Kia Picanto 1.0 GS 5d (2005/05) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
£6k for a brand new, funky little car with lots of features, including MP3 player. Can't go wrong at this price.
Costs
Too new to say, but it's frugal and group 2 insurance, so it won't burn too much of a hole in the pocket.

Driving
The engine is very quiet and refined. The driving position is excellent and the car is genuinely fun to drive. Don't expect pace though, I could cycle faster than the car!
Performance
It really is slow, but it's fun around the corners. The brakes are superb - all round discs with ABS.

Living with it
Reliability
Too new to say, but Kia's are generally good.
Image
Better than previous generation Kia's, but it still has little Kudos.
Comfort
For such a small car, the interior is very well laid out. The seats are supportive and with the foot rest it all makes for a relaxed and comfortable drive.

No alarm, but immobiliser.
