So I just came back seeing the picanto in person for the first time.
The car isnt bad at all, yes it's a tidy bit smaller then a cultus in our mind. ( when we say cultus we think of the 2001-2017 cultus).
The interior is pretty well put, the paint job on the car and the fit and finish is extremely well.
I wont mind buying it over the Cultus AGS anyday, Specially because the car looks gorgeous, the road presence is very pretty.
Reliability and durability would be a time test for kia Pakistan
The inside day night mirror, side heated mirrors, a full automatic, are minor improvements over the Cutlus.
The seats are very comfortable compared to the body seat of WagonR, I havnt tried Cultus seating.
So it's a win win, if I am looking for a car in this budget I'd rather borrow some money and move to a sedan, even a Xli AT. But if I have to buy a hatch back. I guess I would definitely buy picanto over Swift and Cultus.
