I have a curious question to ask.
To all picanto owners: Does your car feel jerky while travelling on the road?
My picanto seems to give me bumpy rides.
If yours is stable, mind sharing with mi how you manage to do so?
thank you!

Jerky as in rides I supposed. Most of the time smooth unless on uneven surface which is normal. Suspension is on the hard side original, with lowered shock shd be no better.

Yupz, for small cars, esp our picanto suspension, going over sharp humps diagonally is like being inside a rocking boat. Other than that, travelling on normal road is very smooth for me. Love my pica at high speed (not more than 100 on sg road tt is).

As for mine ride with front struct bar and 195/45/15 tires, it help to reduce the unbalance the ride... but petrol ... still ok now... ex was 1 / 15.8km and now 1 / 13.5km.. i think is abt the tires...

Perfect value for $$ ride except the front nose too short.. Hopefully facelifted picas will have longer front. Will look nicer from front view.

You can test how durable your Picanto is when driving on Malaysian N-S expressway. I do know of Picantos that travel more than 130km/h.

Of course, at such a high speed, the ride will be a bumpy one. Try upgrading the suspension to sports shocks or whatever and increase the rims size to 14".
For those using 15" rims, try to go for ultra-light rims like BBS to reduce the weight. It should get you back to 15km/l.

Chg 15" light wheel but bigger tyre, total wt of wheel and tyres might not be lighter than previous.
