[Starian]

hey guys is 19k a good buy for a 07 picanto opc?

juz got my licence thinkin of gettin a picanto for weekend use.

 

of cos it a good buy, cos not i buy,

 

for your own sake, state the details so that we can analyse for you, buy car is not like buy veg or meat, just by saying the price and the age, equal ppl will give u good advice...

So lucky, you only got fuel pump brokedown with Picanto. I smell petrol after top up my previous Accent with full tank of petrol (I am not glue/petrol-sniffing type). Among reasons I sold it away.

U can't expect high expectation from a korean car lo, esp korean cars which were made many yrs back.

Anything to do with the temperate climate (Korea/UK)?

Picanto is reliable car, driven to thailand twice just need to replace the wear and tear parts.

Only UK is temperate, summer in Korea is hotter than Spore.

Read it could do 100-0Km/H within 41metres, impressive for compact car, and Kelisa needs 45 metres (can rear-end Picanto if tail-gating)

So lucky, during road test got lectured for testing the brakes (laugh). Did not buy one after road test (suspicious about the braking restriction during road test)

the best car(cos only first n 2nd car i drive is picanto) i ever drive. 7yrs liao, still doing good. if COE low again, i still buy the same Picanto again :P due to easier to park n less maintenance

Picanto really easy to park and maintain, but space wise too small la. Also nowadays seems like dont really see many picanto on the road.

hi guy. i just brought a 2nd hand 2006 picanto for company use. i realise that the fuel consumption is not doing well enough as a 1100cc. my car only can click around 310km full tank with normal driving. Its that normal for pica?Bros pls share thanks.

FYL, fully original spec no mod..

Owned it for 5 yrs before i sold it, really a very good compact car.

if 310KM until the lights up is really bad FC for your car.

My manual one can hit between 490-520KM if i dun remember wrongly depends on how much highway and city.

try to change all the fluids and service the trottle body/clear some carbon.
