U cannot expect much since u r buying a korean car. My cousin's Getz also same, many problems or shld i say "wear & tear" throughout the 4 yrs!

Bad luck for you. I have been driving a picanto for 4 over years and to genting highland for almost 20 times...apart from servicing all is good...although 1st gear sometime is harder to engage when"cold" time. Log on the 3rd gear for realignment and back to 1st gear will do the job..... change the gear oil too as well...

The Kia Picanto is the most dependable car of 2010, clocking up very few faults and earning a reliability score of 98.1%. The Korean supermini

True.. Got hair who want to be botak.

 

Ya not only Picanto got this problem. Actually most hatchbacks have very little between back passenger and bumper.

 

I saw 1 docu which crash test a 7 seater from behind with a lorry; with crash test dummies on the last seat.

 

The lorry's bonnet is practically on the passenger's head..
