Looking for opinions on Kia Picanto's from about 2011. We already have a Kia Ceed SW, which we bought after having had a Renault Scenic, as we wanted the comfort of the balance of the 7 year warranty. The Scenic cost us sooo much money to keep going!
We've been happy with the Ceed, and the issues we've had have been dealt under the warranty with no problems. We're now looking at getting a second car, so obviously doesn't need to be big as we already have the Ceed, so just a small car for getting the kids to school and me to work (local at the moment).
Our kids are 15 and 12, so in about 18 months the eldest will potentially be learning to drive, and whilst I wouldn't have a problem with him learning in a bigger car, it is an automatic, so makes sense to get a smaller manual now so it's in place for when he starts learning.
Really want peace of mind (the Scenic once cost us £2k in one year to keep on the road) so once again we're drawn to Kias and the 7 year warranty.
Any opinions on Picanto's of this age? There would be about 3 years left on the warranty.
