I own a 2011 carens a/t. Has been with me for only 7 months but has logged a total of 21,000 km. so far no major problems. Yes it has a 5 year warranty but the downside is that you are "forced/obliged" to have pms done at casa so as not to lose your warranty and the service at the casa is definitely not cheap. Power delivery is top notch. Better value for money than a sedan since you have the flexibility to seat 7 and it's a diesel. Suspension and insulation not as good as the innova though.
