Why Is Europe Obsessed with Tiny Manual Cars Like the Kia Picanto?

Howard Ritchie and the Kia Picanto make friends on Cars Uncovered, and we make a bold new discovery or two. The Kia Picanto might be one of the smallest cars you can buy, but could it also be one of the most enjoyable?

In this review we take a closer look at the new Kia Picanto to find out what you actually get for around £15,000 or more!!!! From its clever design and surprisingly practical interior, to its simple controls, low running costs and naturally aspirated engine, this tiny Kia reveals something bigger about modern cars.

With bigger cars becoming increasingly expensive, is the humble city car making a comeback? And does the Picanto prove that you don’t need huge power, luxury materials or a massive price tag to have fun behind the wheel?

We look at:
• Kia Picanto price and running costs
• 1.0 petrol engine performance and 0-60
• Interior quality and practicality
• Boot space and rear seats
• Insurance, MPG and servicing costs
• Whether buying new or used makes more sense
• Why the older 1.2 engine could be worth considering

The Kia Picanto may be small, but it could be one of the most honest and enjoyable cars you can buy today. And the most Car LIKE car in years.
