Why does the Kia Picanto take so long to change gears?
The reason the auto ‘box slows it down is the time it takes to change gear. It’s basically the manual gearbox with a robot doing the clutch and gears for you behind the scenes. Every gearchange takes a second or so to complete, which can be a bit frustrating but, if you really want an auto and can accept its foibles, it’s okay.

Which is better Kia Picanto or VW up?
The Kia Picanto’s non-turbocharged 66bhp 1.0 MPi is pretty much the default choice.
