Well, if you've ridden in the Carens, you'd understand why... it's much more comfortable to ride in than an Avanza or Innova... it really rides like a car.

The Carnival is bigger, taller and roomier than any of the AUV/MPVs they pitched it against (wise move from Kia, pricing the base model SWB at close to the price of the top-of-the-line Innova and Fuzion)... oh, it's got a more powerful engine, too.

The Rio, well, I'm biased, because I did a one-day test-drive... it's surprisingly good. About as good as the Vios in some aspects, better in others... but I think the Jazz is better than either. I suppose it won versus the Jazz based on price...

The Picanto... well, come on... the Alto, QQ and Spark ain't exactly great. The Picanto has its faults, but it's twice the car that any of the other budget subcompacts are.

yung mga later models po yata ng rio ang merong hatchback na binenta dito sa atin.. pero sa new rio ngayon parang wala daw silang ilalabas. naitanong ko din kasi iyon nung nagpapaservice ako ng carnival ng dad ko.
