Review
Very nice car to drive and park. With its small size, it's very easy to park and squeeze into small lanes.

However, I got into gearbox issue by 7th year. Changed to a 2nd hand gearbox cost me about RM5K.
A bit disappointing.

What I like
Fuel consumption is reasonable.
Compact interior
Low maintenance cost.

What I do not like
Gearbox issues after 8years.
Air condition not satisfactory.

Review
Really reasonable priced for it's features, fuel consumption is excellent at around 15km/l, and cabin space is pretty reasonable for it's class size. Ride quality was pretty bad, it is extremely slow and unable to do any overtaking, and more of a road hogger. Handling was bad as well, wobbling round corners and higher speed. But all these factors are companioned by the price paid which was negligible.

What I like
Fuel Consumption (15km/l)
Better looking exterior compared to other vehicle of the same price range
Cheap maintenance
Reliable

What I do not like
Slow unresponsive engine
Poor handling
Looks

Review
Test drove the new sports edition Picanto at c&c and to my surprise it's engine is pretty good. Doesnt feel like a 1.1l car, engine is smooth and good enough to get from a to b at a fairly fast speed.

I loved the interior and exterior of this new version, looks sleek and sophisticated! However, the plastic feel seats were a bit fo a disappointment. Still the brakes look great, the steering wheel and gear all lookmuch more classy with the leather wrap.

The exterior rocks as well.

I just wished there is airbags to this little car and perhaps more color choices as c&c only had 2 colours left. I'd also appreciate better seats.

But overall, i loved the car and will be getting one very soon!

What I like
-interior/exterior design
-engine smooth
-price

What I do not like
-seats, too plasticky
-should have a retracting mirror system
-no airbags

Review
Drove my friend's 2 year old pica. wow! beyond my expectation! Interior certainly don't look cheapo, pick-up reasonable, low consumption... If you don't carry 5 pax for most of the time, this is certainly a value for $$$ point A-B car.

What I like
Easy to parallel park, low consumption, nice interior.

What I do not like
Not comfortable with 5 pax.

Review
had been testdriving friend's picanto as i wanted to buy a new car. want a cheap but new car with warranty.

One my friend's car, interior plastic start to have patches after 10 months. Handling is not so good. dun feel good sitting in the car. boot space is also too small. it is lacking many important features like airbags electric mirror etc

In the end decided to buy a Chery A1 instead. looks nicer and cheaper and comes with more features.

What I do not like
handling
plasticky feel
small boot space

Review
Hi all! I went to test drive the picanto during my free time. I find the car rather... stylish! Engine is okay not too underpowered and FC! Simply amazing! It is the same as a Jazz! Incredible! Many said that this would be a good starter and I really think so!

Have a safe drive ahead!

What I like
*Styling-Cute!
*FC-Not bat at all!
*Value for money-Of course! You get what you pay for!

What I do not like
*Engine a little underpowered-But still can live with it!

Review
Good point A-B car. Although it has a small boot space, the rear seat can be collapsed to give you a bigger storage. Rev it up high and you can zip through traffic at ease (dangerous too). It is my own car, and family's 2nd car.

Considering that Singapore do not need really big CC cars for this size, I went for this rather than the swift or Getz, which have higher engine cc. 1.1L saves me a lot on road tax!

What I like
- Strong engine
- Comfortable seats
- Good Handling on steering
- very cold aircon (at near heater already also freezing cold)
- small fuel tank
- Low F/C (15.8km/l for MT)
- Quiet engine even at 110-120km/h (try it at NSHW!)
- Easy to manual wash
- Easy to get spare parts
- Very cheap maintainance
- Cheaper road tax
- Cheapest in this range
- Cheap insurance too...
- RON92 petrol can already!!

With all these cost savings, there is no sacrifice of engine breakdown or whatsoever that causes misery to driving. Thumbs up for this wonderful car!

What I do not like
- Small boot space
- Wiper jerks (but problem solved recently by cleaning glass...)
- Wiper spray too strong, sprayed at car behind (may be good for some people)
- Pick up loses to most cars
- No rear wiper

Review
I drove this car 2 months ago during my friends birthday. When i look at this car, it reminds me of the rainbow. It has wide choice of colors and stlish headlights. I am impressed with the service at Kia motors and will hope to come back again to test drive it.

What I like
Overall,great car
Simple design
Cheap
Steering wheels [it feels simple]
Knockdown rear seats
smooth transmission

What I do not like
No airbags, abs, ebd
May feel floaty at highways.
Take awhile from 0-100 km/h

Review
Picanto is our first car and had driven it for 3yrs now. We initially needed a simple, cheap and nice car to start with. So we tested and look into few models, namely Perodua KELISA, Chevrolet AVEO, Hyundai GETZ/MATRIX, Toyota PASSO/VIOS and Suzuki SWIFT. All these cars has their own good and negative factors. And it takes us months and finally decided to go for PICANTO. Never regret it, its simple, its cheap, its cute and as a starter, it fit our needs.
We had tested our stock condition PICANTO even to its limit by driving 150km/h from TUAS checkpoint all the way up to Malacca non-stop. So far so good, only wear and tear issue like tyres and brakes since we bought it. Fuel wise, meet our expectation.

Its time now we needed to upgrade to a bigger car and always keep ourselves neutral in selecting car regardless if they arent japanesse made. Our korean car did perform. Our next car should sit comfortably for my growing children and as usual, cheap but reliable as a mode of transportation from point A to B.

What I like
1) Simple and cheap to maintained.
2) Nice and cute looking.
3) Compare to other car of the same class, Picanto did outshine the rest in Performance/Economical.
4) Easy handling

What I do not like
1) Good for starter with no children to family of 4.
2) Boot space.
3) Look sportier if comes with Sunroof.
4) Stock tyres to sport 15" probably.

Review
I've been driving a Picanto every now and then these past few months (rental).

What I like most is that it's easy to handle, especially when parking because of its small size.

What I don't like is that the boot size is so small that it cannot even fit my baby's stroller.

Also, it's a bad idea to bring more than 3 people if you're going grocery-shopping. You're gonna need every passenger seat area possible to plonk your groceries as the boot just isn't enough.

Everything else I can live with. No other issue.

I'd recommend this car for non family people on a budget. Definitely not a worthwhile long term investment if you have a family to drive around.

What I like
Easy handling.

What I do not like
Small boot space.

Review
Just collected my Pica 3 weeks ago. I will have to say that it surpass my expectations. Air-con is cold. Handling is excellent. Engine is quiet.

What I like
Cold air-con
handling is swee
Price
cabin is quiet when driving

What I do not like
no auto rear window
pick up sluggish...but its a 1.1....so ok la
manually adjusted side mirror..
rear view mirror too small

Review
If you are looking for a A to B car, the Kia Picanto is perhaps the most cost effective choice our there in the Singapore market right now.

What I like
-Good Fc
-Easy to park
-Good driving position for tall pple
-Continental styling

What I do not like
-Stock brakes mushy
-Stock tires poor grip
-Back windows not auto

Review
Don't be deceived by its small looks, the spacious interior design can fit 5 adults comfortably with average 1.7m. Although some of the common features doesn't come with the original package, it didn't matter to me. Enjoy driving it at all times, feels like my own room. The colors are colorful! A 'personality' car.

What I like
Easy navigation.
Comfortable.
Driving at around 80km/hr can save up to 500km for a 30L tank.
Super value for money!

What I do not like
Slow pick up.
Engine is slightly noisy.
