I've been driving the Kia Carens Diesel for a year now and have clocked 8000 km. It's a perfect Highway vehicle for a big family giving a mileage of 18. I use it for my office journey as well every day and even though it looks big, it navigates easily in the city with a great automatic gearbox - easily gives 12-13 in the city. Overall a perfect multi-purpose vehicle. Parking may be an issue at prime locations given the size.
