We have had a new engine, new timing belt, new starter, new fuel pump module and if I could remember the rest I would. This car is awful. FYI..IT'S STILL NOT RUNNING. Purchased the vehicle with 40 thousand miles and thought I got a great vehicle for my daughter.. What a piece..

got 3months service out of my baby. I bought it used, stopped at a traffic light, the engine died and wouldn't start. I had it towed to the mechanic & a rod had broken & pierced the engine which is now ruined. Kia was nice, but sense I am the second owner I'm out of luck. a new engine cost more than the car is worth, so I'm out the $3,000.00 I still owe on it.

I bought this car for my daughter for school, only to find out that I really like this car for myself, too bad it's her car and Im out of luck. I paid $3700 plus tax, tags, title. The price was right because the first owner fails to change the timing belt at 60K miles, and timing belt broke and ruined the original engine. Kia dealer replaced engine and now the car runs like brand new. So dont forget to change timing belt ever 60k miles. The gas mileage is great, am getting between 36-40 on the highway and 27-29 in town. I drive this car like an old man going nowhere in a hurry. I will check out a used 2006 Kia Rio for myself next time I need a car.
So far, So good

Bought a 2005 Rio new, and now have about 1,500 miles on it. Wanted to see if what I had heard about Kia's quality was for real, and wanted a cheap car to drive.
Great Car

For a little car, it is really well built and as a true believer in you get what you pay for, I can honestly say I am very pleased with my 2005 Kia Rio S. It is the most perfect little commuter ever. I love it!
