I bought this for myself i love it so much such a fun ride, im used to driving a big SUV like my mothers car and when i used the brakes i was so surprised i actually braked so fast and acceleration/engine in a quiet area is actually so loud and sounds sporty. So i am loving this car so far!
I bought this yesterday after test driving this and the Mazda 2. I've always been a Mazda fan but I cant justify and extra 6k when the picanto is so fun to drive, will all the extras to boot.
just ordered this car today in the UK. only 9 months old with 750 miles on the clock. glad to see this great review and so happy it has such a lengthy warranty. great review :D
@@bradamour827 you don’t need it. It wirelessly connects to your phone and you use Google maps through the main screen. I got an iPhone 13 max so it’s fine for me
@@ProductReviewCars I finally get it this Tuesday. It’s a 5 speed automatic in the UK 1.0. Litre engine. Does it hold up ok on freeways? I don’t expect to be driving more than 70mph on my commute To work
This is a ProductReview review, and im a PR Ambassador and knowing the facts about what you are testing is paramount. This does not have leather seats, they are vinyl, faux leather.
We have the 2018GT-line S Turbo version of this car and it's great, and a welcome change from the ubiquitous 'SUV', which it seems all manufacturers are forcing on us these days. It's not 'hot' by any means. But it has a turbo 99 bhp engine which gets the car to 62 mph in 9.9 seconds, which makes it a 'warm' hatch. It's good to drive and I find it's very easy to chuck around. The interior is very nice and makes the car feel more expensive than it really is. I would have preferred an Abarth, but there are no local dealers and I'm not convinced about its reliability.
Kia has been working of a firmware upgrade to fix the yuppys using iphones, works great with samsung phones. you need to do a drive were the lots of bends at 100kmh its fun, i have the picanto S 2018 version pov pack, and im 6 foot 3 and i fit in the car ok as you can lower the seat. had my car 3 years and i live in nsw and the roads have lots of fast speed bends fun.
@@ProductReviewCars there is no wireless carplay, only wireless android auto. i got the kia picanto gt-line 2022 (i think it’s called „morning“ in the usa).
Just brought one for delivery March 2022 gt line uk spec auto, first car for my wife, very low insurance 2a 1-50 50 high. Goes well with my sorento gt line s
The European version in The Netherlands has heated seats, heated steering wheel, cruise control, wireless charging and automatic climate control as standard!
It's good fun! Will certainly be a smaller car than the Cerato, but if you don't need the space all the time. It'll be a decent upgrade for inner-city driving.
@@Prince-eq3et I have driven small cars before, the picanto gt line is really good man, not bad at all for 1.2 L engine. During the break in period, I was like, Jeeeez this car is slow, but after that period. The FUN begins.
Great review. The issue with Apple Car Play is common. I have a Picanto had it back to the dealer and Kia they don’t have a fix the problem seems unique to the wireless unit
Thanks for the great video! I was wondering if the wireless apple car play doesn’t work, would it be possible to connect it via the usb and retain the same functions?
The GT and X - lines with 16" wheels are a poor choice. Better get the 3 spec. Apple car play works just fine. Its not just a 'city car', it can go hundreds of miles up the motorway. The only issue is the average 35 mpg. But then thats what most cars of any size will do.
@@MARKINAU8 this is exactly what I wanted to know as haven't test drove one yet. How is it at 100kph for 2.5 hours? Is it screaming it's tits off or is it quiet and smooth

It's a breath of fresh air when it comes to driving a light, small car. Glad to hear it's great to own!

Had a 1.25 for 9 years...so time for an upgrade. Picking up my GT line S next week with triple banger...can't wait. Great cars....
Excellent. They are seriously good for the money.
I've got one: great car, great review. I've also got a Kia Carnival and they're a great combination.
We purchased one of these in June 2021, the Apple wireless carplay for our family is seamless, works perfectly
Oh awesome to hear! Hopefully it was fixed for all cars.
Possibly buying one on Saturday, thanks for your review 👍
Exciting! Thanks for watching!
Have you already bought one?
@@chaudry123 yes, we purchased 2. Very happy with both cars.

I just bought this car as my first and picking it up on Monday. How is the android auto? Any issues?
KIA doesn't like iphones. hahaha
Didn't test Android Auto. But certainly patchy with when connecting an iPhone.

Absolutely! Appreciate those words.

Thanks for the review, im in the market to buy a picanto gt line, will test drive one tomorrow. im currently driving a 2017 cerato sport.
It's good fun! Will certainly be a smaller car than the Cerato, but if you don't need the space all the time. It'll be a decent upgrade for inner-city driving.
hey did u buy it ? how it felt?
@@Prince-eq3et I have driven small cars before, the picanto gt line is really good man, not bad at all for 1.2 L engine. During the break in period, I was like, Jeeeez this car is slow, but after that period. The FUN begins.
9:40 FYI, it DOES NOT have automatic wipers.
great review mate, love your style!
Cheers for watching!
I bet you have all had a call back regarding the audible tone warning if he fog lamp is left on
Kia seems to have a thing about callbacks
Great review. The issue with Apple Car Play is common. I have a Picanto had it back to the dealer and Kia they don’t have a fix the problem seems unique to the wireless unit
Thank you! Ahh shoot. That doesn’t sound too good. Wired it is until it gets sorted.
The 100hp feels like a little sports car on Nice roads.
For sure. Little itty bitty hot hatch.
6:16 accumulated info : 10.7L/100km that looks not so good
Perfect little premium baby car !
Gonna be getting this once my probationary period at work is over, that way I can get financing
Thanks for the great video!
I was wondering if the wireless apple car play doesn’t work, would it be possible to connect it via the usb and retain the same functions?
I believe you should be able to.
Beautiful toy
My fahtyers kia picanto gpl very good car 🇵🇹🇵🇹
Best car !
I loved driving it! - Cameron
Where can i purchase the luggage cover? Kia lauches picanto in my home country without the boot cover
Was the carplay fixed?
Pretty sure it should have. Double check with your local dealership.
@@ProductReviewCars thank you for replying, Do you if the sun visors include led lights?(the sun visor above passenger and driver seats)
Fun ride, got one
My diavel motorbike is 165hp. But I'm looking to replace it with a Picanto.
I’d like to see the gear selector arrangement. It might be that odd notchy instead of the conventional automatic slide type, which I much prefer.
Best car kia picanto gpl vs gt line 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
The GT and X - lines with 16" wheels are a poor choice. Better get the 3 spec.
Apple car play works just fine.
Its not just a 'city car', it can go hundreds of miles up the motorway.
The only issue is the average 35 mpg. But then thats what most cars of any size will do.
Debating getting this or Suzuki Ignis 🤔
These are pretty fire. Haven't reviewed a Suzuki Ignis yet so can't say if it's better/worse than the Picanto
Some of them come with AMT gear , Not AT gear , just for knowledge .
Not in Australia
Can I get this car at United State?
Nah
Good job I’m only 5ft 1”
You own a Fiat? Oh you poor blighter, my deepest sympathies.

Nice car
All wheel drive.i know all when drive down side you get a f lb at tire you need to replace all 4 times. NOT GOOD
Huh?
nice lil twirl mate xx
Thanks again uuy
there is no wireless carplay, only wireless android auto.
Nah, definitely wireless Apple CarPlay here in Aus.
Tom you should have done this review wearing a turtleneck
Appreciate the tip, but the name's Cameron haha.
@@ProductReviewCars
Does it have a lane assist ? Does the car beep if one is to close to the other side of the lane ?
Seats are not leather.
Looks like it would be nice for my sister.😉
Is this a girls car?
What's a girl's car?
On freeway yes. It's slow, noisy and quite unstable. But in city it's perfect for everyone
@@MARKINAU8 this is exactly what I wanted to know as haven't test drove one yet. How is it at 100kph for 2.5 hours? Is it screaming it's tits off or is it quiet and smooth
Ok.id rather buy an older mercedes for the same price
Great idea, because an old Mercedes is a very reliable car.. Not! *yes, I'm speaking from experience and I'm in the motor trade 😉
No seven year warranty and incredibly expensive to repair any faults.
