I love my little car. After 4 years I've had oil changes, tire rotations, and the usual maintenance. No major problems at all. This is the best car I've ever owned. The best part? It's Emerald Green ... my husband and sons won't drive it! LOL People laugh at it, but every winter I drive by the SUV's and bigger cars that go off the road or stall. It's definitely a keeper!
Reliable and Dependable

I have owned the Kia Rio since January 2001. It has been very reliable and dependable. It has some warranty and repair work done in the first two years I owned it, but I never had to pay any out of pocket expenses for repair work on the car. After owning a Plymouth Sundance and a Dodge Neon, this is the most dependable car I have owned. It's well over 100,000 miles now and still going strong. I also hit two deer with the vehicle and it held up very well. This car does not have any special features or a powerful engine, but its good on the gas and gets me where I need to go.

I drove this car for 6 of it's 8 years of life.... Yesterday a Ford Expedition pulled out in front of me and I T-Bone it.... Air bags deployed as they were supposed to which probably save both my wife an my lives.... The Kia took all the impact and distroyed the front end but the inside was OK... We went to hospital but were relased with only minor nicks and scraps.... I just got back from getting our stuff out of the reckage and had to say good by to an old friend.. Except for minor fix ups and normal oil changes, this car has been a great car for me and my family...... I drive an average of 20,000 miles a year on the freeway and I got 32MPG.. It died with 150000+ miles on it.

Excellent small cheap car. Great city milleage. Exceptional air conditioner system and nice stereo. Very reliable. Already over 15k miles, and have only had to do oil changes. Spending only about $40 a month on gas, or less. Still using same original tires and brakes. Very peppy engine, good for the hills.

Air bag light came on about as soon as I got it - dealers say moisture, finally after near 2 yrs they are replacing clock spring, trunk leaked when it rained, they're fixing, driver seat broke, they're fixing. It doesn't do well in snow, wind blows it around too much, too light of a vehicle. Windows fog up easily & it's hard to get the defrost to unfog them. Only engine trouble is needed plugs & wires. Back seat room limited, cup holders too small for most cups, armrest can't be used comfortably while shifting, A/C very cold.
