Great For Small Family — Fun, cute little car. Good for small family. Good gas mileage, handles well, even in snow. Has been reliable and hasn't had any problems. AUX port makes it easy to plug in my ipod and listen to some great music. Not a bad sound system for a little car either :-) Primary Use: Family transportation

I Love It! — Performance: not bad for a 4 banger, and the handling is amazing Build Quality: no repairs needed so far and it only rattles when i go REALLY fast Appearance: exterior is very pretty once i got rid of the pinstriping, interior has very cool red and black cloth seats Cost of ownership: great gas mileage--average about 30, no maintenance Fun Factor: for being a little four cylinder, it is very fun to drive because of its small size and excellent handling Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsThe gas mileage is the best around. For the year it was made, it can't be beat. Just an all around good dependable vehicle with no problems at all. ConsThe back seats are a bit small for larger people.

An Excellent Vehicle For Getting Around Town Or Going On A Trip Is Even Better. — I have saved over a zillion dollars on gasoline using this vehicle. I average 36 miles per gallon around town and recently, as well as when I first purchased it, I get an average of 42 mile per gallon right now. That is going a speed of approx. 68 mph. Getting up around 73 mpg, you lose some gas mileage. It is the vehicle to drive for gas savings. The trunk is large enough for plenty of luggage if you don't have three kids or more. I have used it to transport two folding bicycles and they fit very good. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsThe good looks & stability. ConsI could use more power.
35
My Point Of View — Performance - moderated pickup & brake. Excellent handling. Build - Quiet & stability comparable with Honda, Toyota. Appearance - Interior is spacious with 2-tones effect, exterioris what make me decide to buy it. Cost - Budget to buy but petrol is a little heavy on the pocket. Overall, its a friendly car with a healthy power to petrol ratio. Feels like a continental to drive, steady & stable. | ||

Dont Ever Get In A Rollover Accident In A Kia Rio — I liked the way it looked and the monthly payments were good..Drove it 6000kms from Nova Scotia to Alberta and it was pretty comfortable..The overall price wasnt as good as I thought it would be and the resale value isnt the best but the worst thing about the Kia Rio is pray that you dont get side swipped while turning on a green light and rolling your car a few times because when I did it I almost died and the worst part is none of the airbags went off!!and they say 5star safety rating no wayyy...Even tho it has airbags in the 4 doors,wheel and dash..none went off until the tow truck flipped it back on its wheels....total write off:/ | ||
