2004 Kia Picanto SE review from UK and Ireland
"Very good all round car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car since bought new.
General comments?
The gearbox is very good, but gets a lot of use due to low power from the engine, fifth gear hardly used, exept on motorways.
Alloy wheels are inferior quality and very hard to keep clean.
