Hi all,

Am considering to get a small car for my daughter. Am interested with Picanto or Rio year make 2013-2014. May I know how's the availability of spare parts considering wear and tear would be more for a 10 yr old car. How reliable is Kia models?

why would you choose this car? a myvi is better if reliability is a concern.

Too many Myvis around and not cheap even if 2nd hand.

I like the the newer Kia design style. I also always thought and read that the newer Korean makes are quite reliable. Used to own a Hyundai Accent for 7 years, only did regular service.

How is too many Myvis a downside? You get more spare parts supply and this also means there is better repair shops availability. You want to drive a reliable car or be unique? There is a price to pay for being special in owning a car.

A Myvi is expensive? It's the most popular car in Malaysia, maybe it's highly sought after for a reason? When your daughter wants to upgrade and I think a Myvi will still fetch a good price whereas a Kia... Just be glad that if someone is even willing to take it off your hands.

I have not owned a Hyundai or Kia but they do not have a good reputation. Their rep is so bad that the new accent / avante / sonata is nowhere to be seen. I am not sure about your thought process but you do you.
