Is the Kia Carens reliable?

Hi Omotunde,

Short answer, yes. Longer answe: there have now been three generations of Kia Carens, with the third-gen arriving on sale here any day now. Like all Kias, they're ruggedly built but the best one to go for is the second-gen model, which is just being replaced. Not only was it the first Carens with seven seats, it also came in latter years with Kia's seven-year warranty, so even quite an old one will still have some warranty left on it. Or you could wait for the slick, handsome cee'd-based new one to arrive. Nice car, that. Here's our first drive of it.
