2001 Kia Carens LS review from Singapore
"A good bargain for a superb street-performer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, except the explained noises:
Transmission sometimes gives throbbing sound when put to 'D" and at rest.
Air-con sometimes sounds like a washing machine.
General comments?
Superb road holding and driveability for a MPV.
Superb value for the money spent.
Not enough torque when moving off in traffic.
