Kia Picanto

It may sound like the latest spicy pizza topping, but Picanto is actually Kia's latest small car. Its main rival is the Fiat Panda - that's why you'll find it similarly specced and priced to compete with Fiat's little baby. But it's not quite as clever inside as the Panda, although it's well put together with some neat touches. All-in-all it’s a high value, high spec and attractive package that appeals to a wide range of small car buyers.
