The current Carnival is a bloody good car for its intended purpose and there is simply nothing on the road for the ptice that offers such function in a people mover. That is why it outsells the rest. Talk to current owners of the hyundai powered V6 and they love their cars. It annoys the crap out of me that people must continually trudge up history when relating to new cars. There is a thread regarding the rover engined models. Go post there if you have a gripe. Finally an educated poster.

It has 8 seats and still plenty of space in the back (keep in mind overseas this model has a fourth row and is sold as a 12 seater). I recommend test driving one of these as well as the Kia. We love our one, drives well and if you are lucky will find one second hand like we did for a great price. Hi Kerry

We went to the 6cyl which are hard to find but discovered they only have a cream interior (not good with 3 boys in the country). That left the Kia as we needed 3 seats in the second row. We are currently looking at the Grand Carnival 2.9l diesel. Does anyone have any feedback on these vehicles.
