2001 Kia Carens LX review from Singapore
"Bargain car, and performances like it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust spots appearing on the back door (5th). ACtually water gets trapped quite nicely there.
General comments?
Grossly underpowered, and major struggle uphill.
Ergonomics is quite off; search for horn button.
Major struggle to get in and off third row as the controls seems to be on the wrong side. If you stop at the kerb side, the driver has to come out and hit the release lever!
