A detailed review of the 3rd Generation Kia Picanto 1.0 litre Automatic (JA) including a comprehensive overview of the interior and storage space. I drove it in the city, the country and on 70mph roads. I reset the trip computer to see what the efficiency is like on each drive. This particular car is a GT-Line with 66bhp and a automated manual gearbox.
