Lovely. I had a Picanto EX (R125 000 brand new) up to 130 000km, but now have a Haval H1. If you want a new vehicle, have a look at the Suzuki Baleno GL (cruise control, bluetooth, reverse radar ...) for R230 000.
Cars used to be so affordable , how the times have changed , I reviewed the Baleno 2 months ago and I have to say for its price the Baleno is great value for money.
this picanto is beyond great actually, I'd like to know how it's like to drive this. but then swift is still my go to when it comes to such "vehicles" 👊
@@mrhowmuch for me it's a safe car for a woman to drive at a reasonable price. Not everyone can afford an expensive car. As a mother you need a car that is simple to understand, a car that doesn't feel too long or too high. Dropping kids in the morning on a busy traffic can be daunting. Kids forget things, u need to make a quick u- turn or park quick . That can be frustrating with all the bells yelling at you. Sometimes you ask yourself if you can be able to teach your 16 year old how to drive now and then. The pedals are very light. After 40 years as a woman the knees are no longer strong enough for hard pedals. I wish these manufacturers would come from that approach when designing cars.
True Akhona, the Picanto and Grand i10 aren’t the affordable budget cars they used to be that’s I consider the X-Line to be a premium car with a premium price tag.
Ola mjita 👍👍 I will definitely go for the Suzuki Swift GLX mainly for the added practicality, yes I think the Picanto looks cool and the sunroof is the cherry on top but functionality is more important than cosmetics.
Nearly all the comments on this post have referenced Suzuki , it just goes to show that quality products at affordable prices will always win the hearts of the people.
@@mrhowmuchHi Bongs , please help , I'm a first time driver like never driven b4 and I was planning on getting a A- 200 around 2015-18 , ppl are discouraging me and are saying it's a big car and I can't start with luxury , I must start small ? But small is as expensive as an A class when we look at the numbers so I'm really confused and would appreciate your feedback 🥺
You’re Mercedes Benz’s number one fan bro , you’d go with a Merc no matter what other option you’re given 😂😂😂 France and Brazil are looking unbeatable , Argentina would really have to bring their A game to win against either one of those two.
Hi. Great review! May I please ask if you test drove the automatic? I wanted to trade my manual picanto in cause it’s not practical with JHB traffic. But with the 4 speed and considering it’s engine is small, I am a bit skeptic on trading. How does it drive? Especially on the highway ( If you did test drive it)
Honestly Kia is doing the most lately. The new Sportage still has me shook. Though I'd take the Swift in this case only cause I like how it looks better than I like the Kia's looks. That said this Kia Picanto is an exceptional car for its price. Let me be honest. I'd choose to struggle and take that C Class😭
😂😂😂😂love the C class part , I'm a first time driver and ppl are discouraging me from buying a A-200 , I want 2015-18 , so I'm really discouraged so I'm looking into these but not that interested
It's a nice looking car but even as a single driver who does not carry passengers, it's too small. I am currently looking at a Rio or mark 5 VW Polo, and think it will be the Polo because it is roughly the size of the mark one Skoda Fabia that I drive now.

Thank you for the review❤❤ I love small cars I just love oTonqo nje but my problem I work in a rural area😢 and buying a Picanto won’t be a great move…I’m car shopping as it is but ay I keep looking at the Picantos Grand i10 and Suzuki Celerios😂😂😂😂😂😂 Plus I love a car with a sunroof😂😂
To be honest I think I would take my chances with a high mileage German car aswell just for the size and engine performance , but for peace of mind motoring the Picanto would be the one to go for.
If it weren't for the 4 speed auto, I'd definitely consider it but at that point I may as well play loud bee noises on the radio to compete with the noise of the engine trying to switch to imaginary 5th gear 😂 Definitely just get the manual and live with changing gears. But for me I'd prefer the bigger car and get the Swift GLX
I completely understand, entry level automatics aren’t the best , I’d like to take this one on test drive to see how it is , but I’ve had experience with the Suzuki AMT when I hired a Dzire back in 2019 when I was in Cape Town , it would roll back on steep hills , so I want to drive the current Swift GLX to find out if the AMT has improved since then.
@@mrhowmuch I hear that 👏🏼 I test drove the picanto x line amt and the noise was annoying for me and it just sounded like the engine was ready to give in, especially on the highway.
With this price I can get a nice high milage Polo 9n3 GTi and be left with a change to get myself a good 1995 high mileage C class and still be left with some change
For the price of the X-Line there are honestly so many options , whether its brand new cars like the Baleno or used cars like the Polo Gti you mentioned the choices are plenty.
if ever someone from Suzuki saw this comment section , they’d be very happy. I’m just hoping we get to see France vs Brazil , it would be an interesting one
That’s true at it’s price point it has serious competition from much bigger cars , even a low mileage Kia Rio would be a good alternative for those who want to stay within the brand.
It's nice, but it's too small. And the Rio has a lot of plastic finishes, not as much as its cousin the i20 but still the built in quality isn't good, for me. At that price, a low mileage Suzuki Baleno GLX would be value for money. I don't know why anyone would buy this car, unless you're a new driver. 266k? Ngeke.
I'm in love 😍😍😍😍
I don't care about the size, I want that sunroof.
Louisa I can confidently say it’s the best looking car in its segment 👌🏾
I ended up buying this and it's soooo awesome, no regrets!
Kia Picanto X-Line..
My dream car😍😍🚙🚙👌🏼👌🏼

Does it come with a sunroof

You should book a test drive at a Kia near you , but from my own experience the Picanto drives very well.
The Suzuki Swift review is coming soon Josh.
Love this Kia. Very easy to park for us new drivers. Not complicated at all.
It’s one of the best small cars on the market.

Recently got my license and am looking into buying a car, this looks pretty good to me.
Not going to lie, the X-line is a looker BUT the price? Ah ah! I feel like Picanto’s and Grand 10’s should be around R3900- R4500 p.m.

The picanto is nice but not practical for my day to day life, Suzuki Swift would be a lot better.
Great review as always 😀
Thank you Mpumi 🙏🏾
Yes the Swift is more practical and cheaper than the X-Line , il do a review on it soon.
Kia Picanto...THE BEST!
The Suzuki Baleno is a true bargain. They nearly got everything right with it.
Suzuki has really done well in terms of pricing and their strategy has worked because there’s a Suzuki on every street you turn to these days.

Il do a Suzuki Swift review one of these days 👊🏾
@@mrhowmuch I will be waiting 🔥👌🏾. And lastly you do great review bafo. Here are your flowers💐
What's a service plan and maintenance plan and warranty?
Great car though. My sister used to have the previous generation. Although, I'd go for a low mileage used Rio.
A low mileage Rio would be an excellent choice 👌🏾 , a much bigger car but with the comfort of still being within the Warranty and Service Plan.
Have a cousin who drives the automatic one…it’s a nice car but for me THE BEST OR NOTHING
Argentina 🇦🇷 for number 1
You’re Mercedes Benz’s number one fan bro , you’d go with a Merc no matter what other option you’re given 😂😂😂
France and Brazil are looking unbeatable , Argentina would really have to bring their A game to win against either one of those two.

Ay guys! I think halogen lights should be illegal in South Africa. Why do cars still have them in 2022 and beyond?
I agree with you 100%
Halogens need to go…
Why?
I have driven my kia picanto with 4 people from Middleburg to Durban without any problem. My is kia picanto street manual

Brazil is taking it
I'd that the Suzuki Baleno glx for that money

@@mrhowmuch it's all Suzuki's work
I think everyone wants that final
It is a good car but only for people who stays in towns
W from CPT
Thats true as a city car the Picanto is perfect and easy to park.
X Line over Suzuki any day.
Pena que a Kia retirou este carro da minha cidade aqui em Belém do Pará no Brasil
Suzuki Swift GLX
no es por nada, pero que bonito modelo
hope this car come to malaysia too.
fire
First to comment 👏🏾
Well done Asimbonge…
Thank you
High mileage c class will do for me, not this toy
Not this thing
I dnt think that it's worth the price 🤨 . It's competing wit baleno n starlet basically.
That’s true at it’s price point it has serious competition from much bigger cars , even a low mileage Kia Rio would be a good alternative for those who want to stay within the brand.

I might do another Suzuki Baleno review 😂 , it’s getting a lot of appreciation in this comment section.
Just go for a Baleno, it's a much bigger car
The Baleno is great value for money , I was very impressed when I reviewed it two months ago , the spec and size really make it a bargain.
Kia is really fighting
Haibo picanto with sunroof 😭😭
Imagine paying R7000 for a PICANTO!
Give me my C-Class!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
To be honest these car manufacturers are gambling with our lives and they get away with it
I also prefer cars with more than 2 airbags Nyiko.
stick with x - line
R7000 for a picanto???😅😂😂😂
Front looks ugly...rear and interior is good...
Kia Vs C class 🤣
The ultimate head to head comparison 😂😂😂
