Kia Picanto 2009

5 star review

The Kia Picanto is the best. It is my first car and I dont have any regrets. Great value for money it has a strong engine, with 4 cylinders unlike other compacts (i10, celerio, alto) that only have 3. It has a cute exterior as well and a good design, very roomy on the inside, feels like a size of a sedan inside, actually it is like a sedan that doesn’t have a trunk.

Kia Picanto LX 2005

4 star review

Just completed 62000 miles in my Picanto and about to Part-ex. Showing signs of mileage now. Parts don’t tend to last long in particular brake pads. Make sure you get the dealer to throw in a spare tyre the foam kit Kia give instead of a spare tyre is useless.

Kia Picanto 1.1 3 5dr 2007

5 star review

I love my Picanto, it’s such a good car and at a price that doesn’t break the bank! Really affordable to run too. Great nippy little mover and comes with an ipod socket so all mod cons. Loads more space than I expected. Absolutely can’t rave about it enough.

Bargain price and no compromise! Roomy inside, well equipped with air con, C.D player and electric windows. A good buy.

Kia Picanto 1.1 LS 5dr

4 star review

Really nicely designed little car. I’m very pleased with it’s performance but have noticed that it’s not as comfortable on the motorway as it is nipping around town. I very rarely do any long journeys so for me it’s not really a problem but may be a consideration for other users. It’s really very good value for money and wonderfully cheap to insure and run.
