The (New Mini) Kia Rio5 2013

"Not bad for a commuter car! First of all, I would like to mention that I am a little over 6ft tall, and I fit comfortably in the car. I've been driving my Kia Rio5 for about a month. So Far, I've been averaging 37 mpg. Great value for the price. The car comes stocked with more amenities than I expected for a basic model. For example, the heated mirrors are a nice feature to have in the winters of the northeast. Also, the car handles well under extreme conditions. The only thing that I wish was standard on the basic model would be the Bluetooth feature. Overall, I am very pleased with the (new mini) Kia Rio5. I would recommend this car to anyone."

"I had a Toyota Yaris and it was time for a change. Whilst doing some research I came across the KIA RIO, loved it. I find my RIO smooth and comfortable. It is economic, stylish and sexy with heaps of features. However, It would've been nice if the front passenger seat could be raised too, like the driver's seat. Overall, good value for money!"

"What a gas pig, I drove it for 288 km it used 24.5 litres for about twice the listed fuel economy, approx.8.9l/100km. This was in"eco" mode. I'm glad it was only a rental, my pickup truck gets better mileage!"

"I am not a tech type person so I purchased the LX Rio - Did not want power windows or locks or blue tooth, however sirrius came with the car for three months. Don't think I will keep it as I like only a couple of stations and still stay with them so that is pointless. But if you love all the bells and whistles the EX or SX is for you. THe engine is the same, full of pep and the steering is very touchy - turns on the dime so be careful, and also check your speedometer cause you don't realize how fast you are going. 85 feels like 55 or 60. So be careful. Although it is a small car it is quiet and very comfortable."
