Summary

Average. Cheap and cheerful - the bargain Picanto combines ultra-keen pricing with good space, plenty of kit and a reasonable driving experience.

Styling

Unlikely to win any awards, but cute front end gives the Picanto far more visual charisma than its mostly box-like rivals.

Handling

Modest grip levels limit the Picantos dynamic case, although it remains predictable as the limit approaches.

Comfort

A reasonably compliant ride and a well-finished cabin make the Picanto a decent place to spend time - the only real issue is with the cramped driving position.

Quality

Cheap construction and some very shiny cabin plastics - but tough, durable feeling and backed up by Kias excellent warranty.

Performance

Basic 1.0 litre engine feels very slow at anything above gentle in-town use. 1.1 litre is better, but gets noisy under hard acceleration.

Roominess

Cabin space is class competitive, although the tiny boot isnt up to holding much. Split-fold rear seat is standard, unlike some cut-price rivals.

Costs

Strong fuel economy, cheap insurance and very competitively priced servicing makes the Picanto one of the cheapest cars on the road to run.

Value

For the money you cant do better - despite being cheaper than most of its city car rivals, the Picanto boasts more equipment than almost all of them.

Stereo

Stereo has fiddly buttons and tinny sound, although CD player is standard. Satnav isnt an option.

Added Extras

Central Locking, Electric Windows, Power Steering
