2006 Kia Rio consumer reviews

2006 Kia Rio lx manual everything I was gifted this car from my grandpa when he passed away first car I learned manual in and I will always recommend this car it has been the best and when I say he kept good car of it he did it has 153k miles btw still on the road in 2025 and I may have only had to do spark and plugs and that’s it best car I’ve owned and I have a 2004 Toyota Tacoma as well and that has gave me more problems and money pit then a 2006 Kia which is crazy in my opinion but you know what I love this car soon to be lowered and tinted and exhaust put on to make is sound good. BEST CAR IVE OWED

It’s a nice little car, if you have the money to replace everything in the car after 150,000km. Timing belt, stabilizer links, ac belt, serpentine belt, clutch, radio, all replaced within a month of owning. A/C doesn’t work and can not afford 800$ to replace it. If you put money into it, it’ll serve your purpose. It’s cheap on gas, but parts are expensive.

My 06 rio was neglected by prior owners. I put some money into it to get it up to snuff. It is basic, no frills transportation. I've had it for four months with no issues. Surprisingly comfortable for an econobox. Seems well made for the price point. I put on some decent all season tires and it handles well in the snow.

I love this car and I've had a few as well as way more expensive cars. I liked the shape and needed a small economic car to get me to work and back daily. It drives very smoothly and the 1.6 ltr engine has plenty of grunt

This car has never let me down always been very reliable unbelievably great gas mileage this car is solid as a rock AC works very good also the heat works very well to

The used 2006 Kia Rio I purchased on cars.com was an amazing steal. It was 1500 and despite a few minor, aesthetic flaws on the exterior, the car drives like a dream and is in excellent condition.

This was a car well taken care of and a pleasure to purchase. The price was right and the condition of the vehicle exceptional. I would highly recommend coming to Chapman!

Recently traded in my kia rio for a kia sorrento, i luv my sorrento, but i miss my kia so much,best car i have ever owned very reliable, even did great in the snow, i wish i would have keot my rio.

My 2006 Kia Rio lx came into my life when I had gotten into a really bad accident & was looking for a new car. I fell in love with the style of it and the white color with black accents it has. I drive 40 miles back and forth between work (stay with my parents) and home a few times a week and I've never had a complaint, other than I live in Washington state and it rains a lot here and I'm terrified to drive in rain but this car is firm to the ground and is a little speed demon. She also is great with driving in snow! I always get told that I look super cute (very important) driving it. It is not practical when I do babysit and have to cram 3 booster seats in the back, but other than that it is a very cute, reliable car!
