Hi,
I've not driven a Kia before and am planning to buy a small fuel economical car for myself. I'm contemplating whether to buy a Kia Picanto or a Toyota Passo. How's the performance of Picanto? Is it a reliable car?

a passo? do they still sell those or are you getting a second-hand one?

The picanto is still fairly new on the market.
But so far so good!
only issue is with squeaking rear brakes on the UK models at least, they certainly are economic!

Hi,

I've just bought a Picanto SE and i've noticed the sqeaking rear brakes. Only happened on 1 day though and it seems to be fine now.

Seems like it varies with cars!
Some squeal at pdi time, but normally stops with a good road test, I'd guess, it's seems about 10-20% return later for rectification.
