Overview & Reviews
One of America's least expensive cars now comes in sedan or wagon flavor. Dubbed the Rio Cinco, the five-door Kia provides 44.3 cubic feet of storage space with the rear seat down.
- Unbeatable price, peppy engine, decent build quality relative to price point, inoffensive styling, great warranty package.
- Unrefined ride quality, power windows and cruise control are MIA from the option list.

The Little Rio That Could - 2002 Kia Rio
By RoNiN - July 19 - 12:46 amThis is a follow-up on this car. In short, I bought it early summer 2008 USED with 69K on the odometer. Its coming up on 100000. By the end of this year itll be beyond that. Things Ive replaced so far are four sets of tires about 5 oil changes and a right rear wheel bearing that was going. Other than that, this car is still going. I live in Florida and without AC youd die out here. I have not had to refill the AC unit yet. Its still going strong. One of the best AC units out there. Im going to put tint on the windows this winter and see if thatll make a difference. Im still on the original brake pads when I bought the car.

I hate this car... - 2002 Kia Rio
By alvaniceia - March 22 - 10:00 amI bought my Kia in October of 00 and was pushed into it I felt like, by the dealership and sales guy. I bought the car basic. No A/C no radio, no power steering etc. Manual...First of all the air bag light has been on since about 25thousand miles have been on my car, Im up to about 80,000 miles and the air bag light is still on for no apparent reason, Ive taken it to the dealership in Highland IN several times in the past the service is HORRIBLE, they treat U like CRAP! Every visit to try to get the light right I waited 4 and 5 hours at a time only to leave and before Id make it to my door step the light would be on again. I love the model but hate the car

Desert Diver - 2002 Kia Rio
By bobbytimmy - January 1 - 9:10 amHas been a great daily driver thus far. Brakes and maintenance have only been minor thus far. Outstanding Air conditioning but noticeable pausing from time to time. Were getting 33 mpg on mostly cross town driving (60 miles daily}Air is on 1st setting.
