I just bought 1 but Auto at this Tampines Century Square Roadshow. As wat i know they told me the price will increase by 2k from monday onwards. i find the car not bad the leg room and the space can have a gd fight with getz.Further more it only take up 20km/l.

picanto SG

Ghee SG

wa, not bad hor... the consumption is good man!

ve u test drive the car.... let us have your forst hand feeling...

kinkichong SG

i had bought a diamond blue when u mean when you test drive you have a froze of your hand is it the aircon very cold

kinkichong SG

Oh Surprised i know wat you mean already i have not went for the test as they arrange for me a test drive next sunday but i had book the car during a road show as tampines century square.
they told me that the fuel consumption is around 16-18km/l for auto and 18-20km/l for manual.
but this car only have basic function no keyless remote door open dun have spoilter but the leg space got fight with getz.They got lucky draw also and my wife had pick a reverse sensor for me.
But if you dun mind of paying more abt 3k they have a package they will give u a leather sit, reverse sensor, sport rims, tough coat.But i heard it is no point cos out side it cost cheaper.
but i still take 3k package but i take it to buy my insurance and they stil give me the rike cool.

I had a look at the car at Century Square too… Will not be suitable if u are gonna have passengers at the back cos its really squeezy… I had to adjust the driver seat until max so tat i will b comfortable, and after doing so I can’t get a person to sit behind me…. Other then that it looks a pretty decent car for that price

Ghee SG

Kinkichong..... yah i din type properly lah...... paiseh leh!

how long is your waiting time? they din give any free gift, other than the lucky draw?

the luxury package cost so much!!! toyota offer walnut paneling, leather seats and woodgrain steering wheel for $1,500.... pple still think expensive..... they really want to make from this type of packaging!!! Heng, u din take it....Good decision!

Seen the Picanto at Causeway Point last Saturday. Sat in the driver's seat and pretty comfort without adjustment to the seat(my height 1.76m). However, the passenger seat is very crampy. The boot length & width only can nicely fit in a normal size baby pram. Rear doors dun come with power windows, only front have.

I think it is a good buy for $49999(Manual) 1100cc car.

kinkichong SG

Heng ah,i bought it on Sat i jus cal them n ask about when is the fastest date my car can come out the say july n also check wih them the car price now it increase by 2k so instead of 49999 now is 51999 and auto will b 54999 when i bought that day was 52999.
they do have a lucky draw n i got myself a revers sensor.

How much was the downpayment and instalment? Did they offer like what they did for the Rio? They offered 1st month free instalment and 1st year insurance free as well. That’s why my dad bought that car.

kinkichong SG

other then the lucky draw i get a rike cool only lor. As for the leg space i find it ok cos i m 1.75m tall n when i adjusted my rear still can sit people without stress. my father and mum is quite big size n i can fit both of them plus my brother very small size fit them at the back with stress but the booth is a bit small but better then kelisa n the leg space is about the same as getz cos i test drive getz before. It uses a SOHO 1.1l engine.If you 12 buy a mony saving car this is the right choice but must bear with the basic function this car provide.

kinkichong SG

the boking fee is 2100but when i get my car i need to pay them 4k this include the insurrance, 1st installment, 6 mth road tax registration fee, no. plate

froggie SG

What about monthly instalment?

picanto SG

how come no keyless remote door sensor leh? i tot brochure sy have? Sad Sad

kinkichong SG

my mthly installment is abt $523
as for the keyless remote sensor i did ask them but they told me that some of the function they did not include cos they say they 12 bring the car cost down and make the car affortable so they take out some not really tht useful item.But the do still have a service free battery.And This car does not have air bag or abs jus like kelisa.N it lost to kelisa is the mirror is not electrically control.BTW they also use the most expansive insurrance which is AIG.
i m a first timer owning a car therefore i pay abt $2k for the insurance but i took he package of 3k so the give me the insurance and rike cool window and wind screen tinting.

kinkichong SG

so any 1 can give me a commance on my 1.1cc soho engined auto car.
will it have the power to drive my family up the multi story carpark.
cos alot of people told me i will regrad in furture.

I heard that Kia cars consume a lot of fuel (please refer to my thread on Hyundai cars) but I do hope that this model which you bought would be the first to consume less.

Do give the forum readers here a feedback on the car when you start using it.

kinkichong SG

But from the malaysia forum which i c aft i post the message.Most malaysian prefere this car to their national made car n malaysia had launch it in march n had their first batch out in may. Most of them say it fc is really very low n have much more power than the kelisa, kancil, kenil.N the best thing is their units r mostly booked out in all their kia showroom and Naza agent.

so after reading the forum i felt more safe in buying the auto car.
