What is your opinion of the new Suzuki Alto and Kia Picanto. Which is best?

I'd say Suzuki Alto, despite its three star NCAP crash test results. It's a newer car. But if you want proper folding rear seats, the Picanto's fold flatter. Both tested at www.honestjohn.co.uk The Nissan Pixo is almost exactly the same as the Suzuki Alto. Picantos, Altos, Pixos and i10s are all built in India.
