Introducing: Black Picanto

 
Who am I? I am a 2012 Kia Picanto 1.2 painted Galaxy Black. Unlike the 1.0 model, I come with the following standard equipment:

• 15" Kia "Style D" alloy wheels with Hankook Kinergy Eco 175/50R15 tires
• LED headlights and taillights
• LED third brake light
• Chrome door handles
• Metallic silver inner door handles and handbrake button
• Power door locks with keyless entry system
• Driver's side SRS airbag
• Leather/cloth seats
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob
• Leather door trim
• White trim on dashboard, steering wheel and shift knob
• Vanity mirrors on sun visors with LED lights on driver's side.
• Stainless steel pedals with dead pedal

In addition, my sound system has been upgraded with an OEM system that has the following features:

• AM/FM stereo
• LCD touch-screen
• DVD player with CD and MP3/WMA/AVI playback
• TV with NTSC/PAL/SECAM support
• Bluetooth 2.0 compatibility
• USB/MicroSD/iPod support
• Papago! X8 GPS navigation
• Back-up camera

I was purchased from Kia Motors Global City on 24 August 2012. My first tank of gas was Shell V-Power Nitro+, but subsequent refuels will be exclusively Petron Blaze 100. My car washes are done through DriveBright Auto Wash & Care in Quezon City and I am frequently detailed using the following products:

• Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer
• Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax
• Meguiar's Ultimate Protectant
• Countless amounts of microfiber towels from Blade

Special thanks to the following:

• Kia Motors Global City
• DriveBright Auto Wash & Care
• Sticker Works
• Sure Seats (leather seat covers coming soon!)

This blog chronicles my adventures through Manila traffic and travels through various places in Luzon, so stay tuned for more updates to come!
