Kia Picanto GT-Line S - Proof That Small, Fun Dad Cars Still Exist!

Can a brand new £17,500 car REALLY be fun and practical? Kia seem to think so! but can you fit child and baby seats in the back? how big is the boot?

I love this new angle, going from “You’d be surprised how familiable this fun car is” to “You’d be surprised how fun this family car is”. Can we see a sleeper estate next?

[@dadcars]

I did a sleeper estate last week! Lol check it out 😅 fear not we will have some crazy 2+2s coming soon as well 😉

[@johncaterify]

@@dadcars Sorry, I'm behind. I will definitely check that out!

[@knn3th]

I have 2019 Picanto GT-line T-GDI tuned to 140 bhp as my daily driver and I also have a Porsche Cayman 981 for the weekends. The 981 sounds better off course, but both cars put a big smile on my face while driving, and the Picanto is also surprisingly practical and luxureus. Two of the most underrated fun cars to own and drive, in my opinion.

[@dadcars]

👏😊

[@rj5406]

I've got one of these, omg. It puts a big smile on my face every time I drive it. Soooo much value and fun for so little. I sold a Porsche Cayenne S and bought this and this is definitely much more fun to drive on windy country roads. My wife's Audi Q5 is dull to drive and use in comparison to this car. If you're thinking of buying one of these, don't think, just buy it. Heated steering wheel and front passenger seats, folding mirrors, beam level adjustment etc. It's just amazing value.

[@dadcars]

I agree! 🙌

[@MrCarrera28]

Love the way you involve your kids and make driving a family fun time. Hopefully you are helping to create future car lovers!! Plus very polite ones at that :)

[@dadcars]

Thanks! We have a lot of fun on these filming days 😅

[@Pistolspete82]

We had one of these. Started with a 1.0 then a 1.0turbo. they were both mega! So much fun took them over the aygo and the up.. great little things and good fun

[@dadcars]

This really surprised me… I thought I’d be moaning about being in a tiny hatch but forgot all about that as I was enjoying myself so much 🤷‍♂️😅

[@richstephenson5120]

I had one of these on hire when my Fiesta got written off in an accident. It was a great little car, loads of kit like heated seats, apple car play, cruise control. It was also surprisingly nippy around town. On the motorway in bad weather it was a tad unnerving against giant wagons but it got me from A to B safely and in a timely fashion. My other half was a little crestfallen when I picked the 140bhp Ford Fiesta Zetec S as my new car instead of getting one of these. Great review as always :)

[@boxoffisa]

Why did you take ford back?

[@Hampo6t9]

My wife has an 18 plated GT-Line S with 1 litre T-GDi engine. It's a fantastic little town/city car and handles like a go-kart. Did you notice how, when you rev it above 3,000 rpm, it sounds like a tiny V8?

[@dadcars]

Must admit I didn’t notice that, the engine note wasn’t particularly not worthy to my ear but I know I am very spoilt with the cars I drive frequently on the channel 😅 it is a super fun little car though, that surprised me 😊

[@jonlyons1033]

Suddenly im reminded of a talking heads album... Gorrit yet? Yeah nah seriously, top notch and ORIGINAL content which is a difficult thing to achieve on KZbin these days. Hey Pickle give your dad (and mum) a cuddle for us please.

[@dadcars]

Thanks man 😅

[@Basic-Grunge]

This was a pleasant review. I loved the addition of your daughters input. This is the type of content I love to see on KZbin. Will be subscribing.

Thanks man! Glad you found the channel! 🙌

[@ytn00b3]

Got this car last year, and I'm very satisfied.

[@dadcars]

I can see why 🙌😊

[@simonforfan]

I love my Picanto!! Have the same one as the one you showed here but i've installed stage 1 tuning box, subwoofer & tinted windows. Such a fun car to drive!! And my brother fit her niece in a car seat with no problem

[@dadcars]

Awesome!

[@Leonfr_2022]

Whats the hp of yours with stage 1?

[@nijjyspiers73]

I've got one of the turbo picanto, and i came from a bmw 2.0 msport with twice the bhp, but I love how I beat most everyday cars up to 60mph ,shocks lots of people and I dont worry about the fuel bill 😂

[@dadcars]

It’s a surprising little car isn’t it!

[@RW-nr6bh]

I don't have this spec Picanto but a lower spec one. It's incredibly roomy and practical for it's size. I'm 6ft 2 and my dad, who is 5ft 10 can sit behind me with no problems. The boot is good too.

[@dadcars]

Yep… surprising how everyone think they need a massive SUV now isn’t it 🥲

[@alasehirphiladelphia6996]

Great review; love it when it’s coming from a practical daily-use point-of-view. Excitement with the kids. About time dads have fun too.

[@dadcars]

Thanks 🙌 😊

[@tdhunter]

My daughter bought a new Picanto GTlineS in 2020 and after 4 years she still loves it. Its the same colour (Titanium silver) but has proper twin exhausts at the back and came with a panoramic sunroof as standard. Obviously as the models progress your getting less for your money, no sunroof and no turbo engine. She only paid &13500 brand new in 2020. When I told her they've done away with the turbo engine she said she wouldn't have another, a loss for Kia.

[@_JordanM]

Nice review bro! I love how impressed the girls were ☺️ Kia chasing you for reviews now, I can’t say I’m surprised! Keep up the great work 👏👏👏

[@dadcars]

Yeah the girls really liked this one 😅

[@getmoreforyourcar-bobjones]

Love the knowledgeable input from the girls... there's a lot of KZbinrs out there who could learn a thing or two from them

[@dadcars]

They have been in so many incredible cars at this point 😅

[@deaks25]

I didn't know these existed; as a commuter car, these look fabulous, and sounds very much like a member of a category that I thought was long dead; the Warm Hatch; the '05 Fiesta ST, Twingo 133, Fabia VRS etc; cars that have enough poke to have a bit of fun with, but are still cheap, practical little cars. Was this the first official lend of a car from a manufacturer? I seem to remember Kia were big supporters of JayEm in his early days as well, so props to Kia for doing the same. I love that your eldest seems to be really engaged on the reviews; she's not just along for the ride and that is awesome to see and must be such as buzz.

[@dadcars]

Yeah it lovely how they are starting to learn how these filming drives go and they help me out now! 😅 every time I see “hot hatches” getting bigger and bigger I loose more interest… these are a breath of fresh air… or turbo charged air 😅

[@9Sasa1]

Can't wait to see Picanto - X5 comparison. I can't believe that the steering wheel is almost the same as the one in my new Sportage 😮😄 Kia is great

[@dadcars]

Honestly the large SUV Vs compact hatch had crazy results when thinking about family practicality!!! I’ve filmed it but will release it in a month or so 🫡

[@stephenboulter4727]

Awesome review! First time I've seen one of your vids and clicked on it as I'm picking up my Picanto tomorrow, GT S-line 1.0 as tested except mine's a 69 plate for about half new price, would echo all you say, great, fun, package and can't wait to start enjoying it! Incidentally, owned two GTi-6's back in the day and I'll be watching that vid next!

I've had 2 of these cars, they are brilliant for the money. So much kit, fun to drive, good looking, reliable, and that 7 year warranty.

[@dadcars]

👏😊

[@MrRawUK]

Turbo engines or non turbo?

[@recall2880]

Ever tried claiming for anything on that warranty?

[@BlackWindmill1]

My wife has one of these. Loves it!!

[@dadcars]

Awesome! Great choice, it really surprised me 🤙

[@jpexplorer51]

You def need to try a Kia Stinger, I think you would love it. I know jayemm is also a huge fan of them as well

[@dadcars]

Absolutely! I’d love to!

[@rodneypennington1086]

In Australia we get a 1.2 litre MPI engine, it's great and likely to last really well. I got the manual GT Line and it's way better than I expected.

[@dadcars]

Very cool little cars 😎

[@bulletman001]

Yep and the 2024 model soon will add quite a lot of nice stuff and safety stuff. GT with its turbo manual is gone tho. GT line will be top spec and the range will lift by $1.5-2K each spec. But it will still be great value for money.

[@eliasdalton6433]

Fantastic content. Discovered you looking for a small car for my Wife. Going to binge watch your channel

[@dadcars]

Awesome! 🙌 glad you found us 😊

[@ToastOnToast]

Thats a looker that KIA is. Nice to see a practical review on the usability as a daily. Tempting.

[@dadcars]

I appreciate I proper old school dimensions hot hatch 🤷‍♂️ for what it is they’ve done a great job haven’t they

[@ToastOnToast]

@@dadcars True, decent balance between sporty and spacious. The fact that they are pulling off the turbo on the next model is abit disappointing.

[@timurtatlici5320]

I've got one of these here in Germany where the "S" version seems to not have been sold officially - at least not for more than a couple of months. Nevetheless it's got everything, even a fantastic sun-roof. Our garage is tiny, so we needed something tiny. And this is the perfect solution for having much fun with a very tiny car. Super sad, that the 1.0 Turbo is discontinued - but makes ours even more special.

[@Nostalgia269]

Ich liebe das Auto auch ! Ich finde einen besseren Kleinwagen mit VIEL Ausstattung gibt es gerade nicht.

[@coops1964]

Great review I think your daughter should be on all of your car reviews! Once you’ve had heated seats and a heated steering wheel you’ll always want them. Subscription added.

[@dadcars]

I normally have at least one of my little ones with me in each review 😊 I’ve done some with all 4 in the car 😅

[@MJ-YT-USR]

My wife has the same car in white, and due to the direction cars are going (including the new KIA) I very much doubt we'll ever sell it. Such cars will start to become quite collectible.

[@fozzie221]

We have 2 of the base model picanto,s as courtesy customer cars and i personally think they are great little cars.

[@dadcars]

I know right! Surprisingly good 🤷‍♂️

[@A2KLAU]

Kia have made insane progress in recent years. We’re the proud owners of a brand new EV6 GT and as a family car to do the nursery runs, and occasional launch and spirited drive without the baby, it ticks so many boxes! If you want a viewers car to do an EV review you’re welcome to use ours. I’m based in West London.

[@dadcars]

So funny you should comment this, literally just walked the dog past one of my neighbours who have just got one of these… how is it?

[@A2KLAU]

@@dadcars it’s loaded with technology like 360cameras for parking, blind spot cameras when indicating, seriously smooth power delivery and the GT mode smack head on headrest acceleration will probably not get old for quite a while. Just made it over 100miles today so still very fresh. It’s so much more modern than my MK2 Focus ST, and much more spacious! Not needed to do an emergency nappy change in the EV6 yet, but it was not a nice experience in the tight back seats of the Focus.

[@dadcars]

@@A2KLAU I was taken back by how cool it looks from the rear looking at my neighbours just now… I recently filmed another car which has a solution for nappy changing… that video will be out in a few weeks 😅

[@A2KLAU]

@@dadcars look forward to seeing that one! Us dads really have some unique needs that most manufacturers probs don’t think about unless they too are dads 🤣 I agree I really do like the styling. Very fitting for an EV. A petrol car probably wouldn’t be able to pull it off so well. Even before the car got handed over been busy ordering stuff from AliExpress and Amazon to customise it and make it my own 😅 I can’t keep anything bone stock 🤣

[@gofferegg]

I've just traded an 18 plate GT Line S, for a brand new '23 plate, as the depreciation wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. On the old one, i had a Bluespark tuning box, taking the HP from 99 to 130+ and 0-60 in under 8 seconds. The 23 model can be mapped to around 143hp, which I'll be doing once I've bedded the engine in 👍

[@dadcars]

Oooo that sounds spicy! 🙌 I’d love to try one that’s been mapped

[@lukather1]

What do you think of the bluespark heard they’re a bit of a fiddle ? Not giving the est bhp ?

[@philholbrook7174]

Bought one new last year and it's ace 😎👍

[@dadcars]

👌😎

[@eattherich9215]

@4:25: the bumpy headlight casing spoils it for me. @11:29, I like the short bonnet. My old Skoda Fabia's is so much longer. The Picanto's small size and onboard camera, should make parking easier. I can't afford this model, but thanks for the informative review.

[@sergiosanmuahahaha]

Got a 2018 Picanto, and also a 1 year old with a massive car seat, fits no problem, same as the big fancy stroller my wife bought. It also was cheap enough that i paid it in 2 years. So yeah there are better cars out there? Sure. For the price though? The options become narrow Only thing i dislike about the car is that i got the 1 trim so it has the naturally aspirated engine qith 66BHP. I would have preferred the turbo one. On the bright side, it's good enough for the motorway and It'll do 70-80 mph no problem

[@Songbird.9591]

Good Honest review .. Great little Car but im biased i have one 🚗👍🇬🇧

Good review, I like how you covered the important points for buyers in this segment (boot space, interior, long term cost).. Not sure why you compared it to a second hand Ferrari or Aston Martin though. Nobody buying this car is thinking about a Ferrari lol

[@dadcars]

Those cars are what my channel is all about 😅 but I can see why it would be a strange first video to watch 😅

[@markorollo.]

My mum's thinking of getting one, going from a 66 reg Micra, but I saw yesterday that they're doing the 'updated' 2024 version next year, showed my Mum, she's not keen on it, so thinking of holding off until they're on sale and seeing if we can get the 'old' style for a bit less, probably not lol. The pram in the boot was good to see, I use an average sized wheelchair and was thinking will it fit in the boot, if that pram does my chair should!

[@dadcars]

The new looks are dividing opinion, I rather like both :) yeah that pram is huge!

[@leoseries]

Any room for a spare wheel?

[@Azureecosse]

I bought a 2020 Picanto 1.0 GT with 17k miles for under £10k in the summer, great little car very economical but I would never pay £17,500 for one new, I love the car its a commuter car but its not worth 17.5 sorry have to be honest, it Euro 6 and ULEZ compliant that's as good as it gets for me. its a nippy fun car but it no rocket ship the noise at speeds over 70mph can get a bit irritating after a while so I keep the speed down, Previous car was a 2013 Yaris 1.3 and that was a great little car too went up to 140,000 miles all trouble free but expensive servicing, so the budget Kia was a no brainer. Buy a low mileage used Picanto with balance of warranty and you will be set, I am led to believe these depreciate fast so no point paying new prices. to date done 3200 miles in it and only issues are the overly firm seats I am 6'1 I find the seat bottom a bit short for my legs so I have a little cushion I put under my right leg as it does not support me enough, paint chips easy on the leading edge of the bonnet but its a commuter car so it going to get battle scars. My 15 year old son keeps moaning at me to clean it on the outside as it gets very dirty being white, I give him £10 a month to give it a once over he does a good job.

I recently bought Kia Picanto Turbo. I need to wait 3 to 6 months for it to arrive. I guess the new Picanto no longer offering the turbo is due to very little manual transmission sales which is ashame.

[@dadcars]

Yeah I don’t disagree… I wanted to focus on what could you get NEW for sub 20k in this video as most cars I feature are depreciated performance cars. But you can these used for £11k I think.

Its still a shitty little turbo petrol matched to a shitty AMT transmission - the only reason they are reliable is because people who typically buy these drive about 5k a year.

Superb review with the most accurate information I have every heard on YT, We have 2 of these exact models and a 19 plate version on the drive. Love them. I came from a 19 reg fiesta ST and still love this Kia which feels more realistically fun to drive without the front wheel scrabble and torque steer of the ST. You nailed the real life fun and feel of this car from ur limited time in it to my everyday self comment while i drive to work,,, i love my little car. Kids, little stars by the way. Reviewers of the future 👍🏼

[@dadcars]

Ah thanks!! Glad you found the channel 😊 I did a video comparing this car to a large SUV for family use, I think you may find that a fun watch too 🙌

[@davegreg]

Great review, i have one of these on a 70 plate as my daily and they are great looking cracking little cars, i do 60 miles a day in mine and it's great fun! The gearing is quite long legged and the engine loves to be revved.....50mph is easily achievable in 2nd gear. Fuel consumption has always averaged at 42mpg in my ownership, though the petrol tank is a little small at 35 litres. But overall they are great, and the heated steering wheel in the winter months is awesome!

My wife has the exact one and since she picked it up from the Kia dealership she has proclaimed that it's the best car she has had in every way and is streets ahead of the Audi A1 Sport she had previously!

[@dadcars]

I can understand why! Really great little cars 🙌😎

[@ln5747]

Definitely not ahead of the same gen A1.

[@muffindell]

@@ln5747 that is a matter of opinion I guess

[@ln5747]

@@muffindell not really, the A1 is clearly a different class of vehicle which is reflected in the much greater cost.

[@RushfanUK]

I'll stick with my Fiesta ST2.

[@AndyfromSurrey]

We have a GT-Line S and it is a fabulously fun car to drive. We are very pleased with ours.

👏😊

Cracking little car. My son is on his 3rd my wife had one also, all one litre turbos. I was considering one myself until I heard they weren't using the turbo in the new model. Such a shame, more of a city car not enough power in my opinion. 😢

[@dadcars]

Yeah it’s a shame they’ve dropped the turbo from the new lineup 😪

[@petermarr-lo9sp]

@dadcars I can't really understand the logic. I have a Rio Gt line and the Rio has been dropped so the Stonic is now the smallest turbo.

@@petermarr-lo9sp it must be linked to emissions 😪
