Should I get a Vauxhall Corsa or a Kia Picanto?

I've seen a 2007 Vauxhall Corsa and a 2009 Kia Picanto for the same price. Which should I go for?

Answered by Honest John

The old shape Picanto was reliable, but basic and belt cam, and no longer warranted. Also very small. If the Corsa is a 1.2 I might be inclined towards it.
