Hi there!
I got one. It's named EX Sport here in Sweden.
Sport model comes with half leather seats, silver on dashboard, leather steering wheel, silver/leather gear knob, metal pedals, spoiler, skirts, alloy wheels, fog lights, chromed door handles inside/outside and radiator grill.
Ordered the car without any stereo and bought and mounted a Clarion WXZ468RMP stereo with built in 6 disc cd changer. Made some sound proofing in the rear too. Lifted out back seats, panels and everythin else in the rear. Damped the metal and the plastic panels. Then glued on 2 layers of felt mat to the panels. After that there all of a sudden sounded too much from the front of the car. Proves I did a good job in the rear. When it gets warmer here I'll tear out the rest of the interior and insulate it too.
Fuel consumption is a bit tricky to say. Takes practically nothing when driven calmly, but since it goes like hell and I use that the fc is a bit higher. It's always under 0.5L/10km though.

The CRDi model is my 1st choice bad sadly it never arrived here in our shores. I like those silver dash,lether steering,silver/lether gear knob,metal pedals,chromed handles inside out. Although the rest can be installed here as an option. But still all we have here is the bare one. With out (side repeater lights, rear wipers, front/rear fogs, etc.) in short It's the least picanto model. Do you a pics of your car posted?

Yup, a local meeting with the amazing quantity of two cars :-) I'm in the south parts of Stockholm (Botkyrka).
The downside with buying the "sport" model was that only two colours were available. Black, which is very nice with the chromed handles, or yellow.
Black is nice about 20 seconds, then the car is dusty. And since I'm a lazy bastard and refuse to wash the car more than once a month, I chose the yellow paint. Hadn't seen that colour, and the dealer couldn't show me either since the diesel model hadn't been released yet when I ordered my car.
Well, it's a strange colour. It's not really yellow. More greenish yellow.
The car looks like (both in shape and colour) of an unripe lemon.
Took me some weeks to get accustomed to.

Hi,

I´m a german Pic Driver, driving a french Picanto CRDI EX model. Its really pretty (like Jonny´s but without chrome but therefore with heated rear mirrors). The engine is furios reminding his only 1120 ccm
Fuel consumption sometimes over 0,5/10km (0,55) but driven 140 kilometers on autobahn...
