Asked by Rob Kury
I AM considering buying a second-hand 2003 Kia Carnival LS V6. What is your opinion of this vehicle?
Answered by CarsGuide
11 Sep 2008BE CAREFUL with the Carnival as they have had lots of trouble with the head gaskets on the V6. Kia has generally been pretty good at rebuilding cooked engines at no cost, but there are reports some Carnivals have had repeat failures even after being rebuilt.
