dont take it personally! bit of humor. i think its a crap idea that all the money you now spend on a car and a spare wheel is "an optional extra":eek:. but it does come with a can of tyre weld in your £50,000 car sir:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I know. I thanked your post Missing smiley on the end of my reply, I was joshing as well.

I certainly agree with that - why Kia exclude it from all Picanto models apart from the base model is beyond me.

Probably because the base model is intended for Eastern Europe/some other relatively deprived area that values common sense over silly tax bands and marginally-increased boot sizes etc They just buy in a bunch of them to sell to the MSE crowd :rotfl:

The base model is a 4 wheels (well 5...) and an engine job so you may be right. I love it.

I am impressed that you got a spare wheel with the base model, my neighbour has a 55 plate Picanto, she has a tin of splodge, no spare wheel.

Personally, I wouldn't buy a car without a spare wheel.;)

As I said, any other model (2/3/Domino/Graphite) have the tin of gunk. I don't know if you can spec spare wheel as an option but I know you can buy the kit from the parts desk for c.£100
