college girls dream car - 2004 Kia Rio
By dmr0824 - December 31 - 2:00 amI bought this car for my daughter who is a freshman in college, she absolutely loves it. Was looking for an inexpensive new car, that would be dependable, good warranty, and a car I felt she would be safe in. This was it. I feel the gas mileage could be better, but I drive a durango and get 13 miles to the gallon, so I shouldnt compain. Overall she loves it, the style fits he, wanted something small and cute. Great 1st new car for her, when she is out of school, he younger sister is looking forward to it for her first car.

My little bug - 2004 Kia Rio
By donald roberts - August 15 - 5:33 amI think my Kia Rio is a pretty neat, reliable car. If I had a son or daughter Id feel safe in giving it to either of them for a 19th birthday. It has never given me any mechanical problems to deal with and the gas mileage is pretty good too. However, I think I will trade it in on a Toyota Prius at the end of this year, if I dont buy a new home.

Makes Every Mile Count with a Bit of Fun - 2004 Kia Rio
By 12String - December 13 - 10:00 amFor the small entry level price, Ive got a large warranty, good performing but small 1.5L motor that returns consistent high 30s MPG. This little car handles very well on the back- county roads I have to drive to get anywhere - unless I creep up to insane speeds that some testers drive to. This car is ALMOST as good as my late, lamented 91 Mazda 323 Hatchback.

Rio review - 2004 Kia Rio
By daveworgan - December 2 - 10:00 amThe exterior styling is more appealing than most small cars in this class - the interior is nicely appointed for a budget-priced vehicle. The ride is quite controlled and overall is comfortable to drive. Its not a luxury performance car, but then I didnt expect it to be. Ive driven mine (2003) 13,000 miles and have been very satisfied. No problems.

Enough Car for the Road - 2004 Kia Rio
By Light foot - July 22 - 12:43 amMy only beef is that if you happen to be stuck in the middle of nowhere with a burned out tail light, and eager to replace it before you get back on the highway, dont rely on the owners manual for proper instructions to replace it. Even the dealers tech had difficulty. The company needs to send every owner an addendum that truly instructs on how to replace a tail light. Otherwise you will be one frustrated driver and prone to a police stop. The existing manual has only two instructions. The second one is "Carefully remove the tail light assembly from the body." Duh!
