Kia Picanto
Kia Picanto
Any thoughts on the new Kia Picanto? Very little choice in the range in Ireland , only manual or automatic but both are highly specced. My OH has a Hyundai I10 deluxe which we're thinking of updating, first inclination is to go Hyundai again but when you look at the equivalent specs, the Hyundai is quite a bit dearer than the Kia and has a shorter warranty period, 5 years as opposed to 7 years, although it does have cruise control which the Kia doesn't. Not a deal breaker but very handy all the same. I don't know much about Kia but as far as I can see from the net, they and Hyundai are sister companies, and the I10 and the Picanto are actually built on the same chassis.
Re: Kia Picanto
Extra warranty period would win out for me against cruise control . Cant say I am familiar at all with either makes, I am still stuck back in the 60's with VW's
