Oh come on. There is plenty of space on offer, especially if you consider the competition. And anyway, you can't expect from a car this size to be as spacious as a VW polo. It simply can't ...
To be completely honest as an overall package the picanto is probably better then the vw up/seat mii atlist in everything that comes to design, practicality and value for money. The only advantage the up has is its tsi engine. But how can i as a costumer trust a manufacturer which give me only 2 years of worrnty? It seems as if vw dont trust themselves that their cars are reliable... Its a big issue no one talks about in car review's
He mentioned it in the Range Rover Velar video last week if I remember correctly. I guess it's only mentioned if the Brand does poorly on their driver power surveys
I got a sense of deja vu when he mentioned the steering being nice, light and direct with good feedback in contrast to the i10 for the second time in the vid.
'My knees are brushing against the front seat and headroom is tight' then shows he can fit his hands between his knees and seat plus showing loads of headroom. Used to like your reviews but you seem to chat some rubbish recently. The Kia Picanto seems a decent car!
Why are people are so obsessed with 'in car sat nav' you prorably pay 600 more for that thing which does a worse job if you could just buy a phone holder and install android auto on your smartphone .
I purchased the GT Line S model in white and I am really pleased with it. It has loads of big car features, great build and really fun to drive. I have the 1.25 manual and it goes well if you do lots of long journeys it could do with some more power but short trips and around town its perfect. My last new car was a Golf GTI also in white and it was never noticed but everyone loves this car.
I own this car. The stereo has 4 by 4 inch cones , which is unheard of, as nearly all cars have 6 inch cones. There are No tweeter speakers at all. I had the amplifier and speakers replaced and the car is appealing. The stereo fitter was impressed at the joins between the panels and said that the car was not made on the cheap. In Australia, the car has 4 stars safety as the pedestrian safety is only 4 stars, and Australia awards the same stars as the least scoring category. The car drives sure-footedly. The spare wheel is undersized which is a slight problem in the vast distances of Australia, where the spare limit speed of 80km/hr will cause stress on the highways. The steering wheel does not telescope out or adjust, so unless you have boxer length arms, the position may be a problem. All that aside, the car is a real surprise, and having replaced the audio amplifier and speakers, I am very pleased.
Jesus James this is rediculous.. this car has just as much room as the Ford fiesta if not a little more. But in this car it's tight. Is that because it's a Kia??
Who actually respects James Batchelor reviews as worthwhile?? The guy is so anti "Normal Car" I cannot continue to watch these videos for actual information.
I haven’t driven a picanto since I hired one on holiday in Spain like 8 years ago and it was the older 1.1, never driven one prior and being new to left hand drive it was quite nice to drive even on their higher speed roads to travel to other cities and at that time back in England I owned a 1.8 mg sports car so was a big change, was a pretty nippy car and very economical, never been in these new ones, but the GT-Line looks really cool, probably not suitable for 3 kids, but I wouldn’t buy a 2017 plate one due to tax increase, need the one from last year where it’s £20-30 for the year.
just recently got my drivers license. i cannot wait to get my first car even though i only have R10 in my account!!!!! can i just win a car or something
All the reviews use the GT Line which does not sell as it has very jostly 16" wheels and vinyl seats - yuk! And the styling is awful. Go for the 3 spec, which I have in automatic. Its a proper torque converter not an automated manual or dual clutch nightmare. Just great.
Are you seriously going to say that your knees are "brushing up against the seat in front" ?! Name ONE car in the class that is more spacious that the Picanto! And even if there is, for the love of God, what do you expect?? It is a bloody CITY CAR. You really should be more realistic...
tight for space?!I wonder if Kia have missed of bits of kit because their customer base claims not to want it (eg new Nissan Micra and lack of rear electric windows). Or in other words, penny pinching.The traditional automatic gearbox will prolly outlast a twin (or single) clutch automated system (eg, vw DSG or ASG).
Hi. First time car buyer just got my L's was wondering if the cheapest non GT, standard S line has any way to connect a phone for music, preferably Bluetooth but aux/line in is fine too
Hi James I'm sorry that I was a little bit hard at you last time I comment. This time the review was soooo much better. I still think you are one of the better presenter. It could be that you take the car for what it is, if it is a cheep car you get alot of plastic ☺ and I agree that the 1 liter 3 cylinder turbo charge petrol engine is the right choice for any city car (If you haven't notis english isn't my first language ☺) Keep up the great work 👍🏼👊🏼
Just had a 1.25 gt line as a rental, gearbox is a light slush box, steering is so light it’ll go on full lock if a feather lands on it and has zero feel. So much of this review doesn’t make sense after I just spent 24 hours and 200 miles with this thing.
Well we know now for sure that it's all scripted as you just repeated yourself twice using the same exact words and expression. Also what are you talking about your knees were far away from the seat in front of you and head space was ok.
This guy is a joke, i have picanto gt line and if you are looking for a city car witch this baldie dont say, is the best option and have 6 years warranty
