TV host Mike is certainly a fan of the two city cars, saying: "They're almost the perfect first time buyers cars, they're uber reliable, it doesn't matter whether you're buying one that's one year old or 10 years old - they're likely to have the same reliability.
"They’re incredibly stylish as well, and there are some lovely options you can do to those cars to give them a little bit of a facelift."
Sun Motors' Rob Gill described the Picanto as "cheap, easy to drive — and the perfect car for both young and old" when he took one for a road test in 2021 after its recent facelift.
He added: "Still unmistakably a Kia: Bow-tie front grille, ice-cube running lights, more colours than a tube of Smarties.

"Not quite as cool as a Volkswagen Up! perhaps but the Picanto is cheaper and has way more kit."
Rob recently got behind the wheel of another Kia - the whopping seven-seater Sorento - which he says comes with everything you could possibly need and boasts a bargain price tag.
