Manufacturer switched to inferior quality

This car is no where near the correct/satisfactory quality of the first Kia Rio that I owned from 2003 to 2017. The sound of the machine is suspect.

A really good little car

Well it got roughly about 30 miles to the gallon with 1.6 so this was the negative things about it 1st off it you still lose sparc boxes which is OK these things do happen but that happened 3 or 4 times next the engine had so little power and so little torque that occasionly while driving upstate with a full load of people and stuff I really want to put into reverse you couldn't run the air conditioning for instance with a load in it or even if the car was empty and the air conditioning was on you want to get out of a tight spot no good the dog use to hit his head trying to get in now the car and this result 4 door the car was overall good from the money but I would not really recommend this car it was also very very hard on tires and brakes
