Our Kia Rio has only needed minimal repairs (except for our carburetor, which needed to be replaced). We've loved it is simplicity and consistency. Slightly higher gas mileage would be nice, but it gets us around la traffic excellently. There's a good amount of storage space in the trunk for a little car.

It came with tinted windows.
I like my little Kia Rio hatchback. It is a 2013 lx edition. It gets good gas mileage, has a decent amount of space, and fits 5 people. I haven't had to perform any major maintenance on it yet except the ac assembly line, which was my fault. It is a great little car.

Reliable car perfect for traveling.
In the winter the car heats up very quickly which I love. The acceleration is not that great though sometimes you have to really step on the gas. The car fits 5 people and has a nice sized trunk. I have had this car for maybe 6 six years and it is very reliable especially when I travel.

This car is amazing it does good when I've been ended three times.
No problems it's comfortable and gets great gas mileage the replacement parts are affordable as well. Id definitely buy another one. I wish my radio hadn't stopped working through. For no reason it just died. I miss my music and i've replaced fuses etc. But I love my car.

I really love all features.
I love the space of the inside. It is steering wheels are not stiff so I will advice you take it easy when turning. The boot is spacious also. It has not given me any problem even though I got a used one. I can somewhat rely on my brake but just to be extra careful I still need to check the brake fluid. Oh, and I love how the car self locks after I put my hand brake down.

Awesome reliable performing car with tons of room.
I have never had any problems with my car. It has been very reliable and has got me everywhere I needed to go. It is performance goes from slow to very fast such as from zero miles an hour to 100 miles an hour and a very quick amount of time. As long as I keep up with the oil changes and the regular keep it is very easy for the car to do well. There have been no problems and it has never been at the mechanic. It is very reliable. It was a very comfortable car and it has very much room for me and my two kids. They have a lot of legroom in the back and if I ever have anyone in the front they also have lots of legroom. I would recommend this card to anyone needing a reliable car that performs well and needs a comfort because it has done all those things for me very well.

The design on the side of the car.
No real problems so far just the tire pressure and the gauge system in the front of the car. All in all it is a amazing car it’ is a comfortable to drive in no engine problems yet well every now and then. I do not like the leather seats they are kind of uncomfortable especially when the sun is on the seat when the car is not on or just chillin in the sun.

The Kia Rio is a fairly decent vehicle.
The Kia Rio burns through oil very quickly. The car sometimes shuts down while driving it. The car is horrible on wet roads. The car does have an option for traction control, but sometimes the water is just to much for the small car. It will wobble all over the road on the smallest of puddles at time. It goes very far on very little gas. The car is very small but has a lot of trunk storage. The car also has quick take offs and goes very fast very quickly. The seats are cushioned and are prone to have stains. The seats are very comfortable and can be raised by a handle on the side of the seat; which comes in handy. The car has aux cord plug ins as well as an USB port. The heating and cooling system works very well; however as soon as you turn the heat on it gets very hot; and the cooling system makes the whole care freezing. You about have to roll down the window.

Overall I love this car, it provides comfort, safety and everything I need.
I absolutely love this car, it is small and comfortable. I never have to worry about my safety I feel very safe in this car. One thing that is nice is the Kia Rio provides a smooth and safe ride for the driver and passengers. This Kia Rio is very reliable and has protected me since day 1.
Francesca C

It seems very safe and seems to be lasting a long time.
I dislike that the passenger seat is so low. I dislike that i cannot change the color of the radio. I like how the car drives tho.
Cristine N
on March 27, 2021
Why I rate my Kia Rio 4 out of 5 stars.
My Kia Rio has a smooth drive and acceleration, its compact but not as small as let's say the hatch back model. One of my favorite things about it is gas mileage it takes me 15.00$ roughly to fill up the tank at 1.75 per gallon and I get around 35 mpg so gas has a long life with this car. The microfiber seats clean easily and other then the doors and windows not being automatic it has a nice modern interior.
Leigh L
on March 14, 2021
I only got it for 11k! For my first car I am paying for, I love it.
I adore the gas economy and how little gas I actually need to put in - 10 gallons max, a lifesaver with increasing gas prices. It feels smooth and is very cozy. The seats are a bit difficult to maintain, and it takes damage pretty easily, but otherwise it definitely gets the job done.
Rachel J
on March 14, 2021
2013 Kia Rio great dependable car.
Power lock passenger side does not work. Lining to plastic fell off. Love the heated seats. Great gas mileage. Cheap to fill up. Passenger seat sits a little low. Great on the highway and in town. Love backup camera and Bluetooth. I would purchase another Kia.
Liz L
on March 14, 2021
Kia Rio, a good, affordable sedan.
Very comfortable, lightweight, good mileage, eco friendly, good airflow, lots of storage, easy to control, easy to keep clean, doesn't overheat, good for commuting to and from college daily, overall a very well put together care good for commuting to and from work, good carpool vehicle.
Russ E
on March 12, 2021
It is way too low to the ground. While driving in a slight incline the front end will scrape the street not matter how slow you drive.
It is not an ideal car. It is too low to the ground. Also has a poor resale value.
Francis L

Great on gas mileage. Has a switch to conserve on gas
Great on gas. A hard to get into. Sometimes a little slow because it's a compact

This car is definitely a hidden gem!
I like that it is great on gas. There has also been minimal upkeep to it. It has lasted much longer than I had expected!
Missy G

I have the manual 6 speed. It is fun to drive and great on gas!
I have not had many issues with this car. Other than regular maintenance or repairs like brake pads, etc. The only problem once was it wasn’t accelerating properly and didn’t seem to have power. The mechanic replaced spark plugs and did some kind of transmission flush. I also started using premium gas all the time. This seemed to help.
Kate P
on March 1, 2021
I love my 2013 Kia Rio so much.
My car is small, cramped but comfortable. The car runs fine however needs some work done. Breaks are quick! I love how zippy it is and it moves great. Being it is a 2013, I didn’t expect it to be as good. I absolutely love this car but I wish it had more leg room in the back of the car and I love how big the trunk is.
Danielle P
on February 15, 2021
Kia's are reliable! I never have to worry about my car getting me where I need!
The only think I have found is that it is a little bit low, and the gas mileage is not what I was originally told. I had been told it would be 35 miles per gallon and that has not been the case. But I do get where I need to go and had have not had any maintenance problems. All in all a very good car.
Chelsea B
on February 13, 2021
Very reliable and affordable.
There is no center console makes for a little less storage and small comfort issues. The passenger seat sits significantly lower than drivers seat, though as the primary driver this does not affect me, it is very noticeable when others are riding with you.
Suhei N
on February 9, 2021
Very good, economic car for elderly people that just drive around nearby places.
Too small and I am having brake issues. It's really reliable, doesn't waste a lot of gas. Cozy from inside does have a really good color and it runs good and a/c works perfectly. Might need to change the tires on it and the master cylinder, has sum few dents on exterior body.
Kay S
on February 5, 2021
It's small and compact. But I'll never get over how much get up and go it has.
I bought this car and wouldn't tag it for a year due to funds. Even after that year and it sitting, without me starting it because I was too young to realize I needed to, it started up perfectly. To this day 2 years later this little car is still perfect for my kids and I. Never any issues and beyond amazing on gas. I am reluctant to even try to find a new car anytime soon, I just don't want to switch!
Alyssa A
on January 29, 2021
Cute reliable car perfect for travel.
A compact car that gets good gas mileage on and off highway. Good stereo although its outdated in a way that only reads iPod if you connect through USB rather than aux. Large, roomy trunk for small car that can be expanded by folding back seats down. Love it overall.
Katie M
on January 29, 2021
Dependable car with great gas mileage.
Seats stain easily, back door lock sticks, paint is not common and not easily repaired, hard to get in and out of if you have any joint problems or if you are very tall as it sits low to the ground. Great gas mileage, low maintenance, easy to get an oil change anywhere.
Emily R
on January 29, 2021
Great gas mileage. Great speed and perfect for a family.
No problems, Kia's have a great life. We keep up on maintenance and our Kia works great. We have had no issues at all, no recalls. Great speed, great performance. We are going to purchase another Kia in month or 2. We love Kia, price and performance are excellent.
Rebecca S

Kia Rio is our family car!
This car rides smoothly! It has easy shifting, comfortable for a passenger... The only real complaints I have are regarding the back seat. It's small, and difficult to fit a car seat into.

2013 Kia Rio - small reliable car for a young city dweller.
It is not the most stable car, it can shake when it gets up to high speeds. It does get good gas mileage! Being a small car, it is gets usually about 30 mpg. It fits everything I need in it, as a young 24 year old who lives in the city. I love the hatchback as it seems like I can fit more in it, there’s not as much empty space.
Jodi G
on January 20, 2021
Great Reliable Family Car
I've had my vehicle now for 6 years, and it's held up pretty well. It has a slight tapping noise when idling or hitting than has that started around year 2. Other than that it is a very reliable car. If there is one thing that I could change about it, is that it would have a little bit more space inside of it. The trunk is huge, which helps a lot for those large grocery trips. All in all it has been a great car for my family.
ryan K
on January 20, 2021
ASK FOR A SPARE, it doesn't come with one. Also do a test run for more than five minutes, especially up a hill.
The car gets okay gas mileage, and has excellent turning. However the car has little leg room for taller people. It has very low acceleration, growling trying to even go up a hill. Also the brakes wear down far too quickly.
charles R

2013 Kia Rio.4 door sedan with sirius XM radio and CD player.
Bought my car used from Kia,low miles for me and very good shape and condition. Low payment as well. I only drive about 60 miles a day so this car will last me a long time as long as I maintain it and keep it washed as I live in NY with very brutal winters. Never had any major problems other than replacing the front brakes after I had it a year. Completely reliable and handles well in snow..I recommend Kia to anyone looking for a great smaller car with great gas mileage.
Melanie I
on January 10, 2021
Kia rio . Fabulous little car with excellent gas mileage!! Meets all my needs!!
I have had no problems with this vehicle! It is gas mileage averages 25-27 mpg. Air conditioning is fabulous. I have the basic model. It is audio system has Sirius, CD player, and am/FM stations. Speakers are more than adequate and I like my music loud! My only complaint is the front passenger seat is installed and unable to be adjusted at a very low level.
Karissa B
on January 9, 2021
It might look small on the outside, but it really is spacious on the inside.
We love how small it is, yet has great storage. It gets fairly good gas mileage, but we definitely wish it got a little better.
Robbyn S
on January 6, 2021
Perfect car for new driver.
Very reliable, have never had to put any repairs into it aside from normal maintenance. This is my first car I have personally owned and I recommend Kia to anyone. Only complaint is the road noise is very easy to hear and can get pretty loud. Other than that, is has been perfect.
Ann N
on January 2, 2021
I love my Kia! I will only buy Kias now.
I love my Kia. Its lasted over 100,000 miles. I get good mileage. I love the way it drives and looks. Because I have so many miles I did need to do some upkeep maintenance. But that's expected with that many miles. But it wasn't major issues. Overall I loved it so much I bought another one.
Sam W
on December 31, 2020
Decent mileage but brakes shouldn't need to be replaced after only 30,000 miles.
It lacks acceleration, especially when the air conditioning is on. The brakes on my Rio also needed to be completely replaced after only 30;000 miles. The trunk should also be designed to fit more. There is a large, protruding section that makes it difficult to place items in there. The car gets decent gas mileage and it is small enough to park in the city.
Ora T
on December 27, 2020
It has good gas mileage and does not take much to fill up tank.
It is somewhat small, not a lot of room in the backseat for passengers. But it is a gas saver which is great because we like to travel.
astaria J
on December 25, 2020
Overall it is a good, reliable car.
The paint is peeling. I have had acceleration issues and had to get the knock sensor replaced. I love the backup camera. There is not much back seat room. It has a large trunk space. It is not a very smooth ride. It is very gas efficient. Overall a good car, runs well after 7 years and over 100,000 miles.

Kia well built car with great gas mileage
My Kia Rio has 95,000 miles on it it's a 2013 and has been wrecked badly 2 times Both times it was put back together and was like a new one. I love the gas mileage but would really like a larger vehicle not so close to the ground for a better ride. I would like more room too. I plan on buying a Kia Sorento within the next 2 years to give me the ride and room I want
Kristen A
on December 20, 2020
The Kia Rio is a quality vehicle.
This car is extremely comfortable and for being smaller, it has a lot of room and trunk space! It has auxiliary plug in and satellite radio and a great stereo system. This car does amazing on fuel mileage and even has an option for ecoboost. It's a great car to own and not on the expensive side either!
Mackenzie S
on December 16, 2020
Just a general idea of my Kia experience.
When I first went to purchase a vehicle, I didn't have credit. I was only approved for the very basic Kia Rio with white paint. No exceptions. It does not have Bluetooth capabilities or cruise control. I have come to love it. The gas mileage is great and I paid of my lean early.
Madeline S

The front of the Kia looks like the helmet of a stormtrooper.
The fan makes noise when running the ac and the brakes make a grinding sound even after a new service, possibly too sensitive to water too.
David W
on December 15, 2020
I drive a standard and not an automatic.
Vehicle performs pretty well. Haven't had a lot of major issues with it. I wish that it was more electronic but unfortunately has crank windows, no Bluetooth, etc. The vehicle is decently comfortable, but can hurt after driving for a little while..
Natalie M
on December 14, 2020
Stylish, compact car that can hold its own.
The car is small yet roomy and has a nice handle on it. The only thing I do not like is the instability when I am going over bumps. It is small enough to squeeze through tight spaces. I also wish the passenger seat had a lever to raise the height of it.

It's fuel efficient. I can get by on one tank of gas for a week.
My Kia Rio is a reliable, efficient vehicle. We've taken long road trips, including a 14 hour drive to New Orleans, and had no problems with comfort during the trip. I've had the car for six years and it's been great.
Cody S

The Kia Rio. Do not do it. It is a grandma car.
It is good on gas. Not very safe. Feels like driving around recycled plastic. I have had lots of tire issues. Heavy carbon build up. Rattles when you are driving. Not lot of space for stuff. Make sure to buy seat covers. Windshield wipers weren't so great.
Christina b

The wonderful gas mileage.
I have a Kia Rio. I love that gas mileage of my car. I fill it up with gas for ~ $17.00.
Mario C
on December 1, 2020
Overall good, slight solvable issues.
It last very well on gas, so filling the car up tends to be cheap but the largest problem is that recently it has been burning oil quickly, so I have had to fill the car up with oil more frequently than would be normal. The car is comfortable though, and is small enough but still have room so you do not feel trapped.
Leah H
on November 29, 2020
Great, reliable vehicle. Would recommend.
Car is great on gas mileage, and runs smoothly. Safe, reliable vehicle, and fairly easy to work on and maintain. Love the backup camera, and sync option. Really, my only issue is that the sync is not compatible with my phone for voice to text, or quick text; however, that issue is resolved with a phone call.
Donna M

Great small car with excellent mileage.
I love this car. It gets fabulous gas mileage and has not given me any problems. Also, its size is great for a person who lives where we have to park on the street and sometimes the spaces are not very big. Even so, my tall friends have praised the amount of room they have in my back seat.
Sarah S
on November 27, 2020
Great gas mileage especially for long trips.
Vehicle is very comfortable. Gas mileage is very good. Eco option helps a lot especially with long trips or traveling. When traveling its has a lot of leg space and does not take away from the trip or make it uncomfortable. Car is reliable and has no regular issues that occur. I have never had any big issues with the engine or a main part of function.

Most reliable Kia riot 2013.
I have had my Kia riot for 4 years now and have had zero problems with it. I have driven it to different states about 6 times and it is always been very reliable. It is also the perfect size for me, being that I have no kids. Not too small, not too big. My favorite car by far!
Melissa N
on November 18, 2020
My Rio has been a low maintenance economical car but not that sporty.
It is small but good for my short frame. It has a lot of blind spots due to side columns and small windshield. It is zippy and handles relatively well but I do not trust the traction control in bad weather. It has not had many mechanical issue which is low cost and only takes $20 to fill the tank. Fits 4 adults and back seats fold down for cargo. It didn't come with a spare tire which was disappointing. Does not have great headlight so night visibility can be challenging. Radio is sufficient and Bluetooth pairs easily. I have never been in a collision so I cannot attest to safety although is has 6 airbags.
Kim T
on November 14, 2020
It gets great gas mileage.
I like my Kia Rio because it has great gas mileage. A main reason we purchased this car over other small sedans is because of it's roomy trunk. My daughter's wheelchair fits in the back. That is very important.
Lindsay S
on November 14, 2020
The best first car a girl could have. Reliable, cheap monthly payments.
My little Kia Rio is everything I could have asked for in a first car. It has been completely reliable and I have only had to take it in for yearly fix-ups. The gas mileage is great and I only have to fill up once a week, to once every other week. I feel comfortable driving it in all weather, including the rough snow storms I have lived through in the Midwest. It does ding very easily, but for a first car I am more than satisfied.
Sharra C
on November 10, 2020
Great car, annoying tires.
Overall my car has been very reliable and has had few issues. The biggest inconvenience is that it did not come with a spare tire, and the tires are a special size- I have had the most issues with my tires needing to be replaced and I always have to special order them because no one carries them. My sensors all went bad in the tires so I also never know when I am actually having an issue before it becomes a major problem.
Dee O
on November 8, 2020
The best small car around.
I wish it was bigger and more up to date with technology. I have the base model. I love the gas mileage. Only take $15 to fill up. It gets me from point a to point b. I do not have any real issues with it. It's very reliable. It's an inexpensive maintenance.

Super easy to drive and good all year around vehicle.
I love this car. My car is used. It has been in two crashes on the right rear side. I have an issue with the evap system. It is very roomy for how small of a car it is. It is easy to dive. Loose steering. Also it is really easy to keep maintained. I love it.
Tatiana S

Comfortable, very good car and affordable!
I got my 2013 Kia Rio in 2013, brand new car. It is a very good sub compact car, good amount of head and legroom. It has Bluetooth and voice recognition is great. It is very comfortable car and easy to drive. I use my car for work and school, no problems at all so far and I love my car, very satisfied.
Victoria D

Very reliable and reasonable '13 Kia Rio.
I haven't had any problems mechanically whatsoever since I have gotten my 2013 Kia Rio. I love the way it drives as it is pretty smooth for a little car. Very good on gas also. The car sits pretty low which is one thing I do not like a lot but it is a small car so it is very much expected. It is definitely a smaller car but surprisingly there's more space than I expected, especially in the backseat. I even fit 3 car seats in there one day (it was pretty tight though) but still fit!! The interior along with stereo system is also very nice for a 2013. I love my Kia Rio. It is a very great and reliable car.
Ki W
on October 31, 2020
Decent for the price, but others are better.
The bar for the front window is in a weird place, making it very hard to see. I like that you can set 10 different radio stations as your favorites. It has decent gas mileage. It can be hard to accelerate, especially on the eco setting. It is not a great car, but it is decent.
Nicky S
on October 29, 2020
The Kia Rio is a solid choice if you want a small, cheap, and reliable car.
The car is very reliable, and I have had no problems with it, even though it is second hand. The gas mileage is very good, I get about 200 miles on the 7 gallon tank, which I fill it up with around 30 dollars. It does feel a bit flimsy driving it, but that is because it is tiny and light, which is good for getting into smaller spaces.
Ashley M
on October 29, 2020
2013 Kia Rio car review; is it great for first time drivers or a fluke?
I absolutely enjoy this car since it was my first car. It is nice and small and just what you need when you first start driving. Fast forward, three to four years later I have noticed some issues with it like the seats. The seats will stain with one drop of water on them; it is crazy. Also, the engine is too small because it is hard to get the car to go once you first get going on the road. It also sits too low for me and my passengers.
Miranda L
on October 28, 2020
Small, silver, four-door sedan style car with great gas mileage.
I haven't had any major mechanical issues with my vehicle since purchasing it. The only parts. I have replaced are the tires. The car itself is pretty spacious for its compact size and has most features except Cruise control. It gets about 24-26 miles per gallon in city and 20-24 on the highway.
Debra G

Pros and cons of a little Kia rio.
I have a 2013 silver Kia rio. I love this car, it is very suitable for people who are always on the go. The car is very small which makes it easier to park, and in my opinion easier to drive. There is 5 seats in the car, two in the front and three in the back. The back three seats fold down to expand the trunk size. The only problem with this car is trunk size. It is unable to carry large luggage, or anything large for that matter. I enjoy driving this car because it is small like me. At a whopping 5 feet, I can get into and out of this car with ease. It is a very reliable car, I have never had major problems with it. I have had this car for about three and a half years, and the worst problem I have had was having to recharge the air conditioning. Overall, people should by this car or a newer year of this car.
Rachel C

Kia Rio going strong at 100k miles.
Overall I love my Kia Rio hatchback. I did have some mechanical issues early on, but fortunately had purchased an extended warranty which covered these issues. The problems included the clockspring and the crankshaft sensor. Both failed prior to 60,000 miles. My car is now just shy of 100,000 miles and going strong. It drives well, gets excellent highway mpg, and the interior has held up well in the 3 years since I purchased the car.
Christine M

2013 Kia Rio still runs great.
My Kia Rio is an excellent vehicle. It has plenty of room in the back for both car seats. Roomy trunk space as well. It is a very reliable vehicle. Other than regular maintenance and a timing belt change, I have not had to do anything else to the vehicle. Runs great!

Great small car, very reliable and safe. It gets great gas mileage too.
It is a very reliable car. It has a small gas tank but great gas mileage. It is a very good car and lasts a long time. It is a great little car. It drives great. My brakes are a little touchy but that might just be mine. Then adjustable seat is perfect because I am short and I am able to lift the driver's seat so I can see.
John H

Good car good quality- good for a lower cost car.
Quality and safety- quite driving - good handling, super comfort, easy to maintain-- knowing Kia means safety for you and your family. Roomy for people stuck in the back, trunk plenty of room for all luggage for long trips. This has made a trip to ca up mountains and to the beach in Florida.

I get regular routine check ups regarding oil and smog. Checking mileage every 1,000 or so and have no problems with the car. Only issue is that it resembles a Prius but performance wise it has lasted me this long and I see it lasting me a few more years.

My 2013 Kia Rio is a great car.
My car has been a good one. I drive a lot & it is very dependable & excellent on gas. I have not had to spend a fortune on repairs. One complaint is that the passenger front seat is super uncomfortable. Another complaint is that the seats are extremely hard to clean.

In.O’clock sensory problems.
When the air conditioning is on the knock sensor makes our check engine light come on. It gets really annoying in the summertime when I cannot tell if the engine is acting up or if it is just the knock sensor. Most of the time I have to go to an autozone and get them to check the code. All of it is just annoying.

My little red Kia Rio a great car.
I love my Kia riot, its dependable, great on gas and has never let me down. My dogs love the view from the back when I put the seats down. I live in Florida and have driven my Kia to Maryland several times. It's the perfect car if you want to save on gas and still feel safe and comfortable. '.

2013 Kia Rio. 5 year 60,000 mile warranty.
This car is very economical. It gets good gas mileage on the highway and in town. It is sporty looking too. Kia offered a better warranty than most car dealers so that was one of the selling points. The only thing I do not like about this car is that it sits kind of low and sometimes is hard to get out of. I have a small pillow on the seat so I sit a little higher and I like that. It does have a back up screen in the car so you can see if anyone is behind you when you back out of a parking space so that is a plus. So far it has been a very reliable car and is almost 6 years old.

Overview on my personal experiences with the vehicle.
The car runs pretty great. It gets me from point a to point b. But the seats are an issue for me; if even a drop of water spills on them, it stains. The car sits way to low and it takes it a minute for the engine to even get up to speed. I do enjoy it though because it is my first car and I also can get seat covers but have yet to do that because of financial reasons.

Zippy. Runs great with no issues. Great in the snow and for small family.
I have had my car since 2013 brand new. Never had any issues with it. It is comfortable and does great in the snow. I have the basic model so I wish it had automatic locks and windows. The stereo system is great. Very zippy and can get up and go! Perfect car for a small family.

I'd definitely purchase another Kia.
It's great on gas mileage and came with an extended warranty. I have had no major repairs done only a few minor repairs. It's comfortable and roomy for a smaller hatchback. It's a lot of fun to drive and has decent pick up for a smaller car. I've had great experiences at my local Kia dealership. I'd definitely purchase another Kia.

The design is beautiful and fits me.
The check engine light keeps coming on even though there’s nothing wrong with the engine. And the tires are to small for the actual car it is hard to go over speed bumps and it not scratch up my car. Another issue would be the inside of the car the leather seats easily get stains on it and I hate it because it is hard to remove the stain if not impossible.

The Kia Rio is a great little car!
The Kia Rio is a great little car. I have only had one major issue with it in 7 years. It does sometimes refuse to start. I could turn the key, but nothing happened. The mechanics could not replicate the issue, and I considered getting a new car. Another customer at the shop told me to turn the key on, downshift through all the gears, then up shift back through them all, then turn the car off and on again. It worked and I have had no other big issues. Even with this weird issue, I still love my Rio.

Compact efficient and road trip ready.
I have never had a problem with my vehicle. The only thing is that it has very basic features. I do not have power windows or power locks at all. I do love how compact and easy it is to drive. The back trunk has a lot of space to go on road trips with,

Back-up camera is wonderful for parking and backing around cars.
I love my car. Reliable and anything that comes up they honor their warranty no problem. The dealership I purchased my Kia from are very friendly and helpful. When you drive your car into the shop they meet you right away and ask what your there for.

It runs great just too small for us. Wish it was automatic and not standard.
It is just too small for us. I need more room for my kids and niece! And something to travel in. We go out of town a lot. It is been a good car so far just need more room. I wish it was automatic instead of standard. I also wish it had Bluetooth and cruise control.

It gets good gas mileage!!
It gets good gas mileage and it is cute. It has lasted me a long time without breaking down. (I drive more often than the average person) I do wish it held more gallons of gas in the tank though.

Good for parking in tight places.
Like that it gets me where I need to go, dislike that the air from the left tire keeps getting flat.

So far I have had it 5 years with minimal problems outside of the standard maintenance
The car get great gas mileage and has the option for satellite radio. My biggest complaint is that it does not have cruise control.

It gets me where I want to go. And has not quit.
The car is too low and the passenger's seat is too low. It needs to be able to pump up like the driver's seat. I had cruise control put in. Which the salesman told us it had. It does not have power windows. There is a lot of legroom in the back seat. It is a smooth ride.

Good gas mileage, roomy interior, inexpensive!
I like the size (it's pretty compact, but can comfortably hold four adults.) I like that parts are relatively inexpensive. It gets good gas mileage, which helps because I commute pretty far.
