Wasn't expecting such a nice little car as the cheapest car in America. They've come a long way since the Ford Aspire's and Yugo's of years past. Haven't had any problems with my Rio, driven it hard the whole time I've had it. While it is an adjustment switching between driving my Expedition and the Rio, the nimbleness and trunk space is appreciated in this car.
Fun and economical

I have NO complaints about this car except that the transmission slips now and again and the Dealership that sold me the car is full of losers, swindlers and liars. I love the gas mileage this car gets, especially in todays economy. It's cute and handles like a dream. I will definitly consider buying another KIA when that time comes, however I will choose a different Dealership.

2003 Kia Rio Cinco 4dr Wagon (1.6L 4cyl 5M)

I test drove a Kia Rio Cinco while out with my girlfriend who was looking to buy a car for her daughter. I was so surprised and impressed with the ride, handling and comfort I decided to go back and buy one for myself. The engine is "energetic" and cruises the interstate with no strain at all. The car handles well even when passing the big rigs on the road. Despite the poor reviews on the manual transmission, I found mine to shift smoothly and easily.
Dandy little car

A/C is the best in any car I've ever driven. It takes off slow...but then top end is really pretty good. I like all the features. A dandy little car!

The car is money saver, It's uncomfortable, noisy, unsafe (poor at stopping), but Ive saved so much. Yes, 41 mpg, is obtainable by keeping the air filter replaced, along with running 93 octane and your good to go (on a 10 gallon tank its only a buck more to put the 93 in). The 2008s I would expect to be a little better in comfort.
