Still using a 1st gen picanto. 10yr+ clocked 150k.

changed parts, inc labor;
absorber - 1x (2pcs) (RM300)
ball joint - 1x (RM60)
lower arm - 1x (RM200+)
top overhaul - 1x (change gasket head, change all new pipes, radiator cleaning, etc etc) - 1x (RM1200+)
Fuel/gearbox filter - 1x (RM100-200 if i can recall, every 80k)
Aircon & timing belt - 1x (RM200-300)

I service at enoes 1utama after warranty ended. rm120+ for semi, every 7k. Normal service only.

Parts I buy myself and sometimes I get outside workshop to pasang with small fees.

RM50+ can gives 350km 100% city drive.

Cabin noise n comfort are still best compare to viva, myvi, axia. (as i usually rent those car while outstation work, some even brand new with few K mileage, fyi) Especially assemble parts, still intact nicely, not like those falling apart.

But RV is worst compare to the above mentioned car.

So conclusion, it's reliable and not costly to maintain a KIA. And parts are available easily.
