Kia Picanto [Merged]

[McLeor]

pinuntahan ng wifey ko kanina lang yung isang dealer in pasong Tamo (not sure kung sinong dealership yun), she said na hindi daw masyado maganda yung orange color nito compared sa picture sa internet....mmmp. Pero cute na cute din siya even then. Dunno baka sa honda orange niya based yung pagka compare niya sa color. She was told that the new batch P320K will arrive next month..(lower end ata)...and yung A/T eh baka next year na daw yun. tagal naman..

Sir theveed, ibang topic to..pero para isang post na lng, yung Big Berts ba eh may malapit na malilibangan (like Malls or Movie house) para habang intay sa oras if I get my car 3step detailing? Ilang oras ba aabutin yun average kapag engine, body and interior lahat lahat (saka estimated cost na din po??).

Guys sorry, medyo tinamad mag post sa ibang thread :bald:

[theveed]

Magandang araw po, newbie here.

I have a question for those who already have a Picanto: With the seats folded down, can I fit in something 26-inches high loaded from the back?

It's our dog's kennel (24"w by 36"l by 26"h). =)

[jaemee_w64]

hi guys. I've inquired sa kia bout the picanto and somehow na-disappoint ako.
1st of all, have you seen the official website ng picanto? lupet diba? with all the specs of picanto, that's why na-attract na ako sa kanya the first place, i said " for a P320K car, its good to be true. pero kung totoo nga lahat ng specs and features na naka-lagay dun then no question about it, un nlng papa-bili ko sa husband ko kahit maliit.

but then nung nag-inquire na nga ako, they said na manual lng yng lalabas nila and they are not sure if they're gonna release an A/T picanto (maybe depende sa sales ng M/T), then ndi sya all powered, power steering lng daw, wlang airbag, wlang ABS, wlang central lock, walang CD player (cassette player lng/FM stereo) basta halos lahat ng bagay na naka-attract sakin dun sa website nya, WALA. well, naisip ko din, what do you expect at a cheap price? kala ko pa naman sulit na sulit na.

it made me think....
shld i rather have a 2nd hand all powered honda city/vios instead?

lumalabas, para lng syang kia pride na pinaganda? and the only colors na rerelease daw nila here is blue, silver, orange and red lng. walang black, waaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Also, nabasa ng husband ko sa newspaper na 70 units lng daw ang lalabas nila ngyn. so tingin ko ubos agad un.
wish ko lng maglabas din sana cla nung, all powered, A/T, basta yng europe version, hehehe. yng nasa website. misleading e, hehe. my fault, ive expected too much from this car

[jaemee_w64]

323f:

thanks for the info. ill try to check it out pa rin tomorrow, lapit lng pala samin, one ride lng. d2 lng kami pasong tamo, bundia e.
baka sakali pag nakita ko in person yng picanto, mainlove ako ulit. like nung ma-impress ako sa features nya sa site.

PITER:
try to visit the official website of kia picanto, meron dimensiond dun nung car, might help. search mo nlng sa google yng site, i forgot na din kasi. anyway, pag nag-visit ako 2moro sa kia to see it, post ko din d2 info. actually, un din isa nagustuhan ko dun sa picanto, yng foldable seat, coz may dog din ako, though i would have no prob with the size kasi miniature lng dog ko, hehe. and yng crate nya kasing mini nya. update 2moro

[alex manalo]

jaemee_w64,

yup, merong lalabas na euro version and sabi nung isang agent probably in 3 mos time, price is more or less 400K. malamang yung agent na nakausap mo na nagsabing "malamang hindi lumabas yung A/T" e gusto ka lang pakuhanin nung version na unang labas.

[RafRaf]

talo kaya ang jazz? (drum roll)

[RafRaf]

any update sa km/l?

[jaemee_w64]

alex:
oo nga e. u think we should wait for the release of the europe version. gusto na kasi bumili ng husband ko ng car and he's planning to buy one this week pero 2nd hand na toyota altis. 339 thou A/T all powered, like new condition daw. mas ok kaya un kesa the europe version ng picanto at 400K bnew.

[vernal]

jaemee_w64:

"toyota altis. 339 thou "

parang ang baba masyado, anong year nito maam?
if the car is in good condition and if you can get car's historical info, it seems ok.

just want to share...
My friend before bought a lancer glxi automatic and end up with 20-25k repair cost for the automatic transmission. Medyo hindi rin ganoon kadali humanap ng magrerepair ng automatic.

I suggest you get pica then upgrade those things that you want to be powered.


btw, i'm selling my vitara(all power , manual tranny) just in case.

[jaemee_w64]

yup, oo nga ang cheap e pero 1996 or 97 model lng yta kaya mura. e kung ako lng masusunod mas gusto ko tlaga ng M/T kaya lng maarte yng asawa ko (japanese kasi e) mas maganda daw pag A/T. sabi ko yoko ng A/T kasi nakakaantok. boring. e sabi nya mas ideal sakin A/T dahil i always drive with our 3 year old son so para while driving daw ndi busy both hands ko i could attend to our son in case kunwari maglikot or may gusto kunin or whatever which doesnt make sense coz why would i attend to my son while driving, edi nabangga kami nun. basta.
pero diba mas sirain din ang A/T kesa sa M/T, how much pla vitara mo?

[pissword]

sir jaemee.. if you're driving the car, at kasama mo lagi ang anak mo you're better off ata with a BRAND NEW picanto kahit na picanto lang siya, at least brand new... mas safe pa rin ang feeling compared sa almost 10 year old car na

just my 2 cents

[niky]

I'll wait till they have airbags...

as for the kuwento of the AT of the Lancer... grabeng MAHAL magparepair ng pu**^&-inang INVECS...

[alex manalo]

jaemee_w64:

nagpareserve na lang muna doon sa signet boni, and sa haba ng waiting list (most of kia dealers have such list now for picanto), malamang abutin ko pa yung pagdating ng euro version. but if ever available na yung first version, malamang yun na rin yung kuhanin ko kasi kailangan na rin talaga namin ng car for everyday use.

pero kung di lang talaga kailangan pa, i'll surely wait, ganda kaya ng ganung kaliit na car na all power at less than 400k hehehehe. but then i'm still keeping my fingers crossed, wag naman sa tipidin at ibahin ng todo yung ilalabas na high end, hopefully mag stick sana yung Kia doon sa specs na nirelease nila sa EU.

[vernal]

alex: how long now is the waiting list in signet boni?
