In this era of ever larger SUVs and UTES, small cars should be promoted. My second car is an 18 year old Hyundai GETZ still going strong! I'm not short of a quid, but we still need a 'shopping trolley' car. Thanks for this review. ps. it'd be nice to see more tiny cars waiting in the wing of car companies.
Great video. Our smallest engine available in the US is a 3 cylinder Mirage. Its sales never took off, particularly since it won the “Most Dangerous Car on the Road” title based on IIHS crash tests.
just want to say welcome back fellas.. been pumping out them videos consistently now appreciated! edit: I like the edition of a child's opinion. something don't really hear regarding family car reviews
I don't know about Australian prices, but here in Denmark you can get the highest equipment Citroën C3 for the same price. Feels like KIA sat the price high on this one (although I understand the "GT" label adds to it).
Overseas markets get digital climate control and either seat heating/cooling (for driver only), heated steering wheel and electric glass sunroof..KIA Australia yet again, goes cheap out and still charges full price.
Yeah but if you work out the price of those cars in EU offered with the extra features as you mentioned you’ll find the price works out to over $25,000 Australian. Plenty of cars here already that you can buy for that price with those features but hardly any here in the sub 20k price range.
Hi @chevcheryl - the Picanto GT does have keyless entry (there's a button on the door handle you press) but it doesn't have keyless start - so you do have to put the key in it to start it up. Thanks for watching!
Hi LJP - if you enjoy your driving and have the budget go for the I20N - it's great little hot hatch straight out of the box, but we reckon if you went with the Picanto GT you wouldn't be too disappointed either, but it's definitely more of a "warm" hatch. However, upgrade the tyres and suspension and it could be a little giant killer! Thanks for watching!
Gearing too long? That's what a 17 year me would have said. Taller gearing is king when it comes to converting hydrocarbon fuel in to distance travelled. No such thing as too tall a gearing, just too little torque.
Thanks but i am quite dismayed that everyone is reviewing the GT Line only. Any chances you will review the base model?

Love love love this car and hope more people choose it if they don't need a huge car. It's soooo pretty too😃😃😃
I love mine ❤ UK model which has more extras than this
The UK gets full digital climate control, front seats are both heated as is the steering wheel, also navigation is standard on the GT range
Looks nice. If you wanted to wanted to lower it Would you recommend lowering springs? Would this help fix the body roll ?
The best car in the world!

Thanks for the reply guys.
Is it keyless entry and keyless start?

Which one would you choose the little Kia or Hyundai 120n ?
