I've had this kia for over 12 years and only have 35000 miles on it, not joking, and it's so far very reliable. It's easy to park, and it's GREAT on fuel. However, I don't feel very safe and the engine is rather unrefined and works hard to pull the car around. I hope this will last till the next 12 years.Jun 14, 2013

nica car,very economical and basic performance.Just read other reports and agree what a great little value car a Rio is. A lot of so called road tests are very biased against Kia - most people can’t afford the expensive cars Clarkson crows over so as a Kia owner I would advise anyone to go and make their own mind up you wont be disappointed. The Magentis is a great value for the money car as well second-hand.Jul 18, 2009

I have a 2001 Kia Rio; it would be a great little car if it worked properly. It lacks power on take off but once you get going it works great. I'm not really keen on the color of the car but I'm very please with the aerodynamics. It's small body makes it easy on gas and it handles very well, even in the winter months.Apr 19, 2009

Looks infinitely better with Tint, Rear Spoiler, Alloy Wheels and Xenon Lights.
Plastic interior, things rattle sometimes.
And can't expect too much performance from a car that cost $16000 (AUS).Jun 27, 2008

Nasty Color the Kia Rio was bright yellow, cheap, and reliable. I drove him from TX to NY and back with zero trouble. Cold A/C in the summer, warm heater in the winter, and a fantastic warranty. Kias are not "sexy." But having money leftover after making your payments is sexy.May 01, 2008

J'avais 95 000km à l'odomètre quand j'ai eu un accident avec (Perte totale).
Sauf l'entretien général, je n'ai jamais eu à déboursé une cent dessus.Apr 06, 2008
