Sir wayward, Ilolio ka , di ba? Where did u get your W/A injector ? How much including installation? Update mo kami on torque improvement against navarra...hehehe. Takot kasi akong mag-overtake sa navarra baka di ko mahabol at mapahiya ako, I read nasa 400+ kasi torque nito and carens nasa 300+ lang.Thanks in advance. yup sir, roxas ka or kalibo? we have a bro here na roxas based, handle s mondot... got the W/A kit for 265 USD including shipping..ordered it online via devil's own website. Its like a DIY kit, parang bolt on aftermarket performance upgrade lang. You can install it yourself sans the technical skills. Malaki kasi price difference if I source it from speedlab, added to that, may installation fee pa sila.  But hey, if you are interested order ka na lang, will be more than happy to assist you sir, punta ka lng iloilo hehehe ;D |

I was at the megamall yesterday, 1day lang ako sa manila coz nag attend ako ng funeral ng uncle ko kahapon, but anyway, meron dun (sm megamall) display na kia carens, i think kia greenhills yun casa, yung napansin ko yung roofrail nya ay iba sa EX, dont know if modified LX lang yung, i didnt get a picture kasi nagmamadali ako and medyo pagod sa byahe, but the carens ay parang EX talaga ( i mean...chrome handles, naka chrome rims, color keyed ang mga side mirrors, etc), yung kaibahan lang ay yung roofrail. Di kaya ex talaga un and pinalitan na nila ang design ng roofrails???

good day sirs and mams.  first of all, i would like to apologize for posting my message here though it doesnt involve mods. and dont know how to start a thread and i decided to post hear because it has a lot of traffic. my question is simple enough: is the kia carens longer than the x-trail? im asking because it might not fit my garage and i have to fix my gate to accomodate it if ever the Good Lord gives me one of these fantastic machines. thank you so much for finding the time to read and respond to my message. God bless!!! |

Good day and God bless!!! Ang ABS ay maganda para sa mga lugar na may yelo, o kaya ay madulas ang kalsada, mabilis ang takbuhan ng mga sasakyan, o di kaya ay maulan..Ang function ng ABS ay para di mag-lock ang gulong mo kapag nag-panic braking ka dahil sa baka may masasagasaan ka, o kaya ay mababangga ka. Sa walang ABS, ang gulong kapag inapakan mo ang brake ng biglaan ay nagla-lock o tumitigil ng pag-gulong kung kaya't dudulas ang buong sasakyan at maaring maging sanhi ng lalong pagka-bangga mo, o kaya ay pagkahulog sa bangin kung malapit ka doon. Sa isang may ABS, ang gulong ay titigil pag inapakan mo ang brake mo, pero dahan-dahan ito at di magla-lock kung kaya titigil ang sasakyan mo at hindi dudulas sa kalye. Dito sa Pinas na mabagal naman ang takbo ng mga sasakyan, at di naman umuulan ng yelo dito, at nagpo-frozen ang mga daan, di na siguro kailangan ng ABS, pero mas may ABS, siyempre mas mabuti... Kasi minsan may bigla na lang tatawid, o kaya ay susulpot na sasakyan sa harap mo...pag may ABS ka..di sadadsad ang sasakyan mo, pero hihinto bago mo tamaan ang sinumang nasa harap mo. Pero para sa kin sa scale of 1 - 10..siguro nasa 5 lang ang rating ko na kailangan natin ang ABS. Ang talagang kailangan natin ay ang AIR BAGS...sa both front seats, at saka sa sides... |

thank you so much for your detailed answer sir jching. im enlightened now on the said issue. sir, how cn we compensate not having it? in terms of driving style? would the brake-release style of braking suffice in lieu of ABS? and sir, i test drove the carens, and found out on the test unit (an EX AT Gas variant), that the driver side power window was only automatic when going down, but not going up. is this a defect only on the test unit? because my previous cars were automatic, both on going down or up. all i had to do was to push it or pull it once.i didnt need to pull it up till it closed completely as what happened on the test unit. thank you sir and God bless! |

iohannes, ganun din mechanism ng power windows sa EX AT Dsl. nung una di ako sanay kasi with my previous car, up ang down dapat isang push lang nga open/close automatic na syang bubukas or sasara. I guess ito talaga ang feature the power windows ng carens. I dunno with the LX variants...I assume same din.
are you still deciding on what to buy between the x-trail & carens? if you are, I too got into the same predicament before we bought the carens.

hello sir barzee! that's a bit dissappointing to know, but not too much to turn me off from this fantastic car. im not that lazy naman eh na lahat kelangan automatic. importante, pogi ang auto! i used to own an xtrail sir, but id drop it in a heartbeat for this car. im so happy and satisfied with it when i drove it.it was fast as a gas variant, i suppose the diesel version is faster. i was not happy with my xtrail for a several reasons: first, i found that the rear part of the wheel drops whenever i have full load, making it look like it was gonna lift up its front tires. it was so obvious that i had a lot of cargo.secondly, i had persistent problems with the wheel alignment. no matter how many times i brought it back to the casa, my steering wheel kept misaligning to the left as well as the car pulling to the left. and the biggest disappointment was the FC. it was like around 7liters/km on a good day. most days it was around 5-6l/km.i had the 2.0 4x4 variant. so i decided to sell. (also it became a hot target for carjackers). i had other minor issues i would really love to own a carens. unfortunately, i cnt afford one as of the moment..i jst pray to God that i indeed have this car someday if it is His will. thanx for taking time to answer my questions sir. God bless!!! |

God bless!!! Well regarding sa problem mo sa kargahan sir iohannes mukhang same problem din ang mararanasan mo dito. malambot kasi ang suspension natin and mas mababa ang round clearance niya kay mas prone siya sa sayad esp pag puno ka. pero the good thing about our car e malakas ang engine nito and matipid siya because of its engine. |
