Tire pressure light is always on with not pressure issue. Went to the dealership and they could not figure it out and just got new tires so that is annoying. The seats are also extremely low also can make it difficult to get comfortable. The radio switch button on the steering wheel also no longer works to control devices.

Excellent car to drive and own.
Nome runs smooth and dual engine. Gas saver doesn't make noise when you start engine or rev car. Very safe and reliable and good when on wear and tear on car. Doesn't waste gas when idling for large amounts of time. The suspension on the car is amazing the bumps run smooth on road and highways.

2012 Kia Rio is a nice small beginner car.
I really like the Kia Rio. It could be slightly larger, my back passengers feel like they have little room in the back seat. Also, the other things I wish it had are cruise control and Bluetooth. It is difficult for me to play my music having a cord run all over the place. Taking long drives can be a pain sometimes when you are constantly having to keep your foot on the gas pedal the entire time. Other than that, I have no other problems with the car.

Will buy again - great mileage.
I got my car used and not that much mileage on it. Heating and cooling takes a long time but it does still work. The battery was replaced, transmission was cleaned, 2 wheels needed to be changed in the 2 years that I had it. Does not need much gas to fill it up, it costs me $16 to fill it up.

Fast reliable car with couple things to be improved.
At 90,000 miles and needs back shocks and front cv axles changed. Engine runs good still and is pretty fast for a small car. Lots of trunk space. Some things inside falling apart. Seat recliner lever, gear stick cover, dash buttons. Haven't had any major issues.

Great first car for anyone looking for an economic vehicle.
I have no real issues with my Kia Rio. The only minor problems I may have is that the car sits real low. So if you are big like myself, it's a little rough getting out. The gas mileage isn't as great as I would like, but other than that, the car drives great.
Brett S
on April 29, 2021
It has a trailer jack for towing.
Car is comfortable, even for taller people. The gas mileage is not as good as you would expect from such a small car. Back seats are tiny if you scoot the seats all the way back. I have not had any major issues with the car breaking down, overheating, etc.

Usb plug for my music is great
I like the technology in my car. I like the rear camera the best. I dislike not being able to fit large items in it, kind of wish i had a truck or van.

The Kia Rio is a reliable, compact vehicle with great gas mileage.
Our Kia gets an amazing amount of miles per gallon. It is very compact, so it is easy to fit into spaces and it is easy to know how much room you take up while driving. For being so compact, we fit a 6'5' male, 5'9' female, a front-facing car seat and a bucket car seat. It is a tight fit, but certainly manageable.

I love how cheap my car is to fill with gas.
I really love my vehicle. It is super practical in every way. It also looks so cute. I love driving my car to work everyday. I also enjoy the tasks the car is able to help me perform. Just because I have a car it is super easy to get around anywhere. My cars radio also is awesome. I love listening to music while driving. This vehicle is the practical vehicle for you if you are looking for something easy and practical.

The car that floats on thin air instead of cracking roads.
No problems with my vehicle. Works in a great way. I drove over 3000 miles from Southern California to south Florida in 4 days and it gave me absolutely no issues. Good gas mileage and good ac when driving through the desert. Great car overall and nice to look at.

10/10 recommend a Kia Rio.
I love my Kia Rio and have not had any significant problems with it. The only thing I do not love is that the gas pedal is really touchy and sometimes jerks the car really fast. Overall, I definitely recommend getting a Kia Rio. It is a great choice whether it is for a new driver who needs a first car or a long-time experienced driver.
David C
on March 25, 2021
2012 Kia Rio is the ultimate commuter car.
A 2012 Kia Rio is a very reliable car. Very cheap to maintain and the gas is very affordable. The car has Bluetooth and an adapter for your phone. The car is very compact but still very comfortable ride. Great car for a new driver or for someone with a long commute.
Janet B

Why Kia is the way to go!
I really love my vehicle, it drives really smooth, is spacious I have two boys and they need all the room they can get and with my car they are comfortable. Everything you need is in this car, realizable no problems, you have a backup camera, lights inside when it gets dark outside, no to much buttons. It is just a perfect and convenient car. I have had this car for more than 2 years and it has not caused any problems.
Sophia T
on March 15, 2021
Why I love my Kia Rio hatchback.
Only check engine light used to come on for no reason. No other problems but the door will not open on the drivers side and no one knows the problem. Two people have looked at it. Other than that I love my car and I have had it for two years. Be careful with used Kias though. I am looking to buy a Soul now.
Lia B

2012 Kia Rio... I would say good car for solo traveler.
It does not have cruise control which is odd for a 2012. I haven’t had many problems. I keep it serviced. Maintenance is not expensive. I did drive it like a truck so I bought tires more often. It does not have Bluetooth but it does have USB port. The seats are low for some people.
Jessica L
on February 17, 2021
Kia Rio is an overall amazing car!
Too small in the interior, more trunk space though. Roof is relatively low. Great car that holds up in all seasons. Drives good on icy roads and can make it up steep hills no problem. Good for small families, can fit about 4 passengers alongside the driver.

Gas efficient (really great on gas)
Great on gas, easy to park, and cute model. I dislike that it isn't a luxury car. Weak engine
Brennan W

2012 Kia Rio white. Sedan.
Nothing major, comfort could be better. More tech on lower end packages. Radio needs bigger display. Seats need better cushion. Car is too low on stock setup. Need better rims. Gas mileage is very good and the HUD is simple which I prefer. Trunk room is spacious. Mirrors are good.
Sam R
on February 13, 2021
Good car for the price, with some quirks.
Overall, my Kia Rio gets good gas mileage, is reliable, was inexpensive, and has all of the features I really need. Some small downsides include some cheaper plastic parts on the outside of the car that are not the most durable, a heads info system that goes from only slightly on to full blast with only a small change on the knob, and some software quirks.
Nancy A
on February 8, 2021
Gas consumption is good and the vehicles is comfortable for driving and/or sitting in the back seats
The car is comfortable for driving long and short distances. Gasoline consumption and trunk capacity are good. The car marks easily on the outside, new scratches appear very quickly and makes the vehicle look more dated than it really is
Amanda F
on January 24, 2021
Others should know that my car is well worth the investment . It has been 6 years and my car has not had any major issues .
I love that my Kia is still running well after 6 years . I enjoy that my car is great on fuel and provides me with Bluetooth ability. I wish my car was able to charge my iPhone . It appears to not be able to charge my phone as I upgrade. I wish my car had an updated navigation system.
Alex F
on January 21, 2021
I have had this car for a long time it has not caused very few issues.
Really good seating very comfortable, is not very loud when driving. Does not feel to tight, lots of room. Not very confusing controls. Been years and everything works great still. Gas is a little on the expensive side but not to bad honestly. The car does not scratch easy but I have had many tires go flat, not sure if it is the car or my tires tho. Rides very smoothly, does not turn roughly. And the brakes are not very rough. Easy to clean after messy kids, easy to vacuum.
Mariah A
on January 20, 2021
L seeing as the seats are not leather therefore they do not get as hot.
It runs smooth for the most part. It is only useful for getting from place to place, not at all for looks. It is comfort level is at a medium. There can be a few minor issues at times if you do not keep it up to date for example the tires get worn out from hazardous roads and the smoothness is not the best at times from the weak resistance the car has.
Katherine T
on January 7, 2021
Kia makes the best cars around very reliable.
I got my Rio second hand and the first owner did not keep up with oil changes which can ruin an engine. This Kia has not had one bit of engine trouble. Gets about 356 miles on a full tank of gas and you can possibly take it further than that using the ecoboost. I have had five vehicles and this is the best one so far.
Denise M
on December 27, 2020
I love the fact that the flashers are really visible if you need to stop.
My car is comfortable and gets great gas mileage, especially on the highway! I have only replaced the battery and alternator once. The trunk area holds more than you would expect from a small vehicle. It is great for short trips around town and fits in small parking spaces.
John C
on December 26, 2020
This is a great little car for the money!
It is small and easy to park, not the best ride but pretty much maintenance free and it gets great gas mileage, 44. 4 gallon to the mile on the highway. It is small and easy to park and all the features you would want, PS, pub, automatic headlights.
Selena A
on December 26, 2020
I would never buy another vehicle as good as this one.
I love it. Great gas mileage, knock on wood no mechanical problems and I have had it since 2012. Lots of legroom and drives great. If I had to buy another one like it I would with no hesitation at all. The car is nothing special but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Everything in it and on it is the original.
Melanie S
on December 23, 2020
Good car for commute. Not good for mountain driving or traveling long distances.
It's too slow when you press the gas and too slow to stop if you need the brakes to work quickly. It's not good for winter weather, no 4-wheel drive, that is a MUST in Colorado. The windows are wheel down not automatic, which is hard if you want more than the drivers side open. There isn't any way to put things on top of the car, which makes life hard for traveling. I like the feature of having an AV port because I can play music from my phone. I like the features on my steering wheel, adjusting volume, and what I am listening to. I like the size of the vehicle, it's small and compact but is also a hatchback. I wouldn't buy the same car again though, the negatives outweigh the positives for someone who is outdoorsy and drives in the Colorado mountains.
Bernie A
on December 9, 2020
Comfortable and economical.
I bought the car privately, second-hand. It is very economical +/- 28 mpg in town driving. Have had no problems and the car has over 80,000 miles on the odometer. Very comfortable, I have done some long trips, over 700 miles, on vacation. Only complaint, I wish it had a temper 6 gauge..
Erin B
on December 9, 2020
Very reliable for the local driver.
I have had this car for about 9 years, and I haven't experienced any serious issues with this car. As long as you keep up with oil changes(given), then you should be golden. Very happy I decided to get this Kia Rio, very reliable car. Smooth, quiet on the road. Best of all would have to be the gas mileage, I do not think I have ever spend more than $30.
Diana S
on November 29, 2020
Kia Rio economical and reliable!
Kia Rio is a great economical and sharp looking vehicle; has been a great car for us! Great gas mileage and performs well! We have had it for a while and we highly recommend it to those who are looking for an affordable and dependable vehicle! We also have not had any major repairs and that is a must with us; as we are on a fixed income!
Ashley C

Go to vehicle for road trips: amazing gas mileage.
The check engine light randomly comes on which is apparently a know defect with in the car. I do wish Bluetooth was an available feature.
Mark Bradfield
on November 24, 2020
Horrible on gas
What's with all the reviews about good gas mileage? This car manufacturer was taken to court for falsely advertising good gas mileage and lost. Now we get money back every year based on our miles and it only gets me to work and back 4 times b4 it needs more gas (30 mins one way) My F150 has better gas mileage.
Todd L
on November 16, 2020
The dependably of this car model. Just maintain this vehicle and you will have years of very reliable transportation.
There is not much not to like. The car is very reliable. It is fun to drive. The car is comfortable. The car handles very good. The car is also very responsive.
Tevany A
on November 12, 2020
It is a wonderful, comfortable and beautiful looking car.
I feel that it does not provide stability while driving fast on the road, and the cooling system is not as efficient as required, and I think it consumes a lot of fuel in general. This is all. What remains is cool, exciting, comfortable and beautiful.
Kyle Z
on November 10, 2020
Overall report of the Kia Sorento.
Car is very reliable. The interior does not seem to last long seats are a little uncomfortable. Outside paint holds up to the rays of the sun. Ride is a little rough. Engine performance is very good a lot of power for passing. Overall this would be a good car for someone that is commuting everyday or just as a family vehicle.
Alice H
on November 10, 2020
Reliable car for young urban dweller.
It is very reliable and compact, so perfect for city living. It also gets great gas mileage which I take advantage of for commuting to work. It is a little bit small to carpool though so I would like my next car to have more interior room and cargo space.
Elizabeth J
on November 8, 2020
Comfortable and fun to drive.
Runs quietly. It is a hatchback with a lot of head and foot room. The hatchback makes it very helpful for moving large items. And purchases. I love the side mirrors because they do not leave any blind. Spots. The rear seats fold down and keep my dogs off the seat covers. The stock satellite radio has amazing sounds.
Jodi S
on October 23, 2020
Not a whole bunch in it like everything about it.
I didn't have any trouble when I got it later the gdi gas pump went out replaced it and haven't had any other trouble. Great all my family can fit in it. Love it but need something bigger just not big enough for my kids now because they're getting bigger.
Leah H
on September 20, 2020
I currently own a silver 2012 Kia Rio.
My 2012 Kia Rio is very reliable. Although smaller, it also has a lot of storage space, and I was able to fit enough stuff in it for me to move from Arizona to Virginia comfortably. In addition, it is also great on gas- it usually only takes about $25-30 to fill up.

It will always follow the speed limit.
It gets decent mileage. I don't like the white color. It's hard to keep clean. The seats threading seems done poorly.
Lisa F

Kia Rio summary- good and bad.
Good daily driver but loud road noise, no cruise control, manual transmission option weak. Gas mileage is great at 35+ mph. Light colored upholstery easily stains. Passenger seat sits very low and it is uncomfortable. Did not come with spare tire, rather an air pump. Good trunk space. No leg room in back seat.
Nicole L

Mark M

Great vehicle to have if it is just you.
There are no problems on my vehicle. I really like driving it but the only thing about it is that it is a little small for me. Pretty soon I will get a new car but for now it is very dependable so I am going to stick with it for a couple more months.
Herbert H
on September 5, 2020
Kia 2012 Rio: I probably could've chosen better.
Too compact for bigger people and head a lot of engine problems. However it has excellent fuel economy and great for everyday driving. I guess I would recommend it for anybody looking for a cheap car temporarily. Wouldn't recommend the upgrades because there is not much to them for the extra couple thousand.
Kara T
on September 1, 2020
Cute basic car that drives well and requires little maintenance.
It is a fun little car but this version does not have electronic locks or windows, so get used to yelling at your passengers to lock the door. It also does not have a backup camera or any remarkable safety features and still requires a key for ignition/entry. All in all it's a good basic little car.
Elizabeth J
on August 10, 2020
40 miles per gallon and is a 4 cylinder.
It gets terrific gas mileage and tells me how far I can go on a tank, mpg and mph. Hatchback gives me more room for larger items.
Marie L

Kia Rio's excellent features.
I love my car. It is comfortable and reliable. It seems sometimes to drag a bit on a acceleration. It rides smoothly and it is very quiet. It is roomy. It has great touch radio features. It has a backup camera. It is stylish. I love the quality of the radio speakers and that the car has a CD player.
Seth G
on August 6, 2020
Good for everyday use and budgeting.
It is a fine vehicle; it gets the job done for sure, and it looks nice as well. It is not very comfortable but for its size has good mileage and can carry a lot of weight. The car has been extremely reliable for me at its price point in 2020, even with how much I have had to use it working from home nowadays. All in all, not the best but good for what it is worth.
Joe O
on July 28, 2020
Rio runs well, good on gas, dependable.
My am radio stopped working after year 2, I have only had to replace a starter motor about 2 years ago. The car runs well, no major mechanical issues since the replacement of starter. It is good on oil, gets about 25 mpg around town and I have gotten around 35 on long trips on highway.
Jessica F
on July 18, 2020
Kia Rio: sporty and dependable.
It is a great reliable vehicle. Never had any problems with it. Great gas mileage. Good for family trips as well as a daily driver. It is sportier than you would think. Definitely gets up and goes when you need it to. Driven it daily for nearly 10 years.
Anthony R
on July 6, 2020
I love my 2012 Kia Rio, even though it is a little small.
My 2012 Kia Rio has been the most reliable car I have owned. It hasn't had any major problems at all, and I have even put random things such as led lights and 2 12' subwoofers in my trunk. My only complaint about the car is how small the trunk/cab space is. With four people 6 feet tall or taller, it would be an absolute nightmare to have. It has great gas mileage through and I don't have friends so we're good:).
Jay C
on June 29, 2020
Love everything about the car, it's perfect for my family.
I love everything about my car, it has been extremely reliable, comfort is great, I have a family of 3 and it is fine for us. My daughters stroller fits in the back which is great. Performance overall is great. Only disadvantage is that it doesn't have power windows or locks, but that is the way it was bought for me.
Loriana M

The Kia is a perfect size for our family. It is a reliable mode of transportation.
We are a three member family with one teenager. The vehicle (the Kia) is very reliable as far as getting our teenager to and from school and other activities. My mother (who lives with us) also uses the car at times in order to substitute teach at different area schools. It also gets very good gas mileage.
Jonathan L
on June 4, 2020
It is worth looking into and buying.
It is good with transmission. It provides good gas mileage. It has good speakers. Also it could be better on oil. It has consumed the oil. I find the car to do lesson far travel miles. It does not have a high pick me up. But not a lot of money put in to it. Even after 150000.
Melinda S
on May 28, 2020
Small but good gas mileage.
Haven't had any performance issues with the vehicle. The only problem I have with it is the size. It is small. It gets great gas mileage, so that makes up for it. The back seats fold down, provides more space in the back if needed. Also under the trunk is a spot for a spare tire, car came with a small air compressor for flats as well.
Randy H
on May 26, 2020
Fun times together with friends.
Good on fuel and easy to drive the car and fun to drive to the beach and good time with my friends. Good amount of power for a small car to drive. Nice product to use when you want to take a joy ride with friends and family. Nice times with friends going surfing at the beach.
Chloe O
on May 23, 2020
Sturdy Kia Rio - our 5th family member.
We drove it to the beach, through the mountains, on the beach. It was perfect the whole way through! We were moving better than the big trucks. This car has served me and my family very well these past few years. It is just the right amount of space for me and my boys.
Lindsey R
on April 26, 2020
2012 Kia Rio review. I love my car.
I haven't had much issues other than brakes. Great on gas, very reliable and never has given me any problems. I would recommend a Kia Rio to anyone looking for a small vehicle that is good on gas. I probably wouldn't recommend for anyone who likes to travel a lot.
Laura B
on April 22, 2020
My car is a small compact car. It had a fix a flat in the truck.
There has been a consistent issue with the starter and the fuel line. It has never had good acceleration and the car is very light. I have replaced the brakes and calipers on the vehicle 2 times. I have a terrible time getting the car to accelerate and no mechanic has ever been able to find the actual problem. The computer system has gone haywire and all sorts of dash alert lights go off when there is no problem.
jordan D
on March 25, 2020
It is a small car but big in tech and space.
I love that my car is smaller and is a hatchback style car. The technology of the car is very nice. The only real complaints I have is the road noise that can be heard when the car is being driven at higher speeds like when you are on the highway. I wish the seats in the back would fold in multiple ways to provide more ways to customize storage.
Amber S
on March 11, 2020
It's simple, but it's safe and good on gas.

My white 2012 Kia Rio LX GDI Love it
Having fuel problems right now! Grr!! But other than that it's a good car my three babies all fit in the back seat. Big enough for a family of five! The trouble I have is the blind spots you have in the front of the car. When you see no more car on the front you think that's it and you still have car there you just can't see it anymore. Like when you pull up to the sidewalk it disappears do to the blind spots.
Jessica W

Small easy to park and back up
It has great trunk space. Can fit 3 kids in the back. Storage under the truck can fit extras along with the storage compartments in the trunk
Caitlin A

It's small and gets great gas mileage.
The key for my car had been one of the most frustrating things I've ever dealt with, they break so easily and are such a pain to have replaced. The car itself is fine, nothing great and nothing terrible.
Ken W
on February 3, 2020
Great gas mileage: 28 mpg city, 40 mpg highway.
I own a 2012 Kia Rio sedan. It gets very good gas mileage and is relatively maintenance free. It is extremely reliable and is quite comfortable for its small size. There haven't been any major issues with this vehicle beyond normal wear and tear parts.
Brends J
on January 10, 2020
Kia Rio's are great for traveling and have a great warranty.
I love my car it is small but had a hatchback that allows enough room to put groceries in or put a suitcase and other items in to go on vacation. This car is great for smaller people and by that I mean short. You can easily see and it is comfortable to drive. I like it because it is silver and it looks sharp and it gets wonderful gas mileage. I get about 36 miles to the gallon so it is cost effective. It has Bluetooth so you can have hands free phone calls. It has Sirius radio.
Sam

Ana S
on October 27, 2019
The condition of my vehicle.
There is nothing wrong with my car, it is just that it is too small for me and my family. It runs good and the gas is cheap then most cars. The radio and the sounds are good. The seats not so much because it has stains from spills other then that the car is in good condition.
Kaitlyn C
on October 21, 2019
The best thing about the Kia Rio would be the great gas mileage that it gets.
It's very comfortable and gets great gas mileage but isn't great if you have children there is not a lot of room then. The room in the trunk is good depending on what you are needing to transport. I am able to get a few lawn chairs and a large stroller in the back!
Amanda S
on October 20, 2019
The 2012 Kia Rio is worth having to keep your family moving with no regrets!
Great little car! Never had problems with it! The only thing major I have had to fix was the brakes. This car gets 28 miles per gallon and practically glides on the ride. Handles corners good for a small compact ride. One major feature that its missing is cruise control. Features the Kia has is CD player, aux cord, power windows, heat, ac, power locks, hatchback back for much needed space, and rear wipers. Overall the Kia Rio is worth the money if you want a long lasting vehicle.
Sara W
on September 30, 2019
It is a small and comfortable car that will get you where you need to go.
My car runs well. I haven't had any major issues with it. The bluetooth connection sometimes doesn't work, and the button to roll down the driver's side window no longer works. The seats are a light color and are easily stained. But I still love my car.
Emma B

Kia Rio: The perfect car for traveling students.
My Kia Rio is a perfect car for my needs. It is compact, efficient and reliable but spacious and comfortable for transporting groups of people! I love the large trunk, roll up windows and comfortable seats. This is my first car, and everything is very adjustable and easy to find, making the transition a very smooth one. I can go very far with a little bit of gas, and even the sound system is easy to use and is great quality. My music is important to me while I drive. The doors lock manually, which can make getting in and out with guests a little more tricky but never an issue. I mostly use my car for transport to school, and it meets my needs perfectly. Overall, the Kia Rio has lots of features and personality and I expect to drive it for a very long time!
Stephanie B
on September 26, 2019
It gets great gas mileage. It has had no major issues since I've owned it.

Kia Rio a smart car that gets great gas mileage; performs and handles well!
We have not had any serious problems with our Kia Rio; gets great gas mileage; it is getting older and now the things that have to be repaired are more costly. Have loved our Kia Rio. We have had proper maintenance on it and replaced the usual; tires, filters and brakes. Service regularly!
Lori M
on September 12, 2019
Not worth the money, if you want a long term car, this isn't it.
This car continues to give me problems every day. It has stalled, overheated, blown hoses, etc. If I idle for too long (like at a red light) the car shuts off and is a pain to get started again. I have replaced many things on this car, probably spending more than it's worth. My negative experiences with this car has really turned me off of this company.
Susan M
on August 29, 2019
It is very economical & very stylish. Very easy to drive too.
My car is easy to drive & park. It is easy on gas also. I love the color & style of my car. I also love the low mileage on it.
Taylor L

Compact car with plenty of storage room. Perfect for small families.
Nice, smooth drive. Considerable amount of trunk space given the compact nature of the vehicle. Back seat offers limited leg room, but nothing too serious. Offers ecoboost driving, safer for you and environment. Car does require quite a bit of maintenance after driving long distances.
Liz S

Great Gas Mileage, Pretty Much Maintenance Free.
Had no problems at all, ride is not the greatest but on the highway it gets 44.4 miles to the gallon.

It is very reliable and great on gas
I really like my car. It has automatic everything, with bluetooth. I love that it drives so smooth and the seats are comfortable. It is also 4 door which I like. It would have been nice to have a gps built into the car

Kias come in many shapes & sizes & I would recommend Kia to family & friends.
My Kia Rio 2012 has been excellent with no problems I just use jiffy lube 2x a year & les Schwab and did Replace 4 tires from them. I have bought 3 Kias & had no problems. I always have had reliability with all of these. My Kia has a button eco & it gives great mileage - 36 mph. The dealer where I bought my Kia gives me free car washes & vacuums free anytime I go there.

The Kia Rio is great on gas. It is a great car to travel around town. It has had few problems only needing oil changes. The only thing is that it is a small car and sometimes adults may not have enough room in the back seat. The passenger seat also sits low.
The gas mileage is great and can zip in and out of traffic.

2012 Kia Rio cute 4-Door car
Cute 4 door car with a good size trunk and great mileage. Does sit low to the ground which taller people and people with leg or back problems might have difficulty getting in or out of the car.

The best car I have driven so far.
My car is very easy to drive. Its brakes are smooth, and you can see really well from all angles in the windows. It is small and petite, so it is easy to take it to the city and park it in small places. I have had this car for several years and it is good for beginners or long term drivers.

It is a small little sedan.
The check engine light likes to come on, but the vehicle still operates. It probably needs things replaced. I plan to use it until I can no longer. I am comfortable in the vehicle and I know what its capabilities are. Hopefully it will last me a few more years as I do not want to switch vehicles.

Basic review on Kia Rio 2012
Small, no space, low to the ground medium truck space, no arm rest, ok on gas, cheap, doesn't feel safe, wouldn't last long, drives smooth, good on highway seats don't give much legroom in back, passenger seat not really adjustable, cheaply made. Good to get around town

The back seats lets down so you can fit bigger items in.
I like the way it moves, it has 4 doors, roomy, I like the features and the color red, it reminds me of driving a sports car but it not it just a compact car that I enjoy driving.

One highlight of this car is that it has great acceleration.
I love my Kia! It has great fuel economy, has lot of room, and a lot of cool features. I have had this car for over a year now and have had minimal issues. The one thing that I will point out, however, is that I got into an accident with it and the airbags did not deploy when they should have. This is a known issue with some Kia models.

My Kia Rio gets great gas mileage, up to 37 miles to the gallon
I really like that the gas mileage for my vehicle is so high, and there's a feature that lets me know next to the odometer how many mpg i'm using at any given time. I really like that it has four doors and has buttons to automatically lock/unlock them on the key. I like that the car is aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

2012 white Kia Rio review.
Outer damage, air conditioning does not work are the only bad. When I bought new great car for many years it is small and cozy. Great on gas as well. Car is cheaply made as was told to me by an auto mechanic. I would recommend for someone who is I young and does not drink a whole bunch.

Reliability, acceleration, and gas mileage of 2012 Kia Rio.
It is a compact car with good acceleration. One issue is that the airbags did not deploy when I was in an accent. Other than that, I love my Kia. It gets great gas mileage, it is pretty fast, and I have experienced very few mechanical issues with it. Overall, it is an excellent vehicle.

2012 Kia Rio a spacious sedan.
I have had no issues with my car, it gets very good mileage, handles well. As the only owner of this car it is been totally reliable in the almost seven years I have owned it and I feel comfortable that I am not bombarded with features, there's just enough technology for me. Because I am an older driver, I still enjoy manual locks and windows which I have and the newer features like the alarm that reminds me to take my keys from the ignition before exiting the car or the automatic shutting off of my headlights a few minutes after I exit my car when I forget to turn off my lights are great for someone forgetful like me. Anyway, I would recommend the Kia Rio for anyone, they have surprisingly spacious cabins and trunks and basically give you a very good deal for your money whether you purchase a relatively bare bones manual model like mine or opt for a fully automatic one with all the bells and whistles. I am sure all of Kia models are fine, but I really love my Rio!
