2005 Kia Picanto LX review from Singapore
"I probably expected too much in a 1.1 litre car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Auto door locking mechanism failed. at 5200km ODO.
General comments?
This car cannot make it in terms of acceleration throughout the whole operating RPM range.
Handling is terrible. Cornering speed is at 50kph on the max to negotiate a 80deg turn else the car felt like flipping over.
