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

    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?

    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?

    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

    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.
