They're amazing! I drove a 12 hour road trip and felt like I had a first class seat on a plane. The best car seats I have ever used.

But I worry about durability, and it is nice and comfortable. I think all those motors and adjustments sound like they could break.

For parents they're a game changer. I wouldn't be able to swivel and pay attention to the kids in the back and be comfortable.

It still feels like a big box on wheels to me. Not as nimble as a proper SUV, but better than old school minivans.

The steering is nice and weighted, but when you're driving a car this big you can't avoid the physics. It's comfortable, not sporty.

I was worried, coming from an SUV, but the Carnival actually feels more planted on the road. Less body roll than I was expecting.

What it is is fine, but it's not fun to drive. It’s a people mover and it works.

I love the ride is super smooth. For a family vehicle, who cares about sporty handling?
Could the Kia Carnival’s fuel efficiency be a deal breaker for potential buyers?

I want that to be better, but I can live with the rest of the Carnival. It feels as luxurious as no other minivan.
