kb4 mused: "God, that interior color is horrid. What happened to the nice black or grey colors they used to have?" Aside to KR06: Don't take my restated observations personally. I just found it interesting that someone independently came to a similar conclusion (albeit presented a bit less diplomatically) as myself. I figured that the above quote was a good ... Read More...

You said, in part: In my mind the 2006 Kia Rio and soon-to-be-released 2006 Hyundai Accent (and, of course, the next-size car up) are the size I would feel safer in than in the 2007 Toyota Yaris or the new Nissan Versa, etc. If I wanted to buy one of those cars I would demand the car have SAB's and SAC's. Well then, :D You're problem is solved, because the Accent and Rio ... Read More...

I am one who chooses not to immerse myself into speculating on just how an accident might go down. I choose to buy the type of car I like and then drive the car responsibly, at all times and in all weather conditions. I realize that some moron could plow head on into me some dark night or even in broad daylight, but it wouldn't happen without me trying to evade it. I have ... Read More...

Beige interior on new Rio.... Hmmmmm.

Written by: spectraman on Oct 11, 2005 06:44 PM

Drove by the dealership tonight.... no Rio5's yet again. This time there were 2 additional new Rio sedans on the lot. In addition to the Olive Beige they've had for several weeks now, there's a Cashmere Beige (sort of a Gold), and a Tropical Red model. The red exterior with the black interior looked good. The black interior is basically monochromatic though... ... Read More...

good point. It's cool for me to wait on '06 Kia Rio crash test results as I'm not in a rush to trade in just yet, anyway. These will be interesting crash results because if I'm not mistaken this is a brand new Kia Rio design. Also, these are the CVVT engines, too, that put out less emissions and get better gas mileage than their old Rio motors. I'm thinking about putting ... Read More...

Re: Wish manual mpg was higher especially on the.. [bamacar]

Looking at the specs, you can see a significant difference between the high gear ratios of the manual and auto transmissions. I suppose that can explain the automatic's better highway mileage... It's good to see improvement over the current model. But Kia will need to bring a hybrid version of the Rio (supposedly considered for 2007, along with a Hyundai Accent ... Read More...

The new Kia Rio

Written by: lexusrocks on Mar 25, 2005 02:11 PM

Has anyone seen the new Kia Rio? Check it out at this link. http://autoshow.edmunds.com/news/autoshow/articles/103626/page043.html?tid=edmunds.e.autos- how..leftnav.44.** I think this will become the new king of the budget sedans such as the Chevrolet Aveo, Hyundai Accent, Toyota Echo. Maybe someone should throw these cars together in a comparison ... Read More...
