Used 2007 Kia Rio Consumer Reviews
Bought it used and I love it
I bought my Kia used at about 130,000 miles on it. I’ve had it for a few months now and after putting almost 1,000 miles on it personally, I can say this car is amazing. For how many miles are on it, there are seriously no problems that I’ve ran into. The only thing is the belt on my engine is a bit worn, but thats pretty normal for and older/ higher mileage car. I’m very satisfied with my Rio and I hope it lasts me for more than my last car :)
Best little standard Car
Bought this in 2007 New 5 speed basic model hatchback and its been great. Basic maintenance driving in Canadian winters in the Rockies at -40c sometimes never put the block heater on and the car cranks over. Just replaced battery for the first time. My on a new driver a 15 loves this car and learning to drive stick. I was always told that it didn't have a great safety rating but according to this, it says 4 out of 5 so glad to hear. Only thing is the rear wiper isn't working but haven't tried to fix it yet.

Better than I expected
Drives better on the highway than I thought it would for a small car-I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of effect on the car when semi trucks passes me or I passes semi trucks-I expected to be pushed around on the road more than I was

The best thing about this vehicle is the fact that it gets 30 miles to the gallon. This is especially important due to the fact that I work 30 miles away from home. Another aspect of this car that appeals to me is how much room this little car has and how comfortable it is. It is an excellent vehicle for the money. I have 5 speed manual shifting, and the only problem I had, at first, was figuring out how to put in in reverse. You need to pull up a lever, pull the shifter all the way to your left and up to put into reverse. Once I got it, however, there no longer was any confusion. This is a minor set back.
Bad on gas
This was a horrible purchase. Terrible MPG 16-18 max. Brakes shot @ less then 9,000 miles in the shop 9 times for charging problem. This car looks ok, highly overrated!
