Good Points

Reliability : I have owned my Kia Carens (Diesel LE)from new since August 2005 (3 years and 5 months) and i have no cause to regret. It has never stalled neither has it ever broke down. As i write, it's done 67,000 miles and still kicking.
The only issue i had was when the central locking became noisy. This was fixed withing hours under warranty.

Standard Equipment : This makes the Kia brand a seller. You dont have to fret about adding so many unneccesary extras.

Price : Usually unbeatable...........its just difficult to resist Kia's pricing strategy.

Maintainance : The vehicle is reasonable cheap to maintaiin.


Bad Points

Slow Acceleration : The diesel acceleration could be slow sometimes making moving away from traffic lights and roundabouts a bit of a chore.


General Comments

Sincerely, I would love to own a BMW or Jaguar but even as i plan to change my KIA Carens , i find it difficult to resist going back to pick up the new model Carens. The value for money is irresistible and like i said earlier, my experience of reliability with KIA is also a winner.
