2005 Kia Picanto LX review from UK and Ireland
"Value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Crankshaft pulley replaced at 12000 miles under warranty after loud vibration and power loss.
General comments?
Sharp brakes take getting used to.
Reversed light / washer stalks confusing vs. our other car.
Petrol consumption disappointing as mentioned by others - 42-43 mpg average (used for commuting by 2 adults, 60% on exposed, hilly, fast Scottish dual carriageway.)
Accidental operation of key fob is a nuisance! Operates from pocket inside house.
Otherwise happy.
Use other car for large shopping!
