Bought this car for my wife to drive to her workplace in a city with tight roads. Have not heard her say she went over a kerb since.

[@christophertan2285]

I'm the Picanto X line owner (high spec same as GT line) this is a really good car, must test drive yourself, u will be fall in love.

[@toronotokio3031]

what about the fuel consumption and spare parts availability bro?

[@Jamesdevil]

Their reviews are leagues ahead of Paul Tan's.

[@gengjahat4117]

Infamous Myvi and "Lotus Iriz" 😂😂😂

[@TSChee-tn5qc]

Haha, a big shoutout to you Adrian ! “You little 87 Hp thing... speedo showing 240km/h... so optimistic” I really like your humorous way of putting it and yet let some sarcasm to tell the car’s relevance to our Malaysian society. Great job! This is one of your best review and great presentation.

[@germaineliew2012]

Some of his sarcastic humour reminds me of how Top Gear reviews their cars. Especially Jeremy Clarkson. And I like that.

[@HMCarReviews]

Our version in the UK pretty much says the top speed.185km in this is all it will do, even with 87hp and not that much weight.

[@usmantariq7997]

84HP*

[@ashraffendy2010]

One of the best video you guys ever produce. Lots of informative things & good humour though. Keep up the good job to you Eu Jin and the rest of Autobuzz team!

[@tokmoh2000]

1. Tyre - it's got the right size, 175/65/R14 is very common size used in myvi, axia, unlike less common previous gen Picanto. Conti CC6 is known to be very quiet tyres, that may be good replacement for more comfy ride. Or if wanna upgrade to 15", 195/55/R15 is very affordable size, and has Michelin PS3. 2. Brake pedal higher is actually intentional. Volvos position it this way for a very long time, since the 240 at least. The logic is to make it much harder to accidentally press the wrong pedal. Great review. I test drove the previous gen Picanto before, and it had pretty good NVH, easily better than any cars in its class back then. I was smitten, i highly recommend Picanto too because of its refinement.

[@alanimals]

Good review thank you from the UK.

[@raymondyeap3620]

that day i rented in Socar for two hours. im really impressed by the Kia Picanto. driving it for 160 kmh for 5 min. I can say it is a damn good car. the stability of the car is really really impressive. The NVH is above average, road noise is acceptable if change to conti, bridgestone, michellin or goodyear will reduce the noise. i sure recommend to my sis who is considering a car now.

[@HMCarReviews]

I love driving the I10/Picanto. They drive a bit like a go kart, and turning the traction control adds to the fun. I did find that the manual transmission can be a bit difficult to get in to gear. Too easy to crunch and the automatic is too slow to change gear. However the car is inexpensive to buy so you can't realistically expect the gears to change fast on an auto. I have reviewed the Ioniq on my channel and that is a very good car. Hybrid engine with wireless phone charging, heated seats, heated steering wheel, which in the UK winter weather is definately needed. Loved the video guys. Keep it up.

[@Kiwie-gd2lg]

Nice review as always, bro. Congrats.

[@mursyidomar6995]

Review yang bagus, Tahniah Adrian!

Yes finally. Been waiting for this review.

Your tshirt analogy was spot on. 🤣

I love my Kia Picanto! Can highly recommend. ❤️👍

Nicholas - thanks buddy! It will be hard to replicate the man himself haha

[@jackson91]

😂 Adrian 😂 Best video review I've seen this year! And not because I own this car in Pikachu yellow. This video is informative, factual and tactfully funny. Nice one Eu Jinn! And AutoBuzz crew! Osem!!!

must admit, if I were to buy one, I'd get it in yellow too!

[@farhanjaidir2318]

[@hayatev98]

Nice Review! Does the 14r mag wheel can be replaced by 15r?

[@azzanis]

The review is very interesting to watch.

[@sathiyananthanvalautham999]

Finally. Thanks Ej 😁

It's nice car, I'm driving GT LINE model in Hong Kong, KIA also popular in here 😀

[@thejokerisme1978]

Comelnye. Sesuai tuk young mom & single ladies. Bujang terlajak laris pon bole😂 **Eu Jin so handsome lor😍

[@CalvinWoo7]

Nice video! Pls review the Kia Rio with 6 speed :)

[@fivish]

We have a 3 and a 2 spec, both automatics. The 14" wheels give the best ride, the 15" wheels are jostly and the 16" wheels are boneshakers. The variants with 16" wheels have viny seats - yuk! The power is adequate. The brakes are fierce. 38mpg with manual and 37mpg with auto.

[@amirsuperduppa]

Good review

[@kingken0460]

Lol my gosh this is like the funniest review. But a great review nonetheless 👍

[@saadbakhtiar8223]

Saw your review for the first time and i really liked it. More power to you. Love from Pakistan

[@HuntaKiller91]

My wife's next car..a superb upgrade from her current Kenari

[@11chenlim]

Review the GT Line please!

[@yagooatthegoat]

Great car, drove it from johor to malacca to n9 to subang effortlessly.(drove flat out in north south but can't really reach 180) Absolutely love it the car's steering wheel and accurate steering the 4.6m turning circle can get you out of those tight corners.

[@nickashraf]

Raja Afifi very comfortable. Do test drive and u really like it..

[@yagooatthegoat]

@Raja Afifi for me is ok

[@yagooatthegoat]

My family don't like Korea car so I can't buy it :/ not my money

[@Nabilllllll]

driven the gt line spec the other day and i must say that i’m super impressed ! and shockingly the price is very2 good for a un-local brand . good move by kia but sadly you’re in malaysia . Myvi and the Jazz still going to be the king and queen of malaysian road !

[@raymondyeap3620]

really under rated

[@patrickvalmont]

I bought this car in my country but a lot of options missing even if they say it’s the full option. Different regions, different options. I only have driver airbags, no passenger. The first thing i did was update the seats with covers because the current seems to stain quickly and the black doesn’t do well with excess sunlight. Secondly like you said, the rims are just basic so I switched that as well. The worst thing about this car is space for passengers at the back. A big inconvenience. Barely any leg room. It’s my first actual new car purchase but i’m quite satisfied so far.

[@deepakandanravie5460]

My friend own this car... it's really great car..stable and nice to drive... eventhough the engine is 1.2cc can go until 170km/h and it's really stable at high speed... AutoBuzz help needed to review Kia Rio... thanks

[@waikin1004]

is 1200cc, not 1.2cc even my honda ex5 also got 97cc

[@wkinyih9243]

its 1250cc actually😂

[@waikin1004]

@@wkinyih9243 opps my bad haha😂😂

[@tiadaid]

Kia Picanto is the best buy if you want to own a foreign make at a cheap price. I owned a previous gen Picanto & I love it.

[@halimhamdan8801]

How about fuel comsumption compare with axia?

[@william931210]

I tried GT LINE at Maeps last week, the way the car handling , Insulation is superb in his segment . At the same time I try the new Iriz , compare with this . Iriz are way more far to achieve same goes to myvi also

[@ahmadnusa6161]

Bro review sportage gt 2019 please!!🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@meowsquarade]

im very new to driving and this car caught my eye. this is probably my realistic dream car

[@meowsquarade]

hi i passed my driver's exam and im back

[@johneondrakeparohinog1149]

Better than Toyota Wigo/ agya/ perdoa axia/ daihatsu Ayla. This is even more durable than those cars

[@paradise1501]

I wish Kia bring this to Malaysia for the 2022 version. Would buy it

[@azimhisham6355]

Good job bro

[@ffh2303]

Updated Kia Rio next please, would like to know whether the new 6 speed auto gearbox is good or not since many complained about the previous 4 speed lacking gears.

[@eujinpan]

ffh2303 i hated that gearbox too

[@MuhammedHatemAbdelaziz]

it's will my next car Insha Allah Thanks for the review :)

[@jrusop1098]

Only Picanto segment A have 6 airbags, 4 disc brake, auto Android/apple car play and Cruise control Gtline have sunroof, 16 rims, AEB 2 year i pakai Picanto EX, gearbox only have a problems delay and jerking. Handling superb bagus baik punya...😁

[@raeferwilson2599]

You sound Trinidadian. Great review by the way. I think I am getting one soon

[@eujinpan]

Raefer Wilson hahahahaha no one has ever said that about me! Thanks anyways! Try to get more trinidadians to watch then haha

[@snapfire3711]

great review! hilarious "lotus iris" haha

[@justindividual7496]

What fuel consumption you can get? If you are driving in city?

[@TYT695]

Good car.. i only don’t like the leg room in the 2nd row seat

[@crumcon]

my dream car. one day it will be mine

[@JackieChinJR]

So many disses at the kids I love it 😂

[@kittybaskinginthesun285]

Spare parts very expensive ke?

[@ongzc2653]

Brilliant car but unfortunately Malaysian won't appreciate this little hidden gem as Korean car is "not good enough" compared to the japanese. Price wise it will never beat myvi or axia for perceived value. If this is spec with 1.0 turbo engine it is an instant purchase no doubt.

[@yongzh6882]

Proud owner here, who else ?

[@movo721]

Clode Yong me! I have the GT line and I love it!

[@ildico]

You look even cuter with this kind of review!

[@happiesdog]

Finally, been waiting for this review by my trusted reviewer but have owned this car for almost a year already (yes, it’s has been too long). I can really tell that EuJin love this car a lot despite the lousy tire fitted on this car. This is really a car that can change your perception of a Kimchi car. Lastly, the Lotus Iriz... LoL..

[@piob9801]

What are the competitors for Picanto? Is it Celerio, Brio?

[@dohataxtic6392]

I have the 2017 model, im 4”11 and it’s perfect for me 😂. This is also fuel friendly

[@HMEMM]

when fill in rm50 , how long can the fuel last?

[@garciaelisha8300]

What about 5'10..will he fit comfortably in the car?

[@zahar027]

For 49k in this spec i say this is such a bargain! For a "room temperature hatch"

[@skleo7765]

Good review Adrian. I've personally test driven all 3 makes of this segment, ie. MyVi, Iris and Picanto. Of all 3, I still prefer the Iris as it's a much better composed ride if compared to the other 2. Iriz sound proofing is also at it's best if compared to the other 2. Picanto IS pretty niffty and it's more of a design 'show off' element. Picanto's equipment is not bad compared to the rest however, only MyVI comes with autonomous braking system. If compared the 3 vehicles, I'd still choose the Iriz as it's still a fun and well composed car to drive around town. PLUS, I feel the Proton's AC is still the best! haha..

[@ToTunez]

I never drive the facelifted Iriz, just wondering if the solidness and refinement is comparable to the Picanto? Not looking for fast car tho

[@DylanChng]

I like the wheels

[@lonnontan1502]

So funny the reviewer talk hahaha

[@liewkl9618]

should review also the picanto gt-line,u will see the different

[@jesselogan92]

drive before using SoCar.. I love this car, miles better than MyVi... anyway, can you make a review on Kia Rio EX 6- Speed Auto too?

[@kentlee0713]

Come review Kia Rio EX 6 Speed

[@ainamariah]

I am planning to get a Kia picanto, and have been hearing left, right and centre from ppl that Kia maintenance and parts are very expensive, and resale value is poor. Will I have to burn holes in my pockets in the future just to upkeep the car or is this just a perception that people have from Kia's older models?

[@eujinpan]

Aina Mariah here’s my PERSONAL OPINION. Because the car is only 49k, there’s not much to lose to begin with. And it’s going to be a workhorse - being driven everyday and realistically you’re not gonna sell it within 1-2 years so for example if in 5 years u lose say 20k in RV, i think you wouldve still gotten your money’s worth. As for maintenance cost and parts, let’s just say good things are never cheap, even though it’s a budget car. Plus you’ll be enjoying all the benefits, like good handling and stability etc, so personally i feel it’s worth spending that bit of money. You can have good but cheap suspension, it’s impossible. Spend some time on mudah or at spare part shops to enquire the price for brake pads, absorbers etc for this car and decide if it’s worth it.

[@gnocchigurl]

Bro why two times review Picanto but not once have you reviewed its big brother, the Rio?

[@solidwenxing]

I like it when u said the young chaps are so lazy today... lolx... reality bite!

[@quinapple5918]

Kalau beli kereta secondhand kia picanto ex 1.2 berbaloi tak? Susah/mahal tak nak cari spare parts and service charge?

[@ikromimansor971]

Berbaloi jika 2016 ke atas.

How bout fuel consumption?

[@ermirhalitaj5346]

330km from last two tanks? That is horrible right? What do you mean here?

[@zenyu94]

never regret chosing this car over the myvi and iriz

[@farisfarhadz]

Picanto and Iriz is the only Fun To Drive. But not Myvi

[@Nabilllllll]

hm if you’re single then okay la kut . what if you’ll get married and have kids . that small cabin surely will make you regret for not getting the myvi .

[@eujinpan]

Straight pipe you have a point

[@zenyu94]

@@Nabilllllll if I have kids I'll opt for the persona or iriz instead. both still better cars than the myvi

[@Nabilllllll]

ZXC ya but you already bought the picanto right ? if you’re about to get married next year then you’re going to buy the persona la ? eventhough it’s just a year old ? the myvi is one of the most spacious and biggest b segment hatcback ( sits below jazz) which suits single guy or a family guy . iriz in the other hand is better than the picanto but still smaller than the myvi interms of space .

Those tires and rims are definitely the weak link. If buy this car, need to spend more money swapping them out.

[@quijr816]

What do you recommend?

[@reko3103]

@@quijr816 IMHO, replace with another 14 inch or even 15 inch rims is OK. Something light like O.Z. Racing. and Micheline Energy XM2 tires 175/65 R14.

Beli picanto ni kalau masih bujang/kereta kedua..tak kisah lah handling bgus ke, laju pegi ke, kalau space pun lagi kecik dari axia, buat ape nk consider kete ni (unless korang kategori atas tu) Aku pun dh lame tgk picanto ni sejak model baru ni lauch, tp sbb dah biase bwk kete besa (alza/cefiro), picanto ni kene reject sbb mmg kecik betol dlm die..utk org bdn 100kg plus mmg reject la..belakang pun kiut
