med man, thanks for the info. actually those awards were quite recent and i've been pushing the dealership to highlight this in their marketing campaigns so they can hopefully get more inquiries, ergo more sales.
yes, like wave said, although we have to arm rests on the 2nd row locally, we don't have abs, curtain airbags, stability control, heated seats, etc. i was really after the crdi and since i've never had those features before in any of my cars, i'm not really missing much.
and like wave, i too have high wife acceptance factor!
we've got a small but growing community of carens owners here. hopefully more and more will be posting here soon like wave and neilbt...
