Hi Diesel300,
I have a Kia Picanto 2004 Manual. in my personal experience, its a good little car to run, especially for city driving where you don't need a car with much power, and good fuel economy. I had mine for 2 years now, and I only had one major problems with a fuel line leak. But hey I only bought it for 1,200 euro , 1425 dollars roughly. Other than that, just doing the normal checks and replacements worked fine for me now, with no major problems. Does it have a lot of power? No, but for city driving, and getting from Point A to Point B, it does the job. Are they build super solid, like a toyota? No. I would suggest that you check scotty's videos on checking a car behind buying, and things to look out for. That helped me identify at least 2 bad cars back when I was looking for one.
