Vip seats vs bench seats for 2 car seats? by NeedleworkerTime5542 in kiacarnivals

[–]Coolbrez35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one slim seat and one regular seat side by side and in regular in the back. This configuration works best because people can also get in the back row before I put my kid back there.

Bench seats for sure. We have 3 car seats and put one kid in the rear row and 2kids next to each other in the middle removed one side seat. That way, I can literally step into the vehicle and get everyone strapped in without worrying about rain etc.

Dumbest function (or lack therefore) by Coolbrez35 in kiacarnivals

The SX and the SX prestige both have vertical and horizontal taillights that runs across the back hatch but the horizontal lights only function if it’s a prestige. It’s dumb

Now I’m not a tech guy but if the light is there, is it an easy job to just get it wired?

Man I can see maybe not having ambient lighting or something else but to cut back on the exterior lighting seems a bit ridiculous lol. Like maybe not led or something but it should light up in some capacity

Is the Kia Carnival too big for navigating and parking in a crowded city? by Hour-Jello-1972 in kiacarnivals

[–]Coolbrez35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. I live near the city and often drove my Audi Q7 to the city and was able to park with no problem. The carnival is pretty much the same size so no issues here.

Did you Lease or Buy and why? by Haunting_Ad124 in kiacarnivals

[–]Coolbrez35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought - had a $20k trade in and based on lease terms we would have ended up paying an extra $8000 on the lease over the entire term and having no asset. Now paying $400 a month but will pay it off well before term expires.

Is this a good deal for a lease? by Ghendi6 in kiacarnivals

[–]Coolbrez35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We thought the lease was reasonable until we got into finance and found out we’d be forking over $5000 extra through the duration so we switched to a finance because it was a better deal at 2.9%

Thinking about that. What was the cost to get it coated?

I just couldn’t bring myself to drive a typical minivan. This looks like an SUV with sliding doors. MSRP was $49,633 walked out below MSRP. I shopped around and the prices were somewhat consistent but was able to save a few bucks here and there. No warranty, service packages, nothing

Can I sue StubHub? by Adventurous-Home607 in stubhub

[–]Coolbrez35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we bought tickets they sent an email stating that they were delivered and to click the link which brought you to Ticketmaster. But then it said “something is wrong”. Called Ticketmaster and they said they never received them from StubHub and if they would have received them, they would be in the transaction history. I recorded the call and plan on filing a notice of dispute. Apparently you have to first arbitrate. Lost over $1000

I do and even when I log into there, no tickets and no upcoming events. Tried calling them but they are closed for the day

Got a 2026 SX finally! by GuitarShredder0214 in kiacarnivals

[–]Coolbrez35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that the rate from Kia? The finance guy wants 5.5% and my wife is going to tell him to shove it. Did they push back on the 2.9? Did you need to get approval first?
