2007 Kia Carnival Grand 3.9 petrol
Summary:
We are always fighting about who will drive on family outings
Faults:
The park brake hook that holds the cable to it bent and snapped (fixed under warranty).
General Comments:
This is the best car we have ever owned. It was purchased for the wife as the family run about. I was very skeptical about buying a Korean car, but I have to say I am extremely impressed with it, to the point I am considering buying myself one too.
We have had no complaints with the car (only the dealer), and everyone we talk to that owns one says the same, how much they LOVE their Grand Carnivals.
The comfort and flexibility of the cabin is second to none. We traded an AU II Ford Falcon XR8 on it, and the Carnival has it all over the Falcon inside.
The fact you can completely take out the second row of 3 individual seats is great, and the 3rd row folds into the floor, totally disappearing when not needed.
We have taken the middle seat of the 2nd row out to create an aisle, making 3rd row access much easier.
This car has everything you could ask for that is found in much more expensive luxury cars (we only wish we bought the model with leather and electric doors).
LOVE LOVE LOVE this car, and will definitely buy another one.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
