    Hi

    Has anyone any experience of these cars?

    Need an mpv and these seem a good price - can't seem to find much bad or good on the internet.

    Found one for less thn 4 grand with 60000 miles.

    Cheers

    It's cheap for many good reasons probably....http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/index.htm?md=178&

    saw that review but it's for the model before the one I am looking at.

    Don't see these on the roads very often but if anyone has ever owned one or knows someone who did I would be grateful for any info.

    Here's another review - http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/kia/carens-2000.aspx

    I don't pay too much attention to Honest John - it seems to list every single reported problem, with very little weighting on the frequency of the problem.

    The reviews seem indifferent at best though.

    cheers - thats a so-so review all right but seems to be good from my point of view

    "Carens lags behind its European rivals in nearly every area. But we'd recommend it as a used buy, if you're on a tight budget as it's well equipped, affordable and can seat up to six people. "

    Sounds good - I'll be viewing tomorrow so I'll have a good read of that review before I go.
