Kia's tiny tot Picanto is the definition of cheap and cheerful motoring, with just enough features to compete with bigger, dearer rivals.

2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI review
Take it from an existing Golf GTI owner – the new Mk8.5 is brilliant. It's as sharp as ever, and remains the benchmark all-round hot hatch.
