the most fantastic thing in my car .. not all the models.. is the plastic black border ..that protect it and other cars
and don't require to repairm it every small incident
In general it fits our street in syria and its size is so resonable
I recomend it to every one

Pros — the plastic black borders
Cons — the reticular shape of the radiator cover

This car is great for someone who doesnt have a lot of money and needs reliable transportation. This car has all kinds of features such as heated mirrors and seats as well as a awesome sound system. There is a lot of headroom. I am over 6'1 and have problems getting in and out.
This car has a sporty look to it as well. It can be a little underpowered at times but overall I would suggest this car to anyone who needs a small inexpensive and reliable form of transportation.

Pros — Great Styling
Good Sound System
Lots of Headroom
Sporty Looks
Decent Handling
Lots of places for your trinkets
Heated Seats
Heated Mirrors
Great Quality
INEXPENSIVE
Great Gas Mileage
Cons — Engine Underpowered at times
No trunk release on key chain
No cup holders in the back
poor leg room in the back

For nearly the same money you can get the new Honda Civic with more power, more economy, and better resale. So why buy the Kia? The answer is the warranty and the fact the Kia pricing is very much a haggling price proposition and the Honda Civic is much in demand.

We tested the Hyundai LX and the “station wagon” or Rio5 model with a base prices about $14,000 with an automatic transmission. We always question buying an automatic vehicle when price and fuel economy are the two main reasons for buying a small car, but nevertheless it has a good power train and could handle the four speed automatic. We got just under 28 mpg in mixed driving, far less than the 29/38 government rating, The manual transmission might yield another mile or two per gallon in town and is the most fun to explore with, but if you drive mainly in town the automatic is the easiest way to go and you get better mileage on the highways.

Pros — Nothing
Cons — Everything

This Rio, loaded to the gills rang in a full $5000 less that a basic Honda Fit... And could drive circles around it.   With a set of 16x6.5" wheels with 205/45/16's on them, this car could corner phenomenally.  It would start in any temperature, do about 650 km to a tank (45l) and was actually pretty fun to drive.   Had it not been for the consistently horrible service that I had received at *EVERY* Kia dealership including the one where it was purchased I would have kept this car.

Pros — Price, handling, looks, features
Cons — The dealerships, short clutch life expectancy (though mine had no problems)
