Yes. The best option is to get it outside. I honestly think 38k is way too much.

Thanks! So, how's the ride so far? Fuel consumption? I've been looking for reviews online, but couldnt find any specifically for the 11 seater.

So on top of the SRP (1.595M) you added approx. 10k for the LTO registration, and maybe 38k for the insurance? How much were you originally quoted?

The ride is quite great and smooth. A lot smoother than my Kia Sorento . I haven't had the chance to get it refueled yet but the computer says around 8.4km/l but I doubt if it's accurate since my sorento is off by 1km/l. I haven't got any quotations for the insurance yet.

Thanks Dudyman. The FC isnt that bad, I see. Hopefully I get my unit soon.

I agree. Test drove the 11 seater last MIAS. Its not as quick and responsive as the 2012-2015 sorento maybe because its heavier. But the NVH is impressive thus quiet and smoother ride. Still hoping na maglabas sila ng 8 seater variant same seating configuration ng 2007-2014 carnival.

I really don't get to use the 4th row. Without it, it's got 8 seats but the problem is the jump seat since there's no headrest but for our needs, I prefer that configuration since it's like having captain seats for the 2nd and 3rd row with the jump seats folded

It’s a good thing dudyman got his unit already. These delays are getting to be a true test of patience. Now they're telling me that the next batch MIGHT be released mid-May. The wait just keeps getting longer and loooonger...

I actually made my reservation last December and they assured me to get the unit by April and I did. Just recently had my headlights retrofitted and it's quite a difference specially having a dark tint installed previously.

I made the deposit in February, on the last day of the promo and was promised a mid-May delivery. Last time I spoke to the agent, he said that it looks like their release is on schedule. They were already able to release some units around the same time dudyman got his unit.

Hopefully I really get the unit in May. Where did you make your reservation?

I forgot to ask, since they didnt give any freebies, did you have seat covers custom made? And how's the cargo area with the 4th row folded pala?
