Great value.

I was looking for an affordable reliable new vehicle, and I found it in the 2017 Kia Rio. I was looking for something affordable, with a great warranty. I was very impressed with how well it was built. It was comfortable, had enough power, and had a really good ride for the type of car. I test drove similar vehicles, and was disappointed, but coming from driving luxury vehicles. I was really impressed with the Rio. It?s reliable, affordable, and pretty comfortable. Have a lot of headroom, enough power, great gas mileage, and the warranty was about the best thing in the market. You do get quite a bit for your money. For a reliable affordable commuter car I would definitely recommend it. I have a lease on a brand new Audi, but I have really come to enjoy driving this car.

Better than my old model

I owned a 2014 Kia Rio and it was super reliable. It got totalled out in an accident. So I bought a 2017 Kia Rio and the performance is a lot better than the 2014 model! I love the feel of the car and how well it drives!

Best Car Dealer in DFW

Hands down best car buying experience I've ever had. I didn't want to spend all day at a dealership and my salesman, Carlos Sanchez, made sure I didn't. I'll definitely be a repeat customer.

Great First Car

As a young first time car buyer, I am so happy I went with the Kia Rio. I feel very safe driving my car. It drives smoothly, has a quiet engine, and is very easy to operate. Although the base model is stark, I am happy that I upgraded to power windows/locks and bluetooth. It's definitely worth the extra money.

Best car I've owned

I just recently purchased a 2017 Kia Rio and I am absolutely in love. It is the first car I purchased on my own after driving family cars in the past. I definitely believe it is an awesome car for young, first time buyers. It has great gas mileage, is very comfortable, and looks very nice considering the price tag.
