Performance
I had a 1.4 litre golf before the Picanto so the difference in power is noticeable. the car cruises very well at highway speeds.

Living with it
Reliability
Have not had the car long enough to comment.
Image
The Picanto is selling like hot cakes in south Africa. Kia still has a bit of a bad name due to the sub standard cars they used to build but that perception is rapidly changing. Picanto is considered as a bit of a girly car like the Nissan micra.
Comfort
Seats very comfy, but the fabric used is of bad quality. Car well insulated from wind and road noise. high ceiling makes for a spacious environment.

Security and Service
Security
The locking button on the key is very sensitive to the touch.
Service
Kia RSA service not up to scratch!
