I don’t have one but I know lots of families that are getting one or have gotten it and they LOVE it

I have a 2021 Kia Carnival SLi
I absolutely love it.
It’s really nice to drive & considering how big it is, easy to park.
The boot is quite roomy, you can fit lots of shopping in but as I have a city select pram I struggle to get groceries in as well. But in saying that I’ve managed to fit in a kids 16”bike with training wheels on while the pram was in there, so it’s more likely I need to pack it better!
Fuel economy is fabulous, mine is a diesel & I get about 750/800km on a tank roughly with day to day driving.
Initially I thought I was going to hate it but the new ones are so stylish, they look and feel like a SUV.

Did you look at some review pages -maybe choice made one on this car?

Got a friend who does and she is very happy with it, specially the room for the kids at the back and pram

Nope, a brand new car is something that’s way out of my price range

I’ve had a Kia carnival in the past, not one from 2021. And yes, the Kia Carnival is a good minivan. It has a capable V6 engine, gets good gas mileage, and delivers a relaxed ride and poised handling. The interior looks great, with upscale materials and three spacious rows of seats. There’s lots of cargo room, including a class-leading total behind the third-row seats.
