Hi guys,

I was the lucky guys who got the first batch of picanto LX last September. Thats a great idea. Maybe we could do a eco run and publish our mileage reports.

tnx

I invite Picanto owners to join a mailing list I created recently for our beloved car. I hope this can start our planned club

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/picanto

See you there!

hi... i don't have a kia picanto yet, but i am very much interested in owning one...

i hope most of you could help me with this, but i've heard from many that the picanto is a very fuel efficient car, and very "economical" in terms of the price vs. the overall car itself...

i would like to know, what basically are the "common" modes of payment that most of you have done for acquiring the picanto??? and, what dealers may you recommend that basically offers the best "discounts" or deals"...


...i am in the middle of deciding to sell my old car to get the picanto... your feedback people are very much appreciated... thank you very much...

it is a very efficient car per se, but efficiency has a lot of factors, like city driving (you get lesser mileage), winding roads (you get better mileage), aircon (in a traffic, eats up more gas) is on, etc. but overall performance is much better than what is locally available.

well the bad part of this story is that since the Picanto is a very hot car at the moment, dealers prefer to have buyers willing to have longer payment terms. the usual would be 30% down with 36 or 48 month payment terms.

What car would this be? I do hope you get your Picanto soon. I have been enjoying my ride ever since I got it.

- i'm actually (really) after the "better/lesser mileage" factor of the picanto, also (not to mention), the over-all looks of the cars... i've read the specs and the other details (finish, interior, safety, etc.,) of the picanto, and to tell you frankly, it seems to be on par with the new cars on the block ...

...honestly, i am riding a 2nd hand lancer 93... well, same story as the rest, i'm caught in the "restoration" period of the car, and, making computations on my own, i'm thinking of selling my ride to get the picanto rather than restoring it...

given your terms (on the 325K price basis of the manual type), that would be around 97,500 down, and roughly 6,400 a month on 36 months, plus around 25,000 for the registration, the tint, the mat, others, "lagay"... very much good already...

...well, i'm really evalutating my options right now... thank you so much... i really appreciate your reply ...
