    Anyone have a Kia Carnival?

    We need a new car - the Kia Carnival looks great for room and features. I like the EX as it's larger and a bit more special...

    Has anyone got one? Do you like it? Any problems?

    I looked at them, but they didn't have enough boot space for what I wanted. I bought a SsangYong Stavic. With the Merc engine I think they are a bit more reliable too

    A friend used to work in the service department of a Kia dealership and he then moved to Mercedes service department. He told me to go with the Stavic mechanically, because they do last. If you want to tow, the Stavic can take up to 2500kg.

    Thanks girls - yes the boot space worried me - a woman I sort of know has one and has a twin stroller that fits in the boot - so that's gotta be pretty roomy??? It's a twin side by side jumbo jogger.

    I will google the stavic. We have a pajero and there is no boot space! So any boot space would be a bonus!

    ETA: Aaah someone around town has one of these - I don't think I much like the look of that one - but it sounds very functional...

    You can move the seats forward and back in the back rows if you need. I can fit 2 prams in the back.

    Gosh well that's gotta be quite big Lulu - I can only just fit 1 stroller in my pajero and the kids have the two little "****y" seats in the back...
    Have you got the EX Lulu?

    Have you had any problems Lulu?
