It is a very comfortable vehicle and gets fairly good fuel economy. The only problem we have had is an axle that had to be replaced which I fell should not have happened since it is only two years old. It was under warranty so there was no out of pocket expense but I feel the vehicle is too new to have this type of problem.

The vehicle is small and cozy.
My vehicle has not had any problems as yet since I only bought it one year ago. It rides really smoothly, it is always reliable. The seats are really comfy. Overall the vehicle is really cozy and small. I like that it can fit into any parking space when I need it to.

Dark blue Kia Rio. Very smooth handling.
The car is great. The ac works amazing and can heat up or cool down the car in an instant. Also the driver assistant features are amazing. I immediately know if a car is too close to mine. And the rear view camera is a really big help. I never feel alone in this vehicle. It is like I have my own safety guide with me. It is also great on gas.

Sports mode is a fun thing to do once in a while.
It is very comfortable. Sports mode makes driving really nice especially on short drives. I love the different options available and the easy access to different things. The audio is very nice in the car with plenty of options to improve experience. Great gas mileage as well.

Affordable sporty car great for road trips.
I have the second to the cheapest make of Kia Rio 5 door and it does not feel cheap at all. It has USB charging ports and a regular outlet in the back for ease of road trips no need to invest in a car specific charger. It feels very sport especially when in sports mode without high cost. It makes great turns, parking is a breeze as it is small and quickly maneuverable into small spaces. It is a smaller 5 door but I have fit so many items in the back I have moved 3 times using it with the back seats down I love the storage without having a big boxy SUV.

The technology is all there at a low price. Its affordable, and you get big bang for the buck.
I love how good it is on gas. The technology is a great feature. Its design looks great, and I love driving it.

I love my Kia Rio. Very stylish and dependable.
Great gas mileage. Very dependable and reliable vehicle. Car is very comfortable. Easy to maintain and do not have to change oil until 4000 miles. I would definitely recommend this style of vehicle to anyone who is in the market to purchase a new vehicle. You will be very satisfied with your purchase.
Bred G
on March 18, 2021
Over great for the price.
Overall it is a great car, comfortable to drive, great gas mileage. There are a few lacking features such as no back up camera, fog lights or apple carplay to make it safer to use your phone navigation features. I did get a 200,000 mile 20 year powertrain warranty.

Looks the best washed and has the best chrome look design
It looks very great inside and out. Safe for kids and has a lot of space and I would definitely recommend it to any who wants to buy I love how I can plug it my radio and it works and I can listen music and it rides very smooth and puts the kids right to sleep.

Wish it were bigger. Drives really well.
Small. But zippy. Front seat is roomy, backseat not so much. Lacks cup holders. Drives like a regular sized car. Great gas mileage. Wish it had apple carplay instead of the native system it currently employs. The car is my girlfriends but we drive it together.

This Rio is the biggest car you can get in a small car!
This is one of the best cars I have owned. It has all of the features that I wanted: SiriusXM radio, power door locks, great mileage, and wow, what a good looking car it is! Through the Rio is considered a small car, it definitely has a big car feel when driving.
Cynthia S
on March 5, 2021
If you want more miles for your money invest in a Kia Rio and save.
I have not had any major problems with my Kia Rio. I love it. I can put 20 dollars worth of gas and ride over a week. My Kia isn't loaded with anything it came with a radio no CD player and it has roll down windows which is fine for me I have had problems with automatic windows in the pass. I love my Kia the cost was really the best sell for me I paid less than 10000$ with only 13000 miles.
Ashley L

2018 Kia rio 4 door stick shift.
So far no problems at all. It gets awesome gas mileage, and drives like a dream. A 5 hour road trip felt more like 15 minutes! And you can't go wrong with the warranty, it's bumper to bumper and 100, 000 miles. What can I say I love Kia and would purchase another one in the future.
Elizabeth B
on February 17, 2021
It is a hand free car with power.
The cast runs amazing. Great power, has good gripping to the road, smooth ride. Sports package included. Sirius radio, Bluetooth compatible, USB port, plus additional cigarette lighter outlet. Steering wheel is capable of turning radio up, answers the phone, cruise control, and more.
Tammy D
on February 6, 2021
Cheap basic car if you cannot do better.
It is really small inside, seats are hard, my has roll up windows and no key fob was offered, no cruise control or CD player. Could really use Bluetooth for your phone. Also need a backup camera. It has several blinds spots. I feel like could be a cheap disposable.
Kayla D
on February 3, 2021
Very dependable seldom breaks down.
It's a very nice car, I like it a lot. I have no complaints on the car. It fits my family very nicely, and has a nice sound system with pretty good bass.
Kara R

Loving my Kia Rio - my first brand new car.
I bought my Rio after my previous Kia died. So far it has been great. I have not had any issues. It gets great gas mileage, and I love the 'fancy' feature where it tells you how many miles you have left before needing gas again. It is also my first car with the backup camera, and I love that feature as well.
Lawanda L
on January 20, 2021
I like all the different features it has to offer.
Its a mid size car its roomy good on gas it rides good a great color it's easy to drive it a very reliable car it has a tone of features that goes with this model I havent experience any problems it with car I bought some new tires Michelin it works very well it's very comfortable while driving.

Kia Rio s: small size, big functionality.
The 2018 Kia Rio s gets great gas mileage (this week so far I have averaged 42 miles per gallon, with a mix of highway and city driving), has solid performance, and enough room for taller drivers - I am six feet, three inches tall and have enough leg room in the driver seat. The small size makes the vehicle easy to park, but the hatchback and four doors keep the small size from limiting comfort or functionality. The back seats can be very cramped when three adults attempt to sit in the back, however there is sufficient room for two adults or three children. I have owned the car for just over a year now and have no major complaints.
Alexandria R
on January 14, 2021
The Kia Rio hatchback is a great car for singles or a small family.
It is a very small car, but it has great gas mileage. It is very dependable and does very well on long road trips. It can fit way more than you would expect. I have put 35000+ miles on it already and have not had any issues with it. Some trips were 12-14 hours long and it did great. Ac and heat work like a charm. The stereo system is a little lacking, the music comes out sounding rather flat, but it has Bluetooth and a back-up camera that make up for that minor setback.
Holly A
on January 12, 2021
This car is great on gas.
This car is super reliable in gas and the brakes are extremely well put together. It is a great car for the rain and definitely for an inexpensive car or first car. The ac functions strongly as well as the heat and the car also has a beautiful sport mode for when driving in the highway.
Wendy S
on January 8, 2021
The Kia Rio is the perfect car for driving in traffic and is very comfortable.
The car is the right size for me. It has Sirius XM which I definitely enjoy. It is rides very smoothly. It has great mileage especially when driving long distances and even good mileage in city traffic. Another feature I really like and need is the ability to raise the driver's seat since I am fairly short.
Ryan S

Awesome car for an affordable price
This car is the best. Great price and great overall quality. You really get what you pay for with this car. Would recommend!
Ashley B
on December 29, 2020
No very up to date for it to be a newer vehicle. No luxury feature base model.
Nothing fancy. Kia Rio base model. Crank windows no luxury features. Drives good rides good. Slap shift sport mode. Not the most comfortable car. 2018 car should have more luxury features.5 seater. Drives better in slap shift. If you want a luxury car I wouldn't suggest this make or model.
Kellz D

Kia Rio: you cannot go wrong.
It is very efficient. It takes me where I need to go. It has great mileage, and the comfort and features are a plus as well. The previous cars that I had were very poor, and they were up-to-date vehicles. I love my car and plan on keeping it for a very long time.
Emily K

Safety features on Kia Rio s.
I bought this car two years ago and have not yet had any problems with it. Running diagnostics prevents me from worrying about any potential issues. Although I have never used the automatic braking, having it enabled puts me at ease by knowing I will never run into something due to not paying attention.
Donna L
on December 12, 2020
It's a great car and has a very reasonable price and a terrific warranty.
It is a great vehicle, we just got back from a vacation and it ran great and there was plenty of room and was very comfortable.
Darcy H
on December 9, 2020
Great reliable car, definitely would recommend to a new car buyer.
I've had it 2 years and it's been a good car so far, I've run into some issues with nothing too major. Great gas mileage. Keeps my kids secure and safe. I've had the engine replaced and she probably needs new tire rods from constantly driving up and down a mountain for work.
Kelly J
on November 25, 2020
One of the best compact cars on the market.
The Kia Rio has amazing storage for the size of car and it has excellent gas mileage. So far there have only been a couple of minor repairs involving the trunk latch. It is the most comfortable compact car I have ever driven with bucket seats and easy adjustability.
Callie D
on November 23, 2020
My car has really good gas mileage and easy to drive.
One thing I do not like is that it is kind of loud. I also think the breaking is pretty sensitive. It is a great car for my first new car. It has all the tech I need.
Anna P
on November 14, 2020
Great value car, reliable, dependable, convenient.
The gas mileage is incredible, the visibility when driving is amazing. It is affordable, with good value. It is compact and can fit easily anywhere. I have had no maintenance issues whatsoever in the year I have owned it. One drawback is that the cloth seats can be very difficult to clean.
Shelley V
on November 11, 2020
My car has the nicest interior, black cloth seats and all black dashboard.
My car is the smoothest car I have ever driven. It is quiet, and does not have a lot of issues. The only complaint I have is my tire pressure constantly going down but that is an easy fix. Otherwise it is a nice car, complete with a touchscreen radio, Bluetooth and auxiliary port.
Steven H
on November 4, 2020
There's a computer chip in the car keys.
The car performs like a dream, it's reliable for the amount of money you pay for it, the only problems I have is it not meant to be driven long distance comfortably, I like the rear view backup feature so I know what's behind me, cruise control is a must where I live as I try to stay under the speed limit, Kia does not want you to buy tires from anywhere but them so that is something you need to consider if going to purchase from them.
Paris C
on November 2, 2020
Kia Rio 2018 review: great overall.
My Kia Rio is great for its price. Safe, great fuel mileage, Bluetooth, large trunk with spare tire. Overall it is a super reliable car. I have had it for a few years and I even got it used, but it is in great shape. I haven't had any problems with it yet and I put a ton of miles on it. My favorite thing is its mileage because of how much driving I do, it is super affordable when it comes to filling the tank. One of the things I do not like is the car gets loud when driving at higher speeds on the highway. It rattles and can be a little sensitive especially if it is super windy outside. It is strange but honestly it is such a small problem and is not as problematic as it might seem. The other small 'problem' in terms of performance, is that it has a small delay when trying to speed up so do not expect a quick transition when you punch on the gas. Overall I love my Kia Rio and suggest it as a first car or as an affordable option, especially if buying used.
carmen m
on October 30, 2020
It's white and the color helps with the Texas heat. It's spacious and perfect for a small family. It has been the most reliable car we have purchased. Kia has never let us down.
I really love our vehicle. However, in the state of Texas, I would suggest buying a truck. A lot of roads flood and our little car cannot always handle flooding. The car is comfortable and very reliable. Purchasing it was a quick and easy experience for my husband. This was our second car purchase with Kia.
Timothy J
on October 28, 2020
Reliable and fuel efficient.
My Kia Rio has been a reliable car from the day I purchased it. The drive is smooth, and it handles like a dream. I especially love how the stock model comes equipped with a Sirius XM radio. The fuel economy on this particular model has me blown away. On average I receive approximately four hundred miles on a full tank of gas and I find that to be quite amicable. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone in need of a reliable car on a budget. The only negative I would give it is that it is rough on the suspension and you should take it slow over the smallest of speed bumps.
Angela B
on October 28, 2020
The Kia Rio has excellent fuel efficiency and is a great, sporty car.
I love the size of it. It is compact yet big enough for my needs. I also love that it is sporty looking.
Kathy P
on October 8, 2020
Fun to drive and practical, plus the price was right!
I love my new Kia rio. I wanted a hatchback to make it easier to load items, but still wanted room for 4 people. The back seats are convertible to allow for larger items. The mileage is great and it appears to have come off the line with no problems at all.

Love my Rio 'the batmobile ' as my kids call it
Love my car, small but great mpg. Doesn't feel as small as it looks. Quick when it wants to be. Nice sounds system. Big trunk. Looks good. The body design is sleek. Ac works great. Love the sport mode. Mine is base model so it has no cruise or power locks or windows

Kia Rio and Kia services rating.
I love my Kia Rio! It gets amazing gas mileage and has been amazing for me since I am in college. Kia has super nice employees that are always very helpful when I get maintenance done with my car as well. Kia also provided me an amazing guarantee of 20 years or 200,000 miles.
Brittany H
on September 24, 2020
My favorite part about the Rio is it has amazing gas mileage and very reliable.
This is an amazing car, it is pretty compact but still spacious on the inside. There are no complaints on my end, gas mileage is awesome and a very nice looking car as well. I have had mine for about 4 months now and have not run into any problems. Fits up to 5 people comfortably.
Anna M
on September 14, 2020
I love this car! Very affordable and nice.
This car is very comfortable. I love the Bluetooth features that are available with the car. The trunk is very large so you can fit many things in it. The touch screen makes the car look nicer inside. The outside of the car is very sleek as well. The car is affordable and a very nice car for the price.
Charlene K

Fantastic vehicle for daily use and best for fuel economy.
Kia Rio is a fantastic car I must say. It is a very fuel efficient and comfortable vehicle. It is engine is very reliable and maintenance free. It is has all the latest feature like apple play, ac and good sound system. The main drawback is that it has very less luggage space.
Ana Monica C
on August 13, 2020
My Kia Rio is comforting and soothing.
There are no problems with my car except for the fact that there is no CD slot but that is the least of my worries. It runs smooth and fast and it is very comfortable. I feel great whenever I drive my car. It has a touch screen so it helps me by not physically using my phone for whenever I receive a call. I love it.
C Ross
on August 8, 2020
Love it!
I had the 2001 Rio and now own s 2018. Both hatchback, both standards. I live in Yukon, Canada and drive it everwhere. I’ve put on 31,000 km since Jan 2018, most long distance Alaska Highway miles. I get passed going up hills by the muscle cars, but who cares? I’ll catch them when they stop for gas. I use the best synthetic oil - that makes a difference
Freda P
on August 7, 2020
The benefits to owning Kia Rio.
I love my car its very reliable. I drive my car over 60 miles a day.It's very good on gas. I have driven it to surrounding states and have enough room. For all passengers to sit comfortable. I would suggest the car to small families. I also would recommend this car to new drivers as well. I love to teach the kids to drive.
Jorgia P

One proud Kia Rio owner right here
The car is wonderful! Affordable, great on gas, not a lot of bells and whistles (but that's okay by me). Handles nicely on various terrains. I use it to commute around the congested streets of NOVA/DC, where it does perfectly. Parking it is a breeze, too!
Jeffrey F
on July 27, 2020
Smooth ride, comfortable sitting, zero to 60 in less than 5 seconds.
I love this car because I have no problems with it or the need to have it serviced as a used car that I bought as a used car. Service contract is sufficient. Only issue I had was tires needed to be aired up plus, dash has warning signals if something is wrong. Nothing major has gone wrong since purchase.
Samuel M
on July 23, 2020
Everything I need all in one small package.
My Kia Rio has never shown any issues, problems, concerns so far. It starts in the dead of winter, as well in the scorching sun. The extras that I got are amazing. My favorite feature is the backup camera. I will never again purchase anything other than a Kia.
Magda C
on July 8, 2020
The Rio fits my small frame better than a bigger full size car.
4 door, automatic, fast & great on gas mileage. Just the right size for me and handles really well. I would not have bought it if I didn't love it.
Michael V
on July 4, 2020
Hands down one of the best purchases I've ever made.
Very reliable and extremely comfortable. In the beginning there was a few acceleration/deceleration issues and it felt like when it got to around 30 mph, the car would make an extremely hard jerking motion when speeding up or slowing down. The issues disappeared with time and I haven't had any issues since.
Kacey J
on June 29, 2020
A Kia is a great and affordable car!
My car is great on gas. It runs great! It is an attractive car. The only downside is that even though it is a 2018 it didn't come with a built in Bluetooth phone ability and I had to buy a Bluetooth phone speaker for my car to abide by the Georgia hands free law. Also it is not great as far as road noise and does not have cruise control.
Kenneth S
on April 10, 2020
My recently purchased Kia.
I bought the car last week, so I really just have user reviews to go by. Everything I read said that this was a great car, that performs very well. The interior is nice, but my wife and I have trouble understanding the dashboard sometimes. We still are not sure what our mileage started at.
Marty D
on April 3, 2020
It is a great everyday vehicle.
Haven't had any problems with the vehicle since I bought it. Great on gas and is really safe. Can be very spacious despite how it looks. Pretty good for long road trips. And can hold a lot more things than you would expect although the rear seats do not fold down.
Ariel P
on March 17, 2020
Amazing interiors, great gas mileage, amazing performance.
The car has had no issues since purchasing. Reliable and amazing on gas mileage. The stereo system is incredibly amazing and has a great base. The seats are very comfortable unlike most cars and despite the size the back seat is very spacious. The trunk is another great aspect in the fact that it is huge.
Kacey H
on March 10, 2020
Kia: affordable and reliable.
I have had 2 Kia's in my lifetime. I have never experienced any problems with either. They are reasonably priced, get great gas mileage, look great and drive great! All I have ever had to do is keep the oil changed. My next car will definitely be another Kia! It is a reliable, affordable quality car!
Alexandria M
on February 17, 2020
Great mpg and a smooth, reliable ride!
This vehicle drives very smoothly. It usually averages 40 mpg. Even though it is a smaller car, it is very roomy with a large trunk. It is a great vehicle for daily commute or road trips. The seats are very comfortable and the sport mode is fun. I would highly recommend this vehicle to others.
Fred B

Cruise control, Bluetooth system and subscription to Sirius radio.
It is a good car it gets the job done. Just a little small for me. Has good mileage, efficient on gas. Good for road trips.

Cozy Kia Rio for the win.
My car can move quickly. However, it may take a little bit to push it to its maximum movement. It is comfortable and reliable. There was more room in it than I expected. I like how easy it is to parallel park and get into tight spaces as I work somewhere there is very little parking.
Melody E

Outstanding Investment Car
This is a very reliable car! Has plenty of trunk space and still very spacious on the inside. It is a very quiet car, does not make a lot of noise. The seats are super comfortable and the climate control works amazing. It is all around an amazing car.

2018 Kia Rio handles well for a stroke victim.
I generally like driving the 2018 Rio. Having a stroke complicates this, but it works. The engine is quiet, (as it should be). The seats are comfortable, and you can put your long legs out, providing you do not have any rear passengers. We have had it since July 2018, and had no problems with it.

Simple Lexus lx 2018 review.
So far, my vehicle is extremely comfortable and easy to drive. There has not been much to repair my vehicle ever since I first bought my Lexus. I have been driving my Lexus vehicle mostly to commute to and from work and home. My vehicle is extremely reliable at a fair price.
Isabel M
on January 2, 2020
The Kia rio is a great, small car to drive short or long distances.
The Kia rio is a great small car for daily use. It is good on gas and I spend about $20 a week to fill it up, and I can drive a 2. 5 hour trip which will only use about half of the tank. The radio is touch screen and it has access for an AUX cord and USB device to charge your phone or any other devices. The only downside to the specific model I have is that the windows and side view mirrors are manual, and I must lock the car through the driver's side manually.
Kimberly M

Exploring everything the world has to offer with the Kia Rio.
The Kia Rio is a really good car for anybody who wants to have a good family car. It is dependable and reliable and gets very good gas mileage. The Rio has seats that fold down, a big trunk, and plenty of space. This car sometimes has issues with the Bluetooth connectivity but that is about it. There is a backup camera, air bags, and padded seats to keep you safe as well.

Compact. They should know about it's sport mode feature, and should know about gas mileage and Bluetooth capability
I love my car's size. I love that it's affordable but it still doesn't feel cheap. And I love it's Bluetooth features
angel M

The car gives you an option to drive manually or what feels like manual at least
It's really good on gas but it's super small. And the car is really lightweight so you feel all the bumps on the road and if it's windy the car feels like it's blowing all over. I don't recommend this car if you plan on having kids. With my son's car seat in the back, whoever ends up sitting in the passenger seat has to sit with their knees in the glove box.
Shirley D
on November 22, 2019
It belongs to me I keep it clean mean and lean even has a tow hitch.
I like the size and the fuel efficiency. . No complaints. I love the dashboard and all the information that is available at a quick glance. It is very quiet and the engine is very small, but it has lots of power..
John R

Save your wallet from the pumps with this dependable automobile.
There really aren't any negatives about my car make and model. It's the first new car I've ever bought. It is simply an amazing car, super good gas mileage and everything you'd want these days from a car. Having a hatchback instead of a regular trunk males things in my opinion more accessible and just all around convenient.
Alexander J

The Good and Bad of the Rio
Seats get a little uncomfortable and not many add ons to the car, pretty basic car. However, the car is very reliable. I haven't had one problem with it so far. I got my first oil change the other day and it runs like new. I would recommend this car if your on a budget.
Jessica S
on September 22, 2019
Overall great family car!
I love the way that my car drives and the gas bill helps as well! I haven't had any repair issues or maintenance problems out of the normal oil changes/tire rotations that are expected. I'drives well and is our family car that I trust will keep my kids and I safe in if there was ever an accident. The inside is beautiful and everything has worked properly and we haven't had any issues. Overall we would buy this car again and will continue to keep Kia's in mind for our next purchase!
Andrea G

She is a blue beauty with features that “wow” you.
I love the Kia Rio. Unfortunately it has very little ‘ pick-up.’ it would be an ideal vehicle if it were a six cylinder engine. The air conditioning is awesome and it is fully loaded. I do not like the defroster as my windows fog up often. There should be a defog feature.
Amy S

People should know about the Eco Boost button that can help you save money on gas.
I love the Eco Boost button that helps me get more MPG on the highway. I do not like that I don't have cruise control. I love how it handles.
Tamara L
on September 7, 2019
It is the ideal vehicle for gas and maneuvering around the city.
I have no problems. This car has great performance just little space. Steering wheel control features and eco gas option that helps you save on gas in traffic especially. This car is easy to maneuver. Trunk space is descent also. It's a great car for a college student or a single mom with one kid or no kids.

Kia Rio- safe, comfortable, affordable.
The Kia Rio is cute, comfortable, and simple car. It is a great first car to own. Great Mileage about 35-45 mpg on streets & highways. It is a small but spacious car with great trunk space. It has Bluetooth, aux, & USB connections. The front radio is not touchscreen. The only downfall I would say is the car is a little loud when on the highway, it is not as smooth and quiet at high-speeds as a more expensive cars would be.

2018 Kia Rio-- highly reliable.
I am a small human (5'2) so the subcompact size is ideal for me. I get incredible gas mileage in town and highway. I commute a lot so I put over 20k miles on it in the first year and it still runs like it is brand new. I have never used the sport feature since it impacts gas mileage. There is not much trunk space but that is not a deal breaker for me. There's more than enough room for my groceries!
BARBARA H

YOU GET MORE MILES FOR EACH GALLON OF GAS AND THIS CAR IS VERY EASY TO HANDLE

Fun commuter car for a good price.
I have owned this car for 6 months and 19000 miles. It's a really fantastic vehicle. One thing I have noticed is that the interior plastic gets scratched really easily. For such a small car it has tons of room and storage. Gas mileage is usually 43-50 MPG in WNC. The vehicle is difficult to self service though. There is no accessible power steering fluid reservoir. The steering is fun and precise and the brakes are good but not too sensitive. Being a lightweight car is has really good pickup and sport mode. I would give a 9/10

The Kia Rio is an affordable, practical and amazingly comfortable car.
The best thing about the Rio is the gas mileage. It is a great car for commuting to work. It also has quite a bit of interior room, more than you would expect for a small car. The bucket seats in the front are very comfortable. The fact that the seats fold down gives it plenty of storage space when needed.

The features I love about my Kia Rio, and the ones I am excited to try!
I have had my little Kia Rio for about 4 months now, and I have had no issues with it, I absolutely love the car, with its modern features of a backup camera to it's really easy acceleration. Although, I have yet to try Sport mode/ feature, but I am very excited for the road ahead of me with this car.

The Kia Rio is a great Road trip Car
My Kia Rio is a wonderful vehicle to drive. I consistently get 38 or more miles per gallon, which means less trips to the gas station. It has great acceleration and braking power, and I've had no major issues come up in the 6 months I've owned the vehicle. Perfect car for road trips, as it is roomy and has plenty of space for luggage in the trunk.

That it is good value for the car - much better than a Nissan. They need to know that Kia really is a good car.
I used to have a Nissan and love this Kia so much more. It has more power, the transmission gives me comfort, I have heat in the winter whereas the Nissan has some funky system not to deliver. This particular Kia does not have power anything I really dislike that.

Very dependable, no issues thus far.
No performance issues. It is my ex-husbands old car. The car itself is great, but he had gotten the most simple/generic model. This car was previously used for weekly travel from Springfield mo to St louis mo and back. With regular maintenance practices we have not experienced any major issues.

It helps prevent accidents
My car is amazing. I drives smoothly, it helps me stay away from accidents. It's my first car and it's the best starter car. This car is up to date with technology but isn't too over the top. The gas mileage is fantastic especially because I drive a lot.This car is simple yet it has enough to satisfy anyone. This car is all around wonderful for someone starting out.

The satellite radio is awesome.
The seats are uncomfortable would have got leather or something else. Overall I really like gas mileage. And the fact I have roadside assistance. And full warranty.

Great 4 door, gas saver car & fits up to 5 people comfortably.
I have had my Kia Rio going on a year now and I love my car. It is a great gas saver and big enough for a family of 5 comfortably. No regrets glad I got my Kia, I will definitely stay with this brand on my next vehicle as well. Just know you can never go wrong with Kia's they are very reliable.

Spacious for small vehicle.
Love the car for the most part. Only concern I have had is the very sensitive steering, and I have not yet found a phone holder that works and holds the phone close to eye level. Other than that, it is roomy for a small vehicle and performance is absolutely amazing. Trunk is spacious. Gas mileage is great for both highway and city driving.

Kia Rio 2018: driving a small car in Alaska.
I guess the only thing about this car that comes off as a disadvantage is because it's small, but other than that, it runs smoothly and I only spend like $40 every month for gas. There is also a lifetime warranty for free oil changes, so that's always good. I've had the car for about 3 years now, and other than the tire changes for the winter, it's pretty much perfect.

Solid overall for the price.
The 2018 Kia Rio has been a pretty decent first car. It has not had any problems so far and maintenance has been very standard. Nothing stands out as a problem with the design except for not having rear window wipers. I have driven it for 40000 miles and gone on long road trips and it has fared well.

Small, great gas mileage, reliable car with nice features.
I wish my radio had voice activation so I could tell it to call someone or to read a text to me. Overall my car has been great and I do not have any complaints. It is comfortable and I like the upholstery. I like that I can have Sirius radio. Seats are easily adjustable. The car is small and easy to park.

My awesome first car from Kia.
I have had no problems with my car. I have had it for 8 months and still love it. Comfort and reliability is awesome. I would definitely recommend this car as a starter car for a new college student, 16th birthday, any occasion. The one thing I like the most is the gas mileage. I get 40-43 all the time.
