Yep i had one 3 years ago 2litre diesel turbo very fast diesel and i thot a good tow car.It had plenty torque and road holding was good, in my humble opinion,shame kia does not hold their price as they are great value for money..
I,ve had 2 Kia Carens Mk2 & Mk3, no problems tow a Elddis Riviera 482 1200kg, keep them seviced and they are OK, 138BHP 6 speed gearbox, 30mpg towing 40mpg plus solo.
