I so wanna pick up a turbo charged Picanto later this year.

Why do all car reviews show the front for 95% of the time, we wanna see the rear too...

Best looking City car inside and out imo.

Glad you mentioned the 'fun' factor. Add that to the mix and Kia would have my attention-again. The lack of it in the Rio was the soul reason I got shut in the end-t'was a dead drive.

One thing you have to know: I LOVE KIA PICANTO GT LINE

Horrid audio. I dont care if i can see the individual clearly, i want to hear what he is saying.

I know manufacturers pick car names based on not having a negative meaning in other languages, not having similar names on the market, etc. I think Kia could do better. Spice is fine, meaning of Picante in Portuguese/Spanish... but it sounds so unappealing to me. If I wanted to really force it, Pica+Canto, it would then become Singing Dick.. What a great name!

Hope they sell these upgraded ones in Australia. Too many whiney millennials wanna have their cake n eat it - cry about the "unaffordable housing market", yet they manage to take holidays overseas & buy new Volkswagens, Audi's & Mercs. This looks decent & at least you know it's got 7 years trouble free motoring behind it, unlike competitors.

The GT-line and X-line are stupid looking, you want the 3. It looks best in black but it looks bigger in white!

Weak computer box don't patronize Kia
