2005 Kia Picanto review from Indonesia
"An unreliable small car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car is powerless. With 1.1L the car is like a car equipped with 1/2 litre engine. Compared to my other car with 1.5L engine, its power is just half of that car.
The most terrible thing is that its fuel consumption is much more inefficient than that of my other car. This car consumes 1L fuel for just 11km while my 1.5L car can run for 16km for a liter gasoline.
The engine sound is very noisy compared to my other 1.5L car. This is strange because what I heard that KIA has already improved the quality of their cars.
General comments?
Now I know that in general, Japanese cars are much superior than any Korean cars.
