I’m very grateful for my car

I love the car! Just wish it was a bit bigger & that It had way more trunk space without me having to remove my baby from the backseat to put the seats down

Great car

This is a great car, except no arm rests. I do miss the arm rests, but other than that it is a great vehicle! Love the color and it is easy to drive. Also, great on gas mileage!

Solid little car.

I own a 2019 Rio sedan S model. A quality build and fun to drive. Kia put some thought into this budget friendly automobile. Try sport mode on the back roads.

Dont be shy

Don't be shy with the gas pedal - this baby will fly up mountain passes. The speed that they are able to squeeze out of 130 hp is amazing. Get the S.

The Best Basic Car

Considering how cheap this car is, it’s FANTASTIC. This is the first new car I’ve bought and I adore it. It’s actually pretty nimble and peppy for such a small engine. The gas mileage is the second-best I’ve ever gotten in a car (I used to have a Smart Car.). You definitely do hear the engine at higher RPMs, but I don’t mind at all. It’s obviously not a powerhouse, but it’s not meant to be. It’s very comfortable to drive and the interior styling is not cheap-looking in my opinion. I love it! I tell my family that I’m taking this car to the grave with me! Unless I eventually upgrade to an Optima...or a Stinger....

Love Rios so much that I have owned 3.

Just got it yesterday. Wanted it because I had owned 2 before and loved them. Wanted to upgrade to one with the latest technology. That back up camera is great. Feel safer with it. Gas mileage is very good on my long trips.
