2003 Kia Rio Reviews
| “Ok For A High School/ College Car” I bought the car in April of 2007. It was the first car I ever owned. I didn't like the fact that it was an automatic. It was awesome on gas. About 28 mpg. Didn't look to bad, But it just couldn't handle the use and abuse that i put it through.
Pros —
Gogg gas mileage
Cons —
really small

2003 Used Kia Rio Base
It's a perfectly good economy car. I hate that I got an automatic, but the warranty ROCKS so I've never had to worry. I trust the workmanship - no major issues in the 5 years I've had it. It's cheap to maintain, but the gas mileage is not as good as I'd like.
Pros —
Cheap to maintain, well-built
Cons —
kind of boring

| “It Gets Me Around Town” Reviewing:
2003 Used Kia Rio Cinco
I bought this car because it was small but roomy, and is fairly good for reliability and mileage. While it doesn't thrill me the way my nice little volkswagon jetta does, it does get me around town. I'm not sure I'd want to take this on long trips though, because it is not comfortable at speeds over 65, and it just doesn't have the smooth ride I like. The mileage is also not what I would wish, its only about 22mpg city, which in my opinion is very low for such a small car.
Pros —
I can fit a lot of stuff in the hatchback, and it is great for city driving.
Cons —
A lot of my friends with longer legs seem kind of uncomfortable in it, and it doesn't have the really great gas miliage I would expect from a smaller car.

2003 Used Kia Rio Base
It's a car. It has an engine, 4 wheels, 4 doors, a boot and a bonnet, and all of the basics most cars have. The ubiquitous silver with a gray cloth interior.
Pros —
It runs, it's cheap all around
Cons —
it's pokey and dull

| “Great Car For Average Sized People.” Reviewing:
2003 Used Kia Rio Cinco
This is a great car for the economy. We get roughly 30 in the city and 38 on the highway when we keep it at 65 and under. This is with three adult and luggage.
Pros —
Gas mileage, reliability, nice stock sound system
Cons —
Not enough room for six footers but I have made the ride 800 miles with 2 stretch breaks
