  You would be surprised, pleasantly - 2004 Kia Rio
  By psalms2711 - April 28 - 2:00 am

  I am thoroughly pleased with my 2004 Kia Rio. It has so many features that I never would have expected in a car costing 13000.00 fully equipped. An Excellent value and very comfortable to drive.

  Kia: A good little car - 2004 Kia Rio
  By tieghan - March 11 - 10:00 am

  A cute little car that has a suprisingly peppy engine. Great big warranty for a low vehicle price. Comfortable interior especially the front, back is adequate for adults but much better for children. Expanded leg room in the front( more than I had in my Mazda MPV). My gas mileage averages 24 city and 30 highway. Overall great value for the price.

  The Princess and the Pea - 2004 Kia Rio

  The suspension system is very poor, you feel every bump on the highway and every crack in the road. Otherwise, I am very happy with the car.

  We Love Our Kia Rio - 2004 Kia Rio
  By Wing Family - April 3 - 2:00 am

  We bought our Kia Rio after doing a lot of reaserch, we wanted a car that had great fuel economy, was not very expensive, had 4 doors, and an alarm system. We found it all with the Kia Rio. We are very happy with the purchase. The warranty is excellent (100,000 to include everything but preventative maintnance.) We have roadside assistance that came with the car. The preventative maintnance is very good. We only have to change the oil every 6000 miles. Overall, we are very happy with our choice, it is a great first car for a family who is just starting out.

  The Good, the Bad & the Ugly... - 2004 Kia Rio
  By Single Mom w/2 teens - March 16 - 7:43 am

  My car is only two months *new*. I have a 4-door sedan, automatic, air- cond., am/fm/cd and the upgrade pkg. but no power windows/doorlocks. A bit hard getting used to NOT having those in a car but I can live without it. There is plenty of interior space for those sitting up front, however, those sitting in back have relatively NO LEG ROOM. Door handles etc. inside are obviously cheap plastic and somewhat ugly though functional. Engine needs more power, especially driving uphill on freeways as well as simply trying to pick up speed to merge onto a freeway or to pass other vehicles. Fuel economy is great! Overall decent and driveable car for the price.

  Good Commuter Car, Got it a Great Price - 2004 Kia Rio
  By pslims - November 10 - 1:53 am

  I got my 2004 Rio last month. I was looking for a commuter car to drive about 20-30 minutes on the highway to work. So far I am pleased with the car. It was manual transmission (the automatic drove horrible) and manual windows, locks, no ABS, no stereo. Overall, I am happy with the car as a commuter car. I probably would not have bought this car but for the price I paid, it was definitely worth it.

  Buying a used Rio - 2004 Kia Rio
  By Rio Owner - July 29 - 8:10 pm

  I recently bought a used 2004 Rio. Overall it handles beautifully on Highway and city driving, 45 MPH is ideal. On the freeway it is a rough. I live on a hill and it feels like I am driving over ripples when I hit the brakes to slow down. It is a little alarming at first, it feels like a flat tire. I do like the car, it looks nice also and can be found relatively cheap used and with low miles.

  New car - 2004 Kia Rio
  By itsmecloie - June 2 - 2:00 am

  I recently purchased a 2003 leftover, I was leary at first because the Kia company has not been around for long but I am VERY happy with the Rio. Its small but has lots of room, Its sporty and the fuel economy is incredible!

  By kia krap - May 26 - 3:03 pm

  Ive had my Kia for a few months now. The car has no take off. It ran at 4000 rpm going 65 mph then it dropped all 16 valves and blew the pistons into pieces
