  Tom - 2007 Kia Rio
  By Thomas Erickson - November 2 - 12:56 pm

  The best thing about this vehicle is the fact that it gets 30 miles to the gallon. This is especially important due to the fact that I work 30 miles away from home. Another aspect of this car that appeals to me is how much room this little car has and how comfortable it is. It is an excellent vehicle for the money. I have 5 speed manual shifting, and the only problem I had, at first, was figuring out how to put in in reverse. You need to pull up a lever, pull the shifter all the way to your left and up to put into reverse. Once I got it, however, there no longer was any confusion. This is a minor set back.

  Excellent Car - 2007 Kia Rio
  By Michiganpastor - November 23 - 10:00 am

  I bought my car brand new and now have over 106,000 miles on it. Ive had almost no problems. I replaced 2 wheel bearings and just now changed the front brake pads which still had life in them! I changed the timing belt at 60,000 by choice. It hadnt broken. Thats it. Everything else (except the tires) are original. Gas mileage is low 30s. They told me Id get 40mpg but that doesnt happen. I have an automatic by the way. And yesterday I hit a deer broadside at 55 mph and the car just kept on going! Never even knocked it out of lane. I was flabbergasted. Its $3100 in damage but I can still drive it. So far its been one of the best cars I ever bought.

  Excellent Car in its Class - 2007 Kia Rio
  By mwide - November 19 - 8:06 pm

  The Kia Rio5 SX is actually a fine car. The mileage has been excellent (though not quite what Id expect), the ride is very good and the design is really eye-pleasing. Overall, no one who has been in and seen this car can believe that it is a Kia and that it comes in at such a low cost.

  A fun car at a steal price - 2007 Kia Rio
  By Sam - December 24 - 4:30 pm

  As I was comparing around, my 1st test drive immediately told me I got to have this baby. It was smooth and fun to drive. PLUS very quiet with low noise. It is really a great car to own without burning a big hole in my wallet. The fuel consumption is great too. I get 15km/l with 50% city and 50% highway driving.

  In love with my little Rio! - 2007 Kia Rio
  By rachelheartsrio - November 24 - 10:50 am

  I bought this car used with about 17,000 miles on it. In 8 months of my long commute, Im up to 31,000- with no problems! This car is sporty, fun to drive, and very reliable. The design is exactly what I was looking for- compact, but cute and spacious on the inside. I get compliments all the time, and I love to brag about the great gas mileage and performance of this little car. My only complaint is it struggles over the passes (I live in Colorado), but I think any 4 cylinder would! All in all this is an excellent vehicle-- great value for your money!

  Kia Rio 07...actually love it - 2007 Kia Rio
  By iamninja41 - August 9 - 8:23 am

  I went from an 03 impala to an 07 Rio. Lots of loss in room, But much more gained in MPG and Reliability. Definitely not a family car, but for a high school or college student, work car, or first car, this is perfect. Cheap off the lot, cheap on gas, NOT cheaply made. An extremely nice car. Definitely not luxury, but who needs that expensive stuff anyways.

  Best economy car choice - 2007 Kia Rio
  By digitaldrifter - July 21 - 10:56 am

  I have had my Rio for a few months now, and still love it as much as when I bought it. I test drove an Elantra just before I drove the Rio, and I didnt notice any difference in the ride or power. The 5 speed manual is a blast, with a light clutch, and the engine really starts kicking when over 3500 rpm. The suspension is excellent, as is the fuel economy. It is noticeably taller than most other cars, making you feel more like youre driving a van than an economy car. It has more interior room than the Toyota Corolla.

  Kia has another winner in its hands - 2007 Kia Rio
  By mdibenedettosr - May 1 - 2:00 am

  I love my Rio5, its great on fuel and it handles the road like a BMW. The styling inside and out is very nice. I love the black interior with the triple stitched red thread. I got my car in the sunset orange which really pops in the sunlight.

  i love my kia rio - 2007 Kia Rio
  By racahellee97 - November 8 - 1:10 pm

  i never ever though i would drive a small car again after getting hit and hurt in a bad car accident a few years ago. i have a suburban but the high cost of gas prompted me to look into a new car. I bought a used 2007 kia rio in march and i could not be happier!!! i adore my car. the color, the gas mileage, the compliments i get, the glares when i fill my tank for less than $35. its very fun, very sporty and puts a huge smile on my face when i get to sit in it. i never though i would ever drive a small car again, but with all my air bags, i wont be looking back.
