I am new in this forum. I am in Vietnam and owned a Carens I4 2.0L. In vietnam, I also noticed that most of Carens's owners are old, but only 30+, not 50+

to the forum with your first entry, we look forward to any contributions you can bring here.

looks like you got the same model as me, is it a 5-seater or 7?

Hello all. My wife is 24 years old and I am 28. We do not think of this as an old persons car at all! My wife drove a 98 ford Escort and I drove a 97 Chevy cavalier. Well the Chevy cavalier blew its head gasket and I didn't want to sink anymore money into it. We looked at a bunch of cars; however we did not want a mini van with the way gas prices are. So we test drove a rondo. I travel a lot for work so I rented one from Enterprise for 2 weeks. I let the wife drive it for the weekend and we both fell in love with it. We went back test drove one, negotiated price, and add ons. We didn't do to bad. They sure had great incentives to buy. So long story short. I now drive the wifes escort to the airport and she drives the brand new Rondo. Its great for camping and hauling around 2 kids. Our 5 yr old loves the very back. He puts his toys and games in the counsels. We do not regret our decision one bit!

Welcome Kepl24 & Nanaimogirl.

Just a quick off topic comment, yet another Enterprise rental customer turned into an owner, they must be Kias best form of advertising in the US!
