We bought this new as a cheap new small car , it was £6400 on the road. It is basic with no AC but has electric front windows , spare wheel. It also has ESR as it is a 2011 model. On a run it will do 50 mpg . It is small and you get little in the boot. It does have foir doors and I have travelled in teh back - not too far.
Although quite slow it does nip along and will travel at the speed limits incluind motorways. You do have to work the gears on hills though. It is amazing to park and will go into tiny spaces. It is ideal for town use and shortish journeys.
It was fine in winter with a good heater and never lost grip. No probles so far and seems to be well built for its money.

This is the second Piccanto I have had and although the electric windows have gone at the back its pretty much same as first one.
I had the first one three years with no problems this one for two for the money and warranty you now get 7 years I will be looking at another one in a years time.
Its not great on acceleration so long journey's we use the other car but for school runs shopping and short trips its ideal easy to park good on petrol.

We looked around at several car manufacturers before settling on the Picanto. All in all the extras included and the build quality of this car put it ahead of most of the competition.

Our car is new. Time will tell how it fares on service costs and durability. I would also question its second hand retail value in a few years time.

The petrol economy claimed by Kia is certainly for our model incorrect. I have found it to be thirstier than our previous car a 1.3 Ford Ka.

Chic, comfortable and excellent value for money this is a good town car.
