Kia Picanto 2012 1.2 EX Man

[Eyenstyn]

I have checked other posts regarding the Kia Picanto 2012 but I am still curious as to whether the performance of the car is admirable? I am also curious about service costs, part costs and maintenance costs.

I was wondering if anyone has this car and could comment about their experience thus far?

I have linked the specs as it does have a 4 cylinder engine:

I know this is an old post but i found it just now, so for future users that want to know. I have owned the 1.2 ex for a year now and its been incredibly reliable. I drive from Muizenberg in Cape Town every day. No issues and the performance is very good. If i put foot down you reach 120 with ease and the acceleration is awesome for such a small car. It struggles a bit on the hills if you going below 90 in 5th gear. above 90 you can accelerate on a hill which i found very impressive
