Hyundai Getz 1.3 or Kia Picanto or ? Hello everyone, I am about to pick up a new car. After driving 50,000 km a year, the consumption is extremely important. After searching through the forum, I have always found totally contrary statements about this theme. From 5.1 to 10 liters everything was there. With statements like “…after x kilometers I have consumed half a tank ..” are useless. First, it is crucial that the car is well driven, w if “good” means NOT to heat with a new car with full throttle over the highway. Secondly, it is important WO was driven. City / highway / highway and how was driven. With air conditioning? Summer? Winter?. To calculate the consumption you proceed as follows: 1. Full fuelling, odometer to zero. 2. Consciously choose the driving method: economical, normal, sporty. 3. At the next tank fill up and calculate: tanked liters x 100 / driven kilometers = consumption. For me would be int This will be my most common driving condition. You can read it already: I live in the speed-limited Switzerland. I am grateful for hints! Many thanks to all who can give me reliable information. Greetings Michael

Hello Kia municipality, in March the order of a Kia Picanto was ordered in a blue metallic color. At the beginning of June the car should be there. In mid-June then came from the car dealer the call that the car was now delivered. Why ever pulled that and in the past week you got the data to transfer the purchase price and the dealer wanted of course the EvB number. Said, done. Today the seller called and said that he had a good and a bad Nachric The car is registered and then he called the bad…. The car is white instead of blue. But we would be all people, as he said. Now it should be chosen whether the white car is taken for a new price, but without the extra charge of the metallic color or it has to be waited another 6 weeks, because the car has to be ordered. What is not understandable is that the car was at the dealer’s two or three weeks, and he had not noticed that the car has a different color. What can you do? Best regards

At my Kia Rio ub is a red coolant in the tank,was at the kia directly to get me a new bottle of coolant because they advised me to go directly to the kia because they could not determine the color of the coolant, but the color of this coolant is green,mixing I heard is bad,in the balance tank there is only little left, should refill, what should I do? pump and refill or what do you say,Thank you in the vora ==References==

Hello! I would like to buy a car again. It should be small, automatic transmissions and best equipped with parking sensors, rear-view camera and seat heating. Now I’ve been looking around again and again online for quite a while and finally came across the Kia Picanto GT. In white I like the mega and also the interior equipment I like great. I was already at the dealer, I got the booklet and so on. If I really get a new car e (with me day registration or a new used one would rather be because of the price), then I also want a good equipment. Speak Navi package and technology package (P4 and P5) should already be in there. Unfortunately, the technology package also includes the smart key..I don’t like at all but I would like to park sensors and climate automation would be quite nice. I also think the Advanced Driving Assistant (P1) makes sense.. or what do you mean? And so sunroof would be quite nice. Well. Now to my actual questions. I would like to do a test drive. Now the only available automatic car of the dealer where I had requested was sold but unfortunately. But if I want to buy an automatic car, does a test drive with a circuit bring me nothing…especially because I also honestly did not drive a circuit for a long time. Do you have any tips where I could still try it or a suggestion that I could make to the dealer? e like to compare several offers. Actually I did not plan to spend over 10,000€ (or even more in this case) for the car, but I really like the Picanto and I would want to keep it for a long time. Only would be nice if I would find a good offer. Could also wait a bit for it. But where could I find good offers? On the internet I find the selection (or I look wrong) not exactly diverse. I live in Hamburg, the Aut o but also pick up somewhere else in Germany, if the price is right. Maybe you still have tips from good dealers or something. And it should be the latest model, right? Or do you say the older models are just as worthwhile? Unfortunately, I don’t really know myself well, but the Picanto GT has done it to me. And what are your experiences – can you still get the dealers to discounts and if then rather with cash payment or financing? Maybe also many stupid Questions – but I am grateful for any help.

Hello dear Kia-Forum, I usually drive around in the Renault-Forum. I hope you can help me as well here. It’s about the Picanto 2 (TA) of my girlfriend. He got a new clutch (complete set of LuK) 2.5 months / 4,000 km ago. Since Kia refused to meet us at the clutch with just 48,000 km / 3.5 years, a free workshop changed the clutch. However, the car always made a bit of noise, but drove like ne and now the car was inspected by the Kia dealer and since then the noise has been quite extreme. I uploaded a file that I recorded with my mobile phone directly under the engine/gear unit. It should be noted, the noise is only available with completely undefeated clutch, no matter if gear is inserted and moving or standing in idle mode. If you put only one foot on the pedal very easily, so the noise is gone. I did this a few times in the audio recording. Who can help. My suspicion would be something new at the backstock. In a similar thread it was then a bearing of the transmission input shaft. Thank you very much.

Hello, my friend is currently driving an Opel Corsa with 1.4 engine and 100 hp (EZ 10/2012) and has driven almost 40,000 KM. So far there were no problems, the fuel consumption is about 6.5 – 7 liters depending on the driving method. Yesterday we saw a current Rio in black in a parking lot, either completely new or freshly washed, beautiful aluminium rims etc. That looked great. Unfortunately we could not ask the owner, therefore my request to you: How is the general reliability of the R io? Are there special problems? Which engine should be used (not so lame or fuel eaters)? What is the general material quality? Are the inspections more expensive than generally in this car class? How are the dealers on it (mostly smaller plants)? The 1.4 with 99 hp and the 6-speed transmission might like, because no turbo and direct injection, therefore probably more problem-free. Maybe it also does the 1.2 with 84 hp. Due to the good experience with the Corsa she wants to have a m may not experience any brand change deterioration. Thanks for the help. Greeting Jüppken

Hello Rio community, I have already typed my fingers sore, but obviously I ended up as a pollen allergy sufferer in the wrong car?? Various car parts portals lead a lot of interior filters, but just no pollen filter for the new Rio YB. The “overly customer-oriented” Kia dealer Hemmerle here in Munich has just told me that the part employee has work at 5 pm (it was 4:54 pm!) and before I get any more unqualified answers from dealers, I thought I asked in the Motortalk-Rio-Forum! I hope you can help me! Greetings and good ride with the glitter shortty

Hello! I have a question about a roaring side noise, which makes our Picanto 1.1 (May 05). In the under-touring driving operation, especially in the 1st and 2nd gear, when we leave the driveway, it roars under the car. Not very loud, but clearly audible! Today my wife was with the car for the first inspection. I had typed on a loose thermal guide plate – somewhere under the front car. I had looked under the car last week when changing on winter tires, nothing found I thought that the Kia workshop could do that today! Their explanation: Some Kia (& also Ford) would cause internal motor imbalance in the said operation – hence the roaring. There is nothing to do about it – but it would mean nothing more – except that it is roaring! Who can say something about it? Who has this problem himself, or at least heard of it? What explanations do you know? Can you do something about it? bye at the expense of Kia!? Bye

Dear forum participants, I urgently need your advice and help with a Kia Picanto purchase. 1) Consumption of petrol – diesel one can assume that the diesel is approximately 4.5 l on average and the petroler is 5.5 l (spritmonitor). What experiences have you made? 2) Will the Kia Picanto crdi be delivered with a particle filter, which is also tax recognized? How much do I pay for taxes? 3) What is a good price for a Picanto EX, metallic ? 4) Is the term “day registration” a disadvantage? what do I mean by a storage vehicle? 5) Are the Internet intermediaries serious? What do you have to pay attention to? I would be very happy about answers!
