hi guys, im just a new member of tsikot. i just want to ask which is better the sportage or the carens? or the sportage or the hyundai tucson? ive already sold my old car and dont know which car has the best performance the sportage, carens or the tucson? thanks guys

carens and tucson.

[dieselNUBI]

for some reason. gumagana na ulet un passenger door lock ko. weird.

hey guys. pansin ko lang. do you have crappy speakers? or is it the stereo? it gives crappy sound quality.

I think its the speaker, meron na tayong mga fellow carens owners that changed their speaker and when they changed it to a newer one gumanda na ang tunog ng sound.

Ganun ang ginawa ko sa sounds ko. Pinalitan ko ang apat na speakers at bumili ako ng JVC co-ax speakers rated at 100W a piece. Tapos naglagay ako ng amplifier sa ilalim ng driver's seat, at saka sub-woofer (contained unit ito at di speakers lang) sa ilalim ng upuan ng 2nd row. 150% ang improvement ng sound, at lakas ng bass maski na di malaking sub-woofer ang speaker.

hi guys! It is sad to hear na maraming problema ang nangyayari sa Carens niyo. My Carens is almost 20K na, my brakes don't lock (sana wag naman), the aircon is fine and the lock is problem-free. Sana isolated cases lang ito at DAPAT magawan ng paraan ng KIA.
Nakakalungkot at marami na rin ang nagsisisi sa pagbili ng Carens, it is a beautiful car talaga.... ang nakakasira lang ay yung kumpanya na nagbebenta dito sa pinas.

Drive safely!

Sir silicon, don't get me wrong...i never regreted buying a carens. If given a chance of choose today , carens would still be my best choice.

[alagad]

My carens is still good. 16thou km.
It's just a bit low on clearance. I have to slow down at humps, and sometimes go over them sideways.

ang nakakasira lang ay yung kumpanya na nagbebenta dito sa pinas - This I agree. They should have better after-sales service.

Another is with the service centers. i had a bad experience with Wheel E rodrigues.

I had my Carens repaired cause my behind was bumped. After the repair, I got it quickly that i didnt have the time to inspect it.

I found out later that my back wiper was installed incorrectly, it wipes the bottom, not the glass.

There was a screw rolling at the rear right door pocket. There was a screw at the glass holders.

Two screw caps (near the indoor handle) were missing.

There was this "kalampag". The metal that locks the back door was loose.

Is somebody making a pettion paper (for the sellers and service centers?) that we need to sign?

Best regards,

alagad

I hope this issue about the passenger door lock is really an isolated case. I searched the kia forums and I couldn't find someone having the same issue.

yes indeed stock speaker of carens is really crap i changed mine to targa speaker. laking improvement sa tunog. super liit kasi ng magnet ng stock speaker. parang pang AM radio lang:hysterical:

Good day to all kia owners out there. I'm glad you all have fun dressing up your rides. Does anyone know of a store that sells Carens seat covers? I'm looking for red colored covers. Thank God the storm has passed. God bless us all.

nakapag-tanong na ako dati sa Ace hardware... they can do it. but its per-order basis. wala silang readily available stock. last time i checked mga Php2500 yung cordoroy. medyo magandang klase na....


yung isang owner nagpa-leather seats...magkano nga inabot?

[docs69]

good day bago po ako dito, just ordered kasi a 2010 carens. Medyo ang tagal lang dumating, pero sana worth it.

[revo]

guys help naman nabaha carens namin at napagawa na sa casa ng kia kaso me ibang parts pa na indi naayos like yung power window (4 sides), central locking, tail light ayaw gumana kahit yung park light, pero yung headlight nagana, trunk ayaw bumukas at pati na din sa gas tank, tapos yung isang headlight me moist pa, walang ilaw sa instrument pannel. kelangan ba talaga palitan lahat to? di ba sila pede ma-repair? kasi advise ng casa palit lahat. although sa makina ok na at ginagamit naman na namin at me aircon naman na kaya yun nga lang medyo malaki pa pag pinalitan sa casa yung ibang parts. any suggestion?
