Kia Carens (06 - 11)
Review
This has a lot to offer. For example, it comes with the option of seven seats, which immediately gives it the edge over some of its rivals. The interior has plenty of space, and there is a big boot for added practicality. It is also well kitted out; you get things such as air conditioning, electric windows and mirrors, electric sunroof, cruise control, rain sensing wipers, trip computer and rear parking sensors. On the road it isn’t the most exciting or challenging car to drive but it is comfortable. There’s a bit of body roll on corners and the steering is light, but the ride quality is comfortable so long journeys will not be a problem. There are two engines: the 2.0-litre petrol and 2.0-litre CRDi. The petrol pushes out 142bhp and delivers 34mpg while the diesel has 138bhp and returns 45mpg.
Look Out For
• The brake and accelerator are very close together in the automatic version; this could cause problems while driving

What we dont like
