Kia Carens' Suspension: Similar to a Car suspension?

[budo]

Hi,

I'd just like to ask your opinion about the suspension of Kia Carens. Is this as soft as other cars? Is it easily prone to damage and tear? I thought that minivans are supposed to be sturdier than cars? Can we subject it to abuse just like any minivan Or should be be careful? is coil spring of Carens similar to other coil springs of pickups or SUVs? Sorry for asking too many questions. But I just want to be enlightened.

TIA!

It's not a Minivan. It's a car-based MPV. As such, it rides more comfortably than the truck-based Innova... but yes, this likely means that durability is not as high as it would be if it were truck-based.

Thanks sir Niky. Due to our bad roads, I really have to tread those roads slowly and carefully, even coming to the point of irritating the vehicles following me.

Most of my passengers noticed the comfortable ride of my Carens (all praises sila) but deep inside, I know there is a trade off.
