Hey Ben. I looked at one of these about 6 months ago for a female friend. It was prob the last with the old badges. I was very surprised with how cool it was, with the GT LINE package and the details. I also love the sound of a 3 pot. Kinda reminds me of a 6 pot. Cheers

I believe the reason there is no grab handle on the drivers side is because the driver gets the biggest grab handle, the big round one.

@@PlanetautoUK Not 100% sure, but suspect it may be a decision in the design phase to put a them on every door so no further changes for left and right hand drive versions. Do agree though, that they can be handy (pun intended) for getting it and out, not just for scared passengers to hang on to.

Hello, I’m looking for a used low running cost fun hatchback car that really good on fuel for mainly driving in towns commuting to work & back, was looking at Suzuki swift sport 2018 engine & Kia Picanto GT Line S or Honda Jazz sport Navi as their all similar price, I know their different segment car, since you drove them cars how do you compare them and which one would you get & why? Many thanks 🙏

Great review, Ben, answered all my questions. Kia just gets better and better and this one will sell purely on looks. Add in brisk performance and good fuel economy - why would anyone buy anything else in this part of the market? So let's keep things cute and frugal and ignore the South African wide boy with his polluting abortions (look at whole-life emissions) and his 30% markups specially designed for the virtue-signalling mugs. Up yours, Musk - and God bless Kia.

You can order the door handles in the body colour if you dont like chrome. The red seats are ugly. The boot is too small and too deep. The yellow one looks like a mobile bowl of custard. It only comes in yellow, white, grey and black in 2023.
@PlanetautoUK Жыл бұрын
It’s essentially a 2011 design which has been refreshed etc. with facelifts and tech upgrades - hence boot never changing, also when this is discontinued that’s it, which makes sense colour options. It’s already been discontinued in some markets already. We love the Honey Bee colour though. *A
