2002 Kia Carnival 2.9 turbo diesel

Summary:

You get a lot more for what you paid for!

Faults:

My lubricant pump failed at 40,000 km.

Front tires worn in the first year. I suspect poor quality, but also bad driving from myself. It is a heavy vehicle and should not be driven as a mid size car.

Air conditioning evaporator had to be changed at 50,000 due to a leak.

Rear side doors need continuous adjustment. I think is a dealer problem.

General Comments:

Very cheap, but you get a lot from what you paid.

I bought it knowing that if cheap, it will have problems, but as far as the sum of all expenses is less than the price of similar vans, I am pleased.

Very comfortable and stylish.

Plenty of room and exterior vision.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
