Lowest cost of ownership possible

This car is super reliable, efficient, and inexpensive. It doesn't get much cheaper than this, but without sacrificing too much quality. Great commuter or first vehicle.

Most Reliable Car I've Ever Owned

This car met all my needs. I'm a tall person and it has plenty of leg room. If you take long trips, it's great on gas.

I hate this car

Drivability is horrible! It's squarely! You feel every bump! The front passenger seat sits so low all you can see is the dash! I never want a Kia ever again! The Kia dealership where I had to get my service absolutely sucked! I bought a Lexus! Good buy Kia! So glad to never deal with their horrible service centers ever again! Worst car I have ever had! Not worth the money I paid. Can't wait to get rid of it! Just junk!

Car is reliable and great to drive.

I love this vehicle so much I would recommend to a friend. I am always letting friends and family know that I love my Rio, it is a small compact and is easy to manuever, the radio is the best I have ever had in a car. The car is reliable and gets me through summer, winter and all seasons. The price is reasonable and may want to buy another one in the near future.

Great vehicle

This car is great on gas! Definitely a perfect fit for my little family. We only have the one vehicle and it is perfect for both of us commuting to work and great with our son for everyday driving.

Dependable car for your student driver!!

Excellent transportation for family or reliable first car for new driver. Just the right size for parking easily. 30+ miles per gallon for city driving.

Good economical car

I just bought this car yesterday so long term reliability is still to be determined. I was looking for a basic and simple car as a first car for my kids. I specifically got a manual transmission so they can learn to drive a stick. It?s beviming a lost skill. This car is simple but has what I was looking for in an economy car. I couldn?t beat the price for the year, mileage and cost of the initial purchase with many of the other popular compact cars. I am currently getting an average of 35 mpg after one day commuting. Pretty good so far. I am pleased so far but more to follow after I have driven it for a while.

Great Car for the price.

Just an all around nice car, great as a first car or a dependable daily driver car. Not as many bells and whistles as some other cars we have owned but not as many troubles as the other cars either!
