THE South Korean-made Carens is at the forefront of the small people-mover category in Australia. Already a boom class in Europe, the small people-movers offer less space and usually less seats than the full-size versions, but also a cheaper price. And the Carens is the bargain buy of lot, offering six seats for thousands less than some its rivals. But that's the Kia story - basic transport at very affordable prices. If you want the best quality and latest design technology best look elsewhere.
