We have both, automated Cutlets and Manual Pica:
Cultus:
Soft and enjoyable ride.
Front seats are okayish but rear one are really bad
Interior is very basic.
Satisfactory Cabin insulation.
Excellent fuel economy even you push it around (15km with AC and 17km without it and almost 20 on Motorway).
Okayish AC but only during this time of the day (12pm to 5pm in summers) .
Relatively cheaper parts when compared to Picanto.
Its a tin dabba(catches rust very quickly specially engine bay and behind bumper area).
Picanto:
Hard ride, I am not a fan (not made for our streets for sure, suspension could have been a bit soft, get a softer tyre or increase the tyre wall by going down 1 inch on rim size).
Both front and rear seats are super nice.
Interior is super nice
Vey good Cabin insulation.
Very poor fuel economy in bumper to bumper traffic(but fuel average is on par with Cultus if you drive it around on less congested roads) (14km with AC, 16 Km without it and 20km on Motorway if you drive it around 110km).
AC performance is Sedan level.
Relatively expensive parts when compared to Cultus.
Its not a tin dabba.
If you apply brake in a panic, like go full throttle on it, Abs also behaves in a similar manner and it will take its sweet time to stop the car but if you apply progressive force, it will stop very very quickly. For some reason brakes are very grabbie when applying progressive force.
P.s. Pica is much heavier compared to Cutlets, so the more peeps you are going to fit in it, its going to effect its economy.
