I bought my Rio, brand new, 6 years ago, and I'm still driving it. It now has nearly 90,000 miles on it. It's been in an accident, been broken in to, hauled furniture, been on a couple trips halfway across the states, and generally not been treated with kid gloves. Through it all, I have not had any problems, and it has been a very reliable little trooper. I am completely satisfied with this underestimated jewel.
Gets you where you need to go

I bought this car from my uncle in late 2008, it had about 88,000 miles on it and I have only put about 3,500 miles on it. It runs pretty nice..better than i had expected. My uncle took very good care of it because the interior still looks great. The car starts always starts right away and i kinda like the sound it makes when you accelerate and the radio is off. Speaking of the radio, mine has the stock with CD player on it, its pretty decent, but will probably put a new one in. Can drive to high speeds(highway)if need be, but most of my driving is in town. Overall, this car has been reliable & hopefully it will keep being a good car to me. I plan on driving it until the wheels come of.

The price is very appealing (not to mention the warranty), but I've had nothing but problems after purchasing my new KIA Rio. At only 900 miles, the computer was shot. I was without a car for over two weeks as the dealership in Lansing, MI had the part on order. No loaner car while waiting, never calling me with status, etc! Since then it has never ran very well .. makes a whistling sound going down the highway about 70MPH, hard starting, etc Steer clear of the 2001 Kia Rio!
Should have bought a bicycle

I've had this car for about 2 1/2 years. During the first month, the breaks started to squeel, the trim on the doors started to fall off, during snowy or even damp conditions the wheels would lock-up making the car slide rather than stop(maybe the tires?) the engine has been making a ticking sound for the past little while, etc. I sold my crx and took on the 4 year lease when I was in college (I'm an idiot!) Í've been trying to find out how much it will cost to get out of the lease, but they have been dicking me around for a few weeks.
SHOULD HAVE NEVER MADE THIS CAR

LET'S SEE HERE I HAVE HAD THIS CAR IN THE SHOP OVER 20 TIMES NEEDING TO HAVE SAFETY AND DRIVEABLITY REPAIRS. AND THEY STILL TO THIS DAY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. THIS CAR IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN.... IT ONLY GOT 36,000 MILES ON IT I SEE OTHER PEOPLE DO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS I DO WITH THIS CAR. THEY NEED TO PUT CAUTION TAPE AROUND THE CAR SAYING DO NOT DRIVE
