Kia Picanto 1.0
* All the information you need
* Are you entitled to the cash?
You simply can't ignore the price. Yes, the Fiat Panda is more refined and the Hyundai i10 has more standard equipment, but both will cost you 500 more to buy.
In this price bracket, that's a lot, which explains why the Picanto is one of the most popular cars bought under the scrappage scheme so far.
Its 1.0-litre petrol engine isn't really up to doing regular motorway jaunts, but it will help to keep your running costs down, thanks to its low fuel consumption. Cute looks and standard five-door practicality make the Picanto well worth a look if money is really tight.
Key equipment
CD player (four speakers), driver and passenger airbags, electric front windows, split-folding rear seats, tilt-adjustable steering wheel.
