2013 Kia Rio Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I love how compact this vehicle is and how easy it can be to park within a busy urban city. Additionally, it is a very reliable, drives smooth, accelerates great and has barely given me any issues since ownership.

Good gas mileage, cool design, simple features, easy to drive, comfortable seats, no problems with engine or electrical issues, a good car for kids because of airbags, a good car for hauling items because of hatchback feature.

It is small and compact (exactly what I need). Lower price point but lots of features (ie touch screen radio, backup cam, etc). Nice acceleration. Easy to park. Easy to drive. Very cute. Feels very safe to me. So far have had no major issues with this vehicle.

The pros of the Kia Rio is the reliability of this car. With regular maintenance, this car is easy upkeep. Also the gas mileage, both in town and in the highway, on this car is amazing, also offering "ECO" driving option.

I like that my car is small and compact. It is easy to drive and easy to park. The visual field is good. I do not have a lot of blind spots. I like the hatchback because it gives the illusion of more space.

Reliable, safe, excellent gas mileage on highway and street, easy to drive, does not require a great deal of maintenance, stylish, comfortable, roomy for passenger travel. Great trunk space for travel and transport.

It is very dependable. I have owned the car used since 2014, and it has had zero issues. I do keep up the recommended schedule maintenance on the vehicle, but it still runs as smooth as it did the day I bought it.

It is small and good on gas. It is also an affordable price and a fairly safe vehicle to drive. The windows are crank, which may or may not be good to some people but I like it because it is one less thing I have to worry about glitching.

In terms of cons - transporting items is difficult, there is not much space inside the car or in the trunk. Also, I have had some connectivity issue with the Bluetooth in the car and my iPhone since I have owned it. I am unsure if this is common within this type of car, but it has been fairly consistent.

Its very small, tall people feel cramped, it's noisy on the highway, the USB hookup does not always work with my iPhone, it does not have a video of what you are backing into, you have to lock each door individually.

Sometimes it is difficult to see out of the sides of the back windows when reversing. When it rains the windshield fogs up and there is no setting that works to defog the windshield except for air conditioning, and that includes needing the AC in the winter.

The cons of this car is that with the car being so small, you can feel every little bump in the road. Size comes into play once again when it comes to traveling. Going higher speeds as well as when the weather has high gusts of winds, this can cause the car to shake on the highway.

My car does not have a good pick up speed it takes a while to get to a high speed. There also is not any cruise control I would like to have a cruise control. Since it is a small car there is not a lot of legroom in or height room.

My particular model has manual locks and windows, which have been accidentally left unlocked on a handful of occasions. I do not have a clicker to unlock or lock my vehicle, which sometimes makes it difficult to find in a crowded lot.

The only complaint is the gas mileage could be a little bit better. It is a small tank, so you do not notice it as much, but it does go through it fairly quickly. There really are not any other cons about the vehicle itself. They could include a bit better stereo radio system, but that has nothing to do with the car itself.

The shape is awful. I hate how the back end slopes upward, preventing me from being able to see properly out the back window. I feel like that is a safety hazard when backing out of parking spots and doing turnabouts.
