tested the EX last week at dealer, love the handling & features
was first choice replacement car for my wife to get the GT variant
but was put off by having the last pre-reg 2019 unit, color can't choose also, and no more GT variant
so went to other principal KIA showroom, and OMG... it's like a haunted office, no one at the counter, standing at entrance few minutes no one soul to come attend me, I think if I go cabut their PC at counter and run away also no one knows, managed to find their showroom up stair, it's dark & dim, & dusty, then from a dark corner a SA show up like a ghost, asked him about Picanto GT, told me it's hold up in the port, I can try to place order, but no discounts, no offers, no confirmation whatsoever... WTF...
really got put off by this principal KIA 3S center, no way I'm buying a car with this type of after sales center doh.gif

Thanks for the referral. Unfortunately, at my side, am out of stock for Picanto EX. In fact, most outlets as well.

I'm looking at Kia Malaysia's facebook now. Got a number of complaints about the spare parts waiting time is too long. There was a guy who had to wait 3 months just to receive his spare parts.

I wanna ask other owners here what their experience is like regarding spare part waiting time. I'm considering a Kia Picanto, but these comments are really frightening.

Thanks

I also aware of this issue. And then I bought iriz haha.

Anyone tested ron97 on picanto 2018?

Any difference? In terms of mileage, power or consumption.

Since now petrol price is low, feel like trying.

Try for fun and placebo effect. Otherwise no benefit in term of the parameters you mentioned.

I have a cerato and it's the best car I driven in that segment. Pains when people still believe in Kia cars having zero spare parts (we aren't in 2010) and bad RV. (I buy car to drive and use not to sell)

Just to share...

I have a Kia Spectra 2005 and a Kia Picanto 2019. And I totally agree with you on the spare parts and bad RV comments. Just because I'm sending my 15 year old KIA to a workshop my boss started barking how his 22-year old HONDA CRV is a much better car than mine shakehead.gif

He doesn't even know or bother asking the problem first, and simply put a badge by saying cars like KIA are bad and not long lasting. Like 15 years of good comfort ride and almost trouble free is not good enough for him since he clocked longer years doh.gif I'm absolutely appalled by such thinking.

I absolutely love both of my KIAs. The KIA Picanto is an absolute joy to drive, fast and nimble, handles really well.

There is currently no stock for Kia Picanto in Malaysia. Sales outlets are also unable to take any booking unless, there is news on incoming stock. Will update this thread if there is any new development.

Picanto got stock now?

Planning to buy it as my first car. thumbup.gif

When I told my parents they just laughed at me. They really have low opinion of KIA. Not sure why. They die die want me to buy Myvi instead. I actually did some research I found out that Picanto has more safety features vs Myvi.
