2007 Kia Carnival GSE review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Automatic transmission went at 25,000.
Front shocks had to be replaced, as the wrong ones were in it from the start, and they wore the front tyres off it.
Left side front drive went at 7000, and had to be replaced.
Kia were not helpful; they will not replace the tyres, and did not want to know about it.
I would not buy another car from them; they are like all the rest, they just take your money, then they do not want to know.
My name is Peter Whelan, and I can be contacted on 00353876143321 if anyone wants to know more. Thanks.
General comments?
The car is quite nice and comfortable, but when things go wrong, which they will, nobody wants to know. After paying 42,000 euro for mine, I will end up in court with Kia Ireland.
