2007 Kia Picanto reviews

Kia Picanto ice 2007

Rubbish. Air con leaked from new. Washer bottle leaks when filled to top on connection. Rear suspension changed 3 times and they still squeak in warm weather. Front anti roll bar bushes sound terrible when driving over speed bumps. Stereo has intermitent glitches. Rear brake drum replaced as faulty. New Picato has rear brake shoes and no longer the discs. New Picanto only has 2 seats in the back, not 3. Metal body work is paper thin. This car will dent by just touching it. Everything rattles inside. Fuel gauge sometime does not show full when filled right up. Engine makes loud squeal sound when started in winter in cold. This car is my first new car ever and has been the only one that has caused me problems. It has only covered 19,000 miles. Kia can’t resolve issues and Kia UK never reply to letters of complaints to them. Servicing expensive. If you go to main dealer for 7 years to keep warranty in place the servicing will cost you £1000’s. Chevy gives you 5 years free warranty, servicing and breakdown cover. I will be switching to them.
