Picanto III Review
Car bought new from the Kia dealership in an interesting X-Line version (SUV-like appearance) with a 1.2 84HP engine, automatic transmission, and all available options. After 1.5 years of use and around 12,000 km driven (mostly by my wife), I can offer an objective opinion. Pros: - Very attractive version, exceptionally interesting and uncommon on the streets (I've only seen X-Line twice so far), - Very rich equipment (even as standard) - "leather", heated seats, heated steering wheel, 16"
Pros:
Attractive X-Line design, SUV-inspired, Generous standard and optional equipment, Heated seats and steering wheel

I'm satisfied, the car is reliable, looks good, and doesn't break down. If it's the engine, then only the 1.2. The price difference is small, and for this car's weight, it handles well, consuming an average of 6.5 L in the city. Unfortunately, it has typical drawbacks for this segment: poor sound insulation, average gearbox (very short second gear, sometimes reverse doesn't engage), and of course, limited space - but that's probably normal. It looks better than the boxy Volkswagen Up and has a normal interior, without exposed metal.
Pros:
Reliable and doesn't break down, Good-looking, 1.2 engine is well-suited for the car's weight
Cons:
Poor sound insulation, Average gearbox (short 2nd, reverse issues), Limited space

Bought the car new - L version, delivery delayed due to pandemic. I live in a big city where parking is a problem - this small car can fit where larger ones can't. Most trips are weekly grocery runs to a hypermarket 4 km away, and 1-2 times a week to my allotment 8 km from home. A few times a year, a trip within Poland for 2 people - 250-350 km isn't an issue. Sometimes for a max of 20-30 km.
Pros:
Compact size, ideal for city parking, Suitable for short to medium-distance trips
Cons:
Limited range for longer journeys, Not ideal for extended family travel

Picanto III Review
I've been driving this car for over a year and a half, and I'm delighted. Fuel consumption never exceeded 7l/100km (neither in the city nor on the highway). This little car handles perfectly in the city and can be parked in most spots where larger cars simply won't fit. On the road, it performs excellently even on long distances. The longest trip I've made in one go was 550km, and the comfortable seats provided adequate comfort without causing any back pain. The trunk space is...
Pros:
Excellent fuel economy, Great for city driving and parking, Comfortable for long distances, Surprisingly spacious trunk
Cons:
None mentioned

This car is designed for city driving, so it's obvious it has compact dimensions and lacks a sporty edge :). Since this is obvious to everyone, I won't hesitate to share my opinion on it. I rate the car 9/10. It's compact, dynamic enough for city driving, reliable, very easy to maneuver and park, visibility is good, surprisingly spacious inside for such a small car, you can even fit furniture in it
Pros:
Compact dimensions, Dynamic for city driving, Reliable, Easy to maneuver and park, Good visibility, Surprisingly spacious interior
Cons:
Lacks sporty character

Reached 50kkm, time for a review. I've owned it since new, M version (basic). I added cruise control myself (just swap steering wheel panel, ~€10 on AliExpress, half hour with a beer, done). As a base model, it cost 42k PLN + BRC LPG (don't remember the price) and paint. Most importantly, it has 4 cylinders. During the test drive, I checked both the 1.0 and 1.2, the choice was obvious. The car is pleasant to drive, and fuel consumption is low, although it depends on your foot – you can easily achieve 8.8l/100km.
Pros:
Pleasant to drive, Low fuel consumption, 4-cylinder engine, Easy aftermarket cruise control install
Cons:
Basic M version lacks features

Car rated 4 stars. The L version with a 5-speed manual gearbox, no optional extras. The car has driven 30,000 km since new. It's for people looking for small vehicles that usually have no trouble finding parking in the city. Visibility is good. The space is sufficient for short trips. Yes, the interior is plastic, so what? The car has everything needed for city driving (rear-view camera, adequate engine).
Pros:
Great for city parking, Good visibility, Sufficient for short trips
Cons:
Hard interior plastics
