Carnival is a very honest car.

The perfect car for the job, strong enough, smooth driving, very convenient. I found even consumption very reasonable considering the size of the vehicle.

As I understand it, it is specifically the lack of AWD that allows for the deep tub that the third row folds in to. This is in comparison to the Hyundai Staria which is basically the same platform, it has AWD when paired with diesel, but you lose the fold down third row.

Love my poverty pack carnival. Great for the 5 grand kids, Nan & Pa. Great exercise closing those sliding doors. The Diesel engine is fantastic. The Best cruse control I have ever used, holds the vehicle at the set speed even going down Bulli pass. Brilliant car.

The Carnival would be the perfect vehicle for carting the Ming Mols around to Night Club's, Beauty Salon's, beach, and Photo shoot's as required.

Different topic, what are your thoughts on the Toyota Hydrogen Centre and what will come of it down the road in your opinion?

Hey John, great report, my 2017 Jaguar XE (I know) has a rotary dial - not exactly the same - but the cup holders and the parking brake switch are in identical positions. Go figure.

John, just on the false positives with the collision warning system... My 2019 Mazda 3 has gotten a lot better over time. I can't find any information on the system, but considering the changes to the way it drives semi-autonomously (start-stop + lane keep assist) and the false positives over the 24,000km I've done so far, I believe it to be a learning system. Now, it almost never gives a false positive and the semi-autonimous driving has become much more smooth and intuitive. Given the evidence presented to me, I think these systems learn over time. Thanks for the video!

JC, is it just the camera angle, or is the 20-20 FO logo printed on that shirt off centre? On another note, I carry a full size spare when towing the caravan with our CX-9. Not only is the space saver crap and limited for speed, it's also limited for distance and - wait for it - only to be used on the rear wheels! Add all those restrictions together, throw in a couple of public holidays with no tyre shops open (like we're blessed with this weekend) and it's a recipe for the kids setting new car-counting records at the roadside whilst you wait for whatever help you can muster.

Shirt logo centred. (Who cares?) But agreed on all those tyre points. Totally impractical space saver - again.

I have a question not about this video but I dont actually know whats the best way to get a question to you... so here it is...is it beneficial for my automatic transmission to put it into neutral whilst I'm waiting at the lights or just stationary, rather than leaving it in drive...?

It is possible to remove the outboard centre row seats, but yeah the wiring harness is a pain, primarily due to the strain relief anchors (and I broke one of them). You are also at risk of squishing the wires when you are putting the seats back in because the seats are pretty heavy.

I appreciate your comments regarding the switch gear. As a geek, that's the sort of thing that I notice and often lament even in "premium products". I am curious about the decision to go with the rotary control for the transmission. Is this just for interior packaging efficiency? Does it allow for a common SKU for LHD and RHD variants? I am sure it is nice, but the shifter in the current model Kia Seltos feels and operates so well that I feel they could have just stuck with that formula.

Hey bud... have you done a review on a VW Golf R? I’m tossing up between a STI and the R.

Hey John. Toyota Granvia VX versus the new Carnival ?

I'm thinking of buying one even though we're a family of 3 hahaha. Is it true that in Platinum trim, wireless android/carplay and virtual cockpit isn't available just yet due to some licensing or something of the nature? We were about to pull the trigger on the Sorrento till we saw this.

Speaking of forward collision warning.... I was driving a Holden Caprice a few months ago, and it had that feature. I didn't have many false alarms on the front... but the REAR. Ever time i would overtake a car, when i pulled back into the left lane, a few car lengths ahead of the car I'd just passed, it's Rear collision warning would go apeshit. I'm guessing the rear sensor was just looking directly straight back. "No car in lane, No car in lane" then when you pull back in "HOLYSHIT A CAR! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM!?"

Completely agree the gear switch is great.... however John, perhaps you can explain the complete pointlessness of the park brake control. Surely, in Park, brake on, in drive or reverse, brake off. No need for the control at all, it’s just an annoyance.

Carnival unnecessarily hit the brakes on me three times reversing out the driveway, and FCM went crazy as I crept up the driveway toward our Sportage. Just as well I too thought it was utterly brilliant in all the right ways. That 2.2 diesel will spin the wheels if you ask it nicely.

"Club Seating" not available down under? I can't seem to find where it IS available. I looked at US spec'd (hope that passes punctuation muster) vehicles and see we get "lounge seating" with recline and large thigh support...irrelevant to hauling children. Might have to check what the poverty package 2022 Carnival offers here in America. Had there been "reversible" seats in row 2, I think that's a far superior design for small children as a safety offering and heck, in military aircraft we traditionally rode "backwards" as a practical arrangement. Maybe in 2023.

Re space saver spare on a Carnival. It cannot be used when heavily loaded nor can it be used on gravel roads. I had to take a Carnival wheel (In my Falcon) over 80km of gravel road, each way, to get it repaired and return it to the owner. Otherwise, they are a great vehicle and that V6 is a great engine.

I see a lot of delivery drivers. Whichever manufacturer bites the cost of adding remote doors and tails will have sales coming out of their arse. Cuts out a repetitive task and would make the workflow so much smoother, maybe even save a hour in the working week.
