Driver Insights
Feedback from local owners shows that the Picanto 2016 is chosen mainly for convenience: it is small, predictable, easy to run, and inexpensive to maintain. Drivers who use it daily in Colombo mention that light steering, small dimensions, and good visibility make it stress-free in peak traffic.
Local owners often describe the 2015 Rexton as a “big, tough SUV” that feels most at home on long runs, estate roads and rougher surfaces rather than tight city streets. The diesel engine delivers good pull once moving, especially on climbs and overtakes, but initial response in heavy traffic feels more relaxed than sporty.
