Kia Picanto (2004 - 2011) 1.1 LX 5d (2005/55) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everybody is amazed at how roomy it is.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definitely I love it.

What are you likely to buy next?

I need to change to an automatic because of my health problems and if I had the choice I would buy the same car in an auto.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

June 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes I was part exchanging my previous car and the dealer matched what I wanted to pay on top of the p/ex.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted to downsize and it had to be easy to get in and out of as I have mobility problems.

What was the dealer like?

Very nice best used car dealer I have bought from.

What's it like to drive?

Very easy to drive and manouver around town, haven't taken it on a motorway but I would expect it to be quite happy, cruises along at 60mph quite comfortably.

What's it like to park?

Its size makes it pretty easy to park even though parking is not my forte.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Had to replace a sensor which apparently is quite common and was a bit expensive.

What's most practical about your car?

Reliable, easy to manouver with enough acceleration when required. Feels very spacey on the inside for a car of its size, with the rear seats folded down can get loads in it. Even my 6ft friend can sit in it quite comfortably.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Air conditioning.
