First Impressions:
The build quality of the car is quite good for for this segment. Feels solid. The steering and pedals are light and the driving position has plenty of adjustment for comfort.
The suspension is great at absorbing bumps and portholes, just as good if not better than my Suzuki Swift.
I've got steel rims on the Picanto which further improve the comfort. Steel has good dampening qualities. Alloys, on the other hand, are lighter so they provide better performance and fuel economy.
