Used Kia Rio for Sale in Nashville, TN

Simple car buying experience. My car salesman was great (Mark Myers) the whole process was simple. They were quicker on their end than my insurance was. In total I spent only a couple hours in their office and left with a great car.

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.

Back in 2004 my husband and I purchased our first vehicle together from University Motors fresh out of college. Of course the experience was scary at first. We didn't have the best credit, we had heard stories of getting taken advantage of from used car dealers, and more importantly we fearful of purchasing a lemon. To our surprise, we were treated with respect (they didn't take advantage of our youthfulness) from the moment we walked in the door. We got a fair deal on a great vehicle and it lasted us 10 years. Although the car needed a few repairs (we purchased - as is) they honored their warranty and we never experienced any reoccurring issues after their work was complete. Fast forward to today and their service has only improved. Three weeks ago we purchased a 2014, with the factory warranty, from them and got another great car for an excellent deal. Overall, the experience was great AGAIN - because this time we knew they would take great care of us - we didn't have that same anxiety. Consistency is key nowadays and they are without doubt consistent. Ask Cutler or Chris and you be in good hands.

I purchased my car from a certified pre-owned Kia dealership in the beginning of 2016. This was my 2nd Kia Rio and was very excited to be getting into a gently used one that had very low miles. The lx does not come with cruise control AND a temperature gauge. Long story short my Rio blew a head gasket due to a faulty water pump, it wasn’t showing any signs of over heating and no lights came on. I have had done regular maintence at my local Kia dealer and no one has said a word. I did in fact replace the engine and also put in an after market gauge and thermostat in to ensure I can see if my car is ever over heating! Trust me, if you ever see your thermostat sensor “idiot light” come on the damage as already been done. The fact this isn’t a recall is absurd. I’m definitely not pleased with the vehicle but other then Kia cheating out on a temperature gauge it was a nice car, very spacious while also being appealing to the eye and being great on gas (372 miles highest fuel range I’ve ever seen in my dash). Don’t think by spending less on a car that you’ll be spending less in the long run. My next car will definitely not be a Kia.

I purchased my 2016 Kia Soul 10/01/15. This purchase was probably my 1st new vehicle purchase in 20 years. But the style of the Soul & the 10 year/100,000 warranty really caught my attention being a widow with a somewhat fixed income. Servicing a new vehicle has really changed over the years -- used to be every 3 months/3000 miles. Now you only go every 6 mos for the oil change. Back in the day you packed a lunch & planned to stay the day. Now you go in to a nice clean facility, with a choice of 2 comfortable waiting room, with a flat screen TV and refreshments. Then just about the time you get your coffee & donut and sit down to watch TV, they come & tell you .. your car is ready !!! Seriously both times I have been to the Rivergate Kia, was there less than an hour from start to finish & had gotten an oil change & the tires rotated! It was so economical ...I hated to ask for a coupon, but I did anyway! Very nice, prompt & economical ..... give them a call & ask for Matt Russell

This is a nice-looking, comfortable, well-performing car at a very reasonable price. I have gotten lots of compliments on it, and I really enjoy driving since I got it.

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

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 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.

This was my first car buying experience, on my own. I was quite apprehensive, as I had heard horror stories about people being pressured to buy what they really didn't want by pushy salesmen. Ben Auert was friendly, professional, and patient. He took his time and made sure that I understand every part of the car buying process. At no time did I feel pressured or bullied. Ben even took the time to help me get the bluetooth/UVO app set up in my car. I now have a my first new car, a 2019 Kia Soul, and I couldn't be more pleased! Thank you Ben and Universal Kia!!!

They are reliable and gas they’re good cars some wrong is it good air condition good music to save on gas I would like to another one because they are good cars to have

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.

We first went to another Carmax, told salesman what we wanted and he Then tried to sale us something else. We then came to Rivergate Carmax told them what we were looking for and the ynpointed to a part of the lot and said salesman will be the shortly. No pressure in and out within 90 minutes with new van. No money down. Will definitely come back when get ready to buy again.

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 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)

over all good looking for daughter her first car the car we bought was in great condition an few miles

My Kia Rio met all my needs. I fill the gas tank with $ 25.00 dollars. I love its Bluetooth, USB port and back camera.

Folks, this is how the car buying process should work everywhere. We purchase a 2008 Mazda CX-9 and could not be happier with the car or the experience with Cory and his team at Car Hunters. They have an excellent selection of quality used cars and trucks that are well-serviced and priced fairly. They offer tremendous value, and isn't that what you want? You don't want to overpay, nor do you want "cheap." I'm that guy who has buyers remorse about everything - I can't spend $1.50 on a candy bar and not regret it 10 minutes later. But I can honestly say that we enjoyed buying this car, and I will definitely see Cory again when I am in the market for the next one. Not low-pressure, but a no pressure, consultative approach at Car Hunters. They offer options for financing, but they don't push you in any direction. You're not going to pay junk fees or be encouraged to buy warranties and stuff you don't need. Come here and get the car you want at a good price. How confident am I in these guys? I would absolutely send my mom, my sister, or my grandma to buy a car here. So if you are anywhere within driving distance of Mount Juliet, TN, do yourself a favor and check out these guys before you buy your next used car. Chances are you'll do like I did and drive away in your new car thinking how smart you are...

The car is everything I could have wanted - well built, compact, speedy, and a smooth drive. Definitely enjoying my first Kia! Also very affordable, which is always great!

Was not planning to purchase a new car anytime soon however Connor ???Bow Tie??? was able to ask me all the right questions to get me to see that now was the perfect time to get into the vehicle that Best serves me! He asked more than he told, he made sure I understood everything, he was not in it for himself and had me in and out quickly. Thanks for making this experience so MARVELous. 😍??😍

I bought my 2013 Kia Rio LX sedan about 9 months ago, and I couldn't be happier. I live in Los Angeles and spend a lot of time in my car. I wanted wanted something stylish, reliable, and economical with enough pep to get up to highway speed quickly and my Kia Rio delivers on all counts. Plus it's a lot of fun to drive. I admit I was surprised at how well it sticks to the road

I went here on 2/20/16 just to get some information on possibly buying a car. I really didn't think I would be leaving the same day with a brand new car! Due to my not so great credit I truly thought that I wouldn't get approved to buy a used car let alone a new one. The process from start to finish was quick with great customer service. I will highly recommend Franklin Kia to my family and friends!

I went from driving a 2003 saturn ion, to a 2003 ford svt focus to this bad baby. After a car that broke down what felt like every other week, it was refreshing to finally drive a car that didn't make my wallet constantly cry. I didn't test drive the car before i purchased- i had a mechanically intelligent person do that for me. All it took was a picture of his cute exterior and an apt description and just like that I fell hard for him! He's the first automatic I've ever owned and I thought I would be sad because autos don't usually have that take-off kick that manuals do, but i was slightly shocked when i was at a stop-light, pressed on the gas, and was glued to my seat. I have a base model, and it doesn't have power windows or power locks, but neither did my saturn so it really doesn't phase me. The sound system is perfect without being too bass-y or unsmooth. The A/C and Heat system both work excellently without being too loud on full blast that you can't hear the radio. I was also shocked to see that the car had a very large trunk. I was able to fit a shopvac, a large backpack, a few small boxes, and some paintings in just the trunk. If you can afford this cute lil thing, i recommend it!

My customer service experience here was beyond amazing, and I came in just for an airbag replacement. Lo and behold I was treated like royalty even with my well loved 12 year old CR-v hoopty with over 100000 miles. I was in 30 minutes early for the appointment and they got started anyway. My kid was thrilled with all the snacks and free WiFi and the young lady who took care of me was SO nice. I'll be back to this dealership for my high mileage inspection. You can't beat the free car wash they give everyone either. 💯

Like it, I also like the fact that the side mirrors will just swivel around if hit going forward, rather than breaking. They can then just be turned back by hand.

This car is great on gas! Definitely a perfect fit for my little family. We only have the one vehicle and it is perfect for both of us commuting to work and great with our son for everyday driving.

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!😓

Mike was extremely helpful! He is the nicest car salesman I have ever met and was very knowledgeable about the vehicles on the lot. I completely trusted him and appreciate all of his work to get me the perfect 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....

Mike was very easy to work with. The dealership found a solution that we were happy with when the car we were interested was sold. We would definitely buy from them again. We got a great car for our 16 year old at a better price than we could find anywhere else.

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.

It was exactly what I was looking for. Its great on gas.I have plenty of leg room. Love the color of the interior. Very dependable.

i use this car as a daily commuter, being a 6spd manual cars great on gas super reliable and super cheap. the seats are comfy. everything is user friendly and very reliable.
