Used Kia Rio for Sale in Hayward, CA

Small economic vehicle, sharp looking interior & exterior, easy access to controls, seats are not that comfortable for trips longer than an hour. After market lumbar support and seat cushion has helped some.

Ben was an awesome salesman for me this weekend. He was able to narrow down my search very quickly as far as options for the car I wanted as well as the options I had to finance that particular vehicle. He was very clear and conscise while explaining my options and was able to get me outta the door a lot faster than I expected. Bottom line, I got a great car, it runs perfectly, and im making pretty low payments per month. Im a happy camper.

I purchased the vehicle in September 2017. Everything was great till I had the oil changed. Then the anti-skid and power steering light comes on, that is when the power steering goes out. It can't be reset unless it is powered off and restarted. I reported it to Kia corporate and have a claim number. After research the Kia Sorento and Optima has the same problem back to 2012. Quick search pulled up this problem with no recall. I spoke with several mechanics, they all told me the same thing. "I won't be able to make a diagnosis till it does it". That would be difficult considering it is so sporadic when it does it. I will be driving down the road, doesn't matter if it's been raining or a nice day - the lights come on any given moment and your power steering is gone! I would get another vehicle, but I'm in an upside down contract paying $427 a month for approximately 3 more years!😓

My old car was my third minivan in 15 years. Now that my kids are older and leaving for college, I wanted something that could carry 6 or 7 passengers but was ... well... NOT a minivan. I did some research on late model used three-row SUVs, and found the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. (My favorite of my three vans was a 2005 Nissan Quest, so choosing Nissan was easy for me.) Before I started browsing for cars, I applied for credit through Carvana, and was approved. Next, I entered in all of the information about the van I was trading for the Pathfinder. (Beware -- the trade-in amount is only good for 7 days, and it can change wildly in that time!) I was pleased with the trade amount, and it was great that I could shop for my new car and see my down payment and monthly payment for every car I viewed! My specifications were pretty clear -- AWD, less than 10,000 miles, and never a rental car. I found my dream car a few days later, and started the purchase process. It was quite smooth and the directions were very clear about what documents need to be uploaded. When I went to click on "finalize purchase" (or something like that), a red flag popped up...my trade-in value expired WHILE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING OUT! I got on chat with Carvana staff right away, and they were able to return the trade in value to NEARLY what it was before the expiration. This is something that needs to be addressed by Carvana -- once a customer is to a certain point in the process, those numbers need to be frozen. So we set a delivery time, and the Carvana rep was pretty much on time considering he was traveling 70 miles or so from the Chicago office. Everything was smooth -- signed a couple more papers, took my Pathfinder for a spin, Eric inspected my trade, and I left within 30 minutes with my new car. I would also like to add that I drove directly to my mechanic, so he could inspect the car and make sure I wasn't buying something with hidden damage. Mechanic said to me, "This car is perfect, like new." Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks Carvana! I am telling everyone I know about you guys. Good to work with you! Janet - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

The 2018 Kia Forte was the last year in a series--the newly designed 2019 Kia interior is by far more appealing to the eye. If the '19 isn't in your budget, then there are many 2018s with very few miles and a great price--I would recommend one of those. The mileage is better than the EPA estimate and the car's controls are user friendly. I drive a German car as well and they are known for good ergonomics but I think Kia is up to snuff with them--perhaps even more user friendly. The window tinting (or windows themselves) on mine was defective, so look at the vehicle very closely in bright sunshine. Overall? A good buy and a good brand (I have owned only 4 German cars and 13 Korean--the German brands may be more fun, but the Kia is practical and not a dull drive either)

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.

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....

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.

I love it! Great gas mileage. Not cramped at all. Stylish. Handles well. I would highly recommend...especially for commuting. Holds a lot (Hatch). Way to GO KIA!

This is my first new car and I love it! It has everything I need and more. My favorite things about it are the Bluetooth and the gas mileage. I travel a lot for work so that us great.

Just bought yesterday as part of a one for two trade-in deal. I call this a luxury version of a basic vehicle, meaning you won't forget this is a budget vehicle, but it has some very nice touches that make me feel it's more than a bare-bones box. The rear camera is much better than the one on the 2014 Kia Soul! mid-package car I traded in, and the sound system, while a major step down from the Soul, delivers good quality sound. The ride is exceptionally smooth, even over potholes and other road dips and bumps. With just a handful of driving miles in this car, so far it feels like a very worthy budget-minded replacement for my almost 5 year Soul, which I loved.
