2006 Kia Picanto LX review from Romania
"Very pleasant surprise, I'll defintely buy KIA again when Piky will be "tired".."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake pump problems after 14.000 km.
Except for this, absolutely nothing after 15.200 km.
General comments?
Very comfortable for its size, very reliable, acceptable engine performance with the right type of gasoline.
Funny little car, good fuel consumption, but I use the A/C a lot during summer, so I don't care so much about 1 or 2 extra liters of gas...
Small trunk, but enough room inside, for a car of that size. Maximum speed: 162 kmh, but very pleasant to drive at 100-120 kmh... A little noisy when going over 300 RPM... loud music is the only solution to that problem :) ) ) )
Roads in Romania are not very good, so I find very useful that it's good and easy handling... although I'm a man... I recommend it to ladies, also... really easy to drive.
Reliable, indeed!
