2004 Kia Picanto SE review from UK and Ireland
"Robust and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stereo broke at 15000 miles approx.
Air con went very smelly at 20 000.
Clutch cable seized at 30 000.
Crankshaft recall at 30 000.
General comments?
My picanto is a driving school car and takes a lot of abuse.
It fares up very well to this and is proving very reliable.
It is very comfortable and roomy and I can spend all day sat in it with ease.
