General comments?
The picanto was the worst purchase in my entire life I've had nothing, but problems with it since I bought it in the past 2 years I have spent nearly 2000 pounds on repairs and a crazy amount of money on petrol I'm having to fill up 10 pounds every day I've have been to kia they say there is nothing wrong with the car I have been to other garages and the find something faulty everytime I am highly disappointed about this car and I warn people to steer clear.
