Kia Picanto review - CarBuyer

Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/kia/picanto/2004-2011-micro-car/review

The Kia Picanto doesn't pretend to do anything clever; it's a cheap and cheerful four-person runabout. As long as those four people don't have too many bags, because the boot is tiny, and you're not planning many long motorway trips, the Picanto will perform admirably. Its two petrol engine options are only 4bhp apart, oddly, and they're both better below 60mph or so. However, the car's small turning circle, good visibility, abundant headroom and comfortable seats make it a sensible buy. There's the seven-year warranty too, which is particularly brilliant for an inexpensive little car.

u should work for top gear ! or should i say top gear should start working for u.. because you're an excellent car reviewer

[barnechea]

excellent review. Keep it up mate!

[Duron13]

Saying he should work for Top Gear is stupid. Top Gear is a show and Clarkson, May and Hammond are entertainer while Matt is a true journalist, giving real and good advice on cars.
