2004 Kia Picanto SE review from UK and Ireland
"Well worth it - even if I had paid full price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Paint was blown off of the rear bumper by a pressure wash hose, but fixed without quibble by the dealer.
Rear gear is sometimes difficult to engage.
General comments?
Generally a great and surprising little car.
I bought it as an ex-demo because it was the newest car I could afford - very short of funds and did not expect too much from it - it has surpassed all expectations so far.
It has all the extras and so far it has been superb.
Reasonable handling, good economy - up to 63mpg - worst was 37mpg, but that was a bad couple of days for traffic conditions etc, very good comfort.
