    I have had one of these for 7 years and 105.000kms in December and it has never missed a beat.Service intervals are 2years or 30.000kms!.Fuel consumption is 5.6l /100km.To put it simply it is the most practical,reliable and cheapest car in its class.We looked at the Alhambra and Galaxy but they were 10k euros more for less spec models at the time.
    I have had over 55 cars and most of them German(BMW,Audi,Mercedes,VW) but never again.

    I have one of these. The 'third row seat belt hits you in the face' gag at 5.15 is false. Mine is regularly full of grandchildren and the rear seats often in use. The clever maganetic anchor point is in the roof about a foot forward of them and obviously goes over the shoulder of the passenger in the middle of the second row. It goes no where near anyone's face. In fact the belting arrangement in my excellent (I will be back) 1.7 DCT is more intuitive and sensible than it was in the complete shite 2012 VW Touran I had previously, whose gearbox failed at 71,000 - after a load of other reliability issues.

  • @andrewmildinhall8210
    @andrewmildinhall8210 4 роки тому +17

    Why do reviewers make such an issue about the lack of space in the third row of seats. If you regularly need 7 seats you'd get a minibus. There really for 5 with optional 2seats for the kids friends. Also the petrol head reviewers always criticize driveability but normal people will thoroughly enjoy it.

The Carens has never given me any trouble in the two years I've owned it except for a failed tailgate strut which was fixed under warranty.

    @Drako9874 Рік тому +1

    Hi Mat. You say the design inside is "a little bit boring". Sorry, but I definitely have to disagree with you there. A VW Touran is boring inside. Since Peter Schreyer and Thomas Bürkle (formerly VW/Audi) and Alfred Biermann (formerly BMW M-GmbH) switched to Hyundai/Kia, the Koreans have been building much nicer and better cars than the German manufacturers. But unfortunately this fact has still not reached the masses :( I also like to remember the Video by Martin Winterkorn (VW) at the IAA in Frankfurt 2011 at Hyundai: "There's nothing rattling." Why can they do it and we can't?

    If only Mat sees the cheap-MPV name Sienta by Toyota. That is so crappy!

    7 years after it looks like the review was a bit shite, as the car is cheaper and better than its rivals. the rivals don't give even warranties anymore.

    This guy whinged his way through the entire review.
    Try driving a zafira grand tourer for example. Shite engine and notchy gears.
    Or a grand Picasso. Absolute cheap rubbish with hellish dashboard.
    Grand cmax. Had one as a courtesy car and it was rough with absolutely terrible fuel economy.
    The carens is by far a cut above most 7 seaters unless you go into Q7 or Range Rover territory
