    Smooth and quiet car with plenty of power, loaded with extras, great stereo and unbelievably low price. My 3rd Kia and I’ll keep buying them. The Rio is a hidden treasure.

    this car has 80,000 miles on it. It speeds up very slowly and the revs are really high. also going about 70 the cars rpm are at around 4500. this car has no power. next it gets about 26 miles per gallon, but i do hammer it everytime i speed up because the slow acceleration, i probly could get around 35 if i really tried. also i slid into a curb in the winter under 5 mph and the frame bent. thats weak. also if you use this car in the winter the heat is poor. this is not a very smooth ride at high speeds either, but you get what you pay for!

    I really thing this vehicle is a good buy. It is inexpensive and really stretches your dollar. It rides smoother than my fathers much more expensive car. For what you pay you get a lot.

    This is my second Kia, both the same model. The first was in an accident with an 18 wheel tractor trailer and a guard rail. The car was totaled... demolished and I walked away without a scratch. The divers cage never collapsed even after it flipped over after hitting the guard rail and being hit by the tractor trailer doing at least 65 miles an hour. One heck of a safe vehicle.

    i bought this car for my wife to drive back and forth to school. it is very reliable and fuel efficent and who can beat that warranty. down side rides like a buck board needs power steering,and dont ever pull out in front of traffic and think you have enough power to sneek by.
