We have had ours for a little over a year now and it has been fantastic. Cheap as chips to run and nothing has gone wrong, will have another Kia for sure.
I love mine! I've found nipping around town is easier in lower gears though like in 3rd gear as its noisy and labours in 4th at 30mph. Perfect car for what I want it for though and is easy to drive on the motorway. I can easily get up to 70-75 mph no problem and mine is only a 1litre ☺️☺️
Beautiful spec. Wish we had the same introduced in South Africa. Just got mine yesterday. 2016 1.0 LX model. Good handling and not bad on comfort as well.
I think we need more cars like this in the US. The Chevy Spark is the only decent supermini you can get in the states. The Mirage isn't compelling and the 500 and ForTwo are priced too high for such a vehicle of its size. The Picanto seems very nice, I would just like the pillar between the windows to be matte or gloss black.
Here in Australia we don't even get the additional trim levels - it starts here at $15,000 but the only trim level offered is the base trim level. No satnav, no heated seats/steering wheel, no manual transmission. Why the hell do we miss out on the additional features? At least make them optional! It's winter, it gets into the negatives. Offer this stuff to us.
Harambe The Gorilla but also it sits very well at 75 on the motorway with no fuss, so why would it be underpowered if I can keep up with everyone else (well, those who stick to the limit, as the rest are bell ends who deserve to lose their license). A lot of reviewers think that city cars are incapable of going on the motorway, which if you think about it is crazy when you look back at the cars in the 1970s. How did an 1100 engine ford escort get anywhere as it must have been far too slow for trundling up the M6. Its all bullshit from car reviewers, and nobody except pricks with big egos needs to accelerate stupidly up to ANY speed limit.
After several months I am still loving the car. I have the upgraded stop start engine and on the motorway it cruises fine. FYI I pity the haters who are sucked in by badges and not performance lol
Have a Special edition 2 from the uefa campaign they had in 2016. The one I have with the same options still costs more than what I paid, and I have to say coming from Lexus I was concerned that it was going to be uncomfortable but I love it, yea sure I lost some comforts but I gain much in the economy department :-)
I an Aygo & my wife has the Picanto & the picanto is a great car & it actually feels likeI'm still driving my 2006 focus. The Aygo is better on fuel but thats where it stops, Although Iove the picanto I will be getting its sister the I10 due to its slightly mdified front end.
Our Kia Carnival actually does have heated seats and cooling seats, and we bought ours back in 2016. All of our friends are buying other cars with it thinking that it's all fantastic and new but in reality we've had it all along :)
+ast5515 just projector halogens, all xenons must come with washers (thats how i can tell if they are xenons or not) LED headlights dont for some reason.
Zandah Starick I know, a budget economy car that is only in an ancient 4 speed torque converter automatic, 1985 called, they want their transmission back.
Zandah Starick I don't think we are getting the base picanto, but it's terrible, I would avoid the spark also, GM Korea, formerly daewoo don't have a good reputation for quality, I would just get a second hand VW up, can pick them up for real cheap with low km because no one can drive manual in this country which is why it was terminated here.
Really frustrating to not know the song, i really like it.. I listen to the song in the intro over and over again to find Out which song it is, does someone know?
It looks so cute i have to say and the fact its Korean means it must be more reliable than a Fiat 500 or VW UP with rigged emissions.

do you still have this car??
@@moizmemon2048 no, I now have a Renault Clio
@@LucyGooseyMoses i still have this car
@@LucyGooseyMoses So what was your end conclusion about the kia picanto? Would you buy another one again?
@@dabomb5505 Personally I prefer bigger cars now, but I’d recommend the Kia Picanto yeah

How is the speed on Hill please. What happens on the speed when Ac is on ?

That is one serious kitted car. Great for people who do a lot of city driving imo.

I bought a Picanto in February this year and love it :)
+Ben Be Glad you like it! :)
I got a free unicycle with the Picanto and love it more than the car
z anthony ...story time? ;)
+z anthony I got a horse and buggy and it is tons of fun. More horsepower too.
After several months I am still loving the car. I have the upgraded stop start engine and on the motorway it cruises fine. FYI I pity the haters who are sucked in by badges and not performance lol
What i hate about the car is the speakers. But it's worth the money
The review is great. My mom is getting this by next month :)
+Modern Potato Thanks! Hope she enjoys it :)

The engine sounded very good to me, definitely not coarse, and better than the Rios 1.2 engine for sure
i have black one and i love it
my girlfriend is buying this tomorrow just had to see how small it is, i really can pick it up and throw it into my ford f150 tray xD

kia picanto
How come these car manufacturers don't offer cooling seats for people living in the tropics?
Our Kia Carnival actually does have heated seats and cooling seats, and we bought ours back in 2016. All of our friends are buying other cars with it thinking that it's all fantastic and new but in reality we've had it all along :)
I believe this is gonna be my first car, or should I get the Chevrolet spark 🤔
+Carlitox b If you're looking to get a Picanto, come to our website and see if we can save you some money! www.carkeys.co.uk/kia/picanto/hatchback :)
Is this engine 1.0l or 1.2L?
Esta Muy avanzado para ser pequeño ya extrene uno por fiera se ve pequeño pero por el interior es expectacular
i have this car but it has much less things on it and it's the 1000 engine. it's great in the city but really weak for highway
Are those xenon headlights, or just projector halogens?
+ast5515 just projector halogens, all xenons must come with washers (thats how i can tell if they are xenons or not) LED headlights dont for some reason.
+Graham Reid (Grizzle) The top of the range new Hyundai Tucson have low beam dual LED Headlights and they come with headlight washers
James Gordon His point is that there is no law stating all LEDs need washers, but xenons are required to have washers by law.
ast5515 thanks should have made it a bit more clearer lol.
I did enjoy hiring this little car but I've gone for the puritan Dacia Sandero because I hate modern cars.
Unfortunately we don't get it in manual in Australia.
What the fuck.

and base model only?? what the fuck??? put me right off thanks, i think i'll go with a holden spark

The 1.0 engine is quieter on the motorway than the 1.2 and reviewers like this have no idea what they are talking about. I work for a Kia dealer.
chevloret spark is better

I cant help wonder if you're related to Boris Johnson??😉
