2000 Kia Carnival LS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Never to buy one again!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew after three weeks of ownership.
Time belt chewed off.
Cyclinder heads broken.
Coolant system internal leakage.
Sliding door jams.
Loses power on steep hills.
General comments?
I loved the car when we first got it. But after three weeks it completely broke down. The car is comfortable and spacey.
