2017 Kia Rio consumer reviews

I wouldn't drive any other car, have had a KIA for the pass 10 years, reliable, easy to drive and has given me good mileage.

My husband and I bought this car to replace our 2003 Ford Focus. We were looking for a smaller car with good gas mileage to get him to and from work each day. This is a really nice compact car. It fits our child's large car seat in the back seat and the car seat still needs to be rear facing (a must for us). We were also looking at Ford Fiestas but the back seats were much smaller and didn't fit our needs. The Kia Rio had decent reviews rated a 4/5 overall. That is how I would also describe this car. It is not a car with a ton of bells and whistles but it is updated, gets great gas mileage and was a great upgrade from the older focus that we traded in. The 2017 Kia Rio that we purchased also has never had any recalls on it yet, so that was also a nice bonus. The back seat seams to feel larger than the backseat of our older focus so that is also a plus. If you are looking for a car that can get you too and from easily, good gas mileage, affordable, and a compact style car, the Kia Rio is a really nice option and one that I would recommend.

I love the display panel, everything is well lit. All controls is not complicated. The seating is very comfortable, you can adjust the height of the seat. Love the Sirius radio that is available. Came with 3 months free. Yay!!!! It cost only 25 dollars to fill up and I burn midgrade.

This car is perfectly fine in every way I needed except for one minor fix that I would like to ask for future models, the car is just too low to the ground. I am no expert by any means, just use the car to get from point A to point B, and this car is perfect for me. Other than it being too low to the ground for my road situation in Oklahoma. I use it for main roads mostly, (even those can be rough at times) and I enjoy the freedom that the gas mileage gives me. I would recommend this to any first time or even competent understandering drivers who need a cheap reliable car for at least a few years. I had my first Kia for at least 8 years, and it was wrecked as some more elitist drivers would say "beyond repair," but it held up and it required minimum work and cost on my part at the time to keep it running. That'll do Kia, that'll do.

The manual crank windows are not bad if you are taller, I can reach every handle from the drivers seat. The 6spd trans is really good too! I can average 33mpg if I drive the speed limit.

Extremely comfortable and fun to drive. Pleased with average 35.5 mpg after my 3rd tank of gas. I do not have Cruise Controls so I'm glad the speedometer is large. Being able to adjust the seat height is great. Totally satisfied.

This was the biggest purchase I've ever made. I was a little apprehensive at first, but I couldn't be more thrilled with my decision. I absolutely love it.

I love this car and bought one after a rental in Florida. Small but not too small. Great on gas, peppy! Practical but fun. I love having a hatch. This is as good as it gets for sporty economy car.

The vehicle is great! Considering the price I paid, the car is top-notch. My only complains would be the lack of power locks and windows, but you can pay extra for that (although I think in this day and age it should be standard). That being said, for a commuter vehicle it is an excellent choice with great gas mileage and good cargo storage for a small car (helped a friend move last night). You can really pack it out. I'm very satisfied with the vehicle.

Really nice to drive, the stick shift was quicker than I though it would be. Nice leg room for all inside, nice to look at, warranty is awesome. My friend bought it on my suggestion and research.
