doesn't give you the drive feel enough to pay that extra money.
First choice was Ignis, but gone. So Kelisa.
Since I can't afford a car that would feel totally worth it,
example Jazz/IST, might as well go for a cheap one. Plus I heard
the service center in Malaysia has great service and worksmanship.
Tons of things could be done to the car. Be it the cabin, exterior,
interior. The test-drive also feels much better than Aveo. Of
course it loses to cars like Lancer, Vios.
Anyway, the part about parts felling off sounded like a joke, why
don't you ask the Picanto drivers?
The cheapest prob-free car I can think of so far is Vios. All
others that goes cheaper will have a little problem here and there.
But for you, I would advise you try out Hyundai Getz if you can
afford it. If not for the fact that it only comes as Auto,
I would have already test-driven one.
O, as for why kelisa, not picanto. You can only know when you test
drive them. Try both auto, then you can feel which is more
powerful. Trust me, you can feel it.
Getz comes with manual 1.6 however only available in 3 door
guise. 
And yes, Kelisa is a good choice...
