[SIZE=3]I recently bought a diesel automatic careens in Southern Luzon, Philippines[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]First, the good things.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]air-con is very good.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]the interior is spacious.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]plenty of gadgets [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]lighting panel is impressive.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Now the bad things.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]As cautioned by previous reviews, the after sales service of KIA is lousy.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]After a month of using the Carens on smooth roads and about 20 kms. a day, I saw three (3) wires protruding from the left front Hankook Optimo tire that came with the car. They wouldn’t replace it. They’ll tell you they’d refer it to blah-blah but after a month of this and that, nothing.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]the suspension is too low that when you go down from an embarkment, you’ll hear a loud thump from the underchassis. It will guarantee to break your heart every time you hear it.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]when you go up a hilly road, there is so much noise and the car is huffing and puffing. In Tagalog, hirap ang makina.(the engine is having a hard time going uphill).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]first gear is so noisy.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]there is side-to-side wiggling at low speeds.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]paint is bad. There are small, white round splotches on the paint and they will not buff it for free.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]paint easily gets scratch off no matter how well you take care of it.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]interior gets scratch too easily compared to my Toyota. Because of the cheap plastic.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]going back to the suspension being too low, you’ll hear a thump when you park front first in malls with barriers at the parking lot. Again, your heart …[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]pang-babae ang Carens.(a car for women) Test drive it and you’ll know what I mean.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]there is considerable noise even when windows are closed. Try test-driving it in SLEX, you’ll hear the sound from the barriers. Ask your children to count it by the sound they’ll hear.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]marami pa (thre’s plenty more) but my heart bleeds for an almost one million investment.[/SIZE]
