Dear friends at this forum.... this is my first post in this forum and hope to join you guys/gals for a good time!
Got my Kia Carens last week. All was fine except some disappointment about the auto trans and the fuel consumption!
The auto trans gear shift seems so stiff and plunge to higher gear lower rev so fast that the car could sustain the necessary torque to go (especially uphill....)
The fuel consumption was also horrible, even after I add in the compensation for the differences in the size of the tyres... I am get so little km/litre that I am so embarassed to post! The specs says about 10-11 ...
I understand that new cars needs run-in but I don't that it is so bad... if any can help me on these questions, I would be most appreciative!
Cheers
