Ownership: Over a year

Plus points: Air conditioning. Good storage for a car in this class

Minus Points: Fuel economy could be better for a car this size. Spare tyre should have been included the repair kits should never have been invented.

Your Review: I have owned my Picanto for about 5 years and have only ever had one small problem and that was the throttle position sensor. The dealer repaired this under warranty. My car has done just over 80,000 miles and still drives like new ! the only things I have spent on is normal service and one set of break pads.

This is a value car it drives well (but don’t expect miracles). It manages town and motorway journeys with no problems and will cruise at 70-80 all day long whilst returning 40-45 miles to the gallon. Storage in the car is good which makes up for a lack of boot space(to be fair that’s expected with a small car) I particularly like the draw under passenger seat and glasses case on drivers side. I would buy another Kia it is a fantasticly reliable motor that I will own for many years more
