Used 2004 Kia Rio Sedan Consumer Reviews
college girls dream car
I bought this car for my daughter who is a freshman in college, she absolutely loves it. Was looking for an inexpensive new car, that would be dependable, good warranty, and a car I felt she would be safe in. This was it. I feel the gas mileage could be better, but I drive a durango and get 13 miles to the gallon, so I shouldn't compain. Overall she loves it, the style fits he, wanted something small and cute. Great 1st new car for her, when she is out of school, he younger sister is looking forward to it for her first car.
Great bargain!
Sharp styling inside and out! A NEW car at this price is a breath of fresh air! Awesome warranty! Yes...there are few shortfalls but show me a car at this price that doesn't. It's great bang for the buck. Mine is a silver RS with a 5 speed and I added a rear spoiler with a built in LED brake light which really finishes off an already smart looking car.

Outstanding little car. I drive this car daily. I am in sales and drive about 15000 miles a year. I have as yet to have a problem with this car. Fantastic stock stereo/CD player,

The Rio is very poor on gas it could be a little more fuel efficient.

I purchased my Kia Rio new in 2004 and treated it well - always got oil changes on time, replaced the timing belt at 90,000 miles (I was told to do it by 100k). Within 3 years of purchase the brake proportioning valve went bad. W/in 2 years the rear tires were going bald far faster than they should have - turns out I was sold a new car with a bent rear axle. Past 2 years (100-120k): intermittent electrical problem that we finally realized (after replacing the spark plugs/wires 2x) was a cracked engine coil. Last week (139k): fourth cylinder blew.
