- Also, the Screens do not yet have screen protectors designed and the seats or car seat may contact them often. However, with a hotspot connected, it's nice to have all of my media there, and they connect to all types of bluetooth devices.
- Having seen this in person, I wish it were a little raised and I also wish the height of the window between the C and D pillars was as tall was the window between the B and C pillars. Having said all that, it is still the best looking minivan to have ever been made
- I am not satisfied with my Kia Carnival during snow even with winter tyres..In snow if any hill comes, I don’t have the confidence to stop.. if you stop then reverse back to the same level road and give full acceleration to cover it .. Don’t tell it is lack of driving skills.. We should expect these problems with FWD. it is utter waste to compare with AWD with full winter tires.. During snow if the road is not clean it will go like a snake especially in traffic .. please don’t praise too much because I have Kia Carnival and talking from my experience 😊
