This car is awesome on gas mileage! Number one reason I bought it. Its nothing to look at on the inside. A no bells and whistles car. Engine was great the entire 152k miles I drove it. However; it eats tires, it shakes at 70mph, it weighs nothing so is completely unsafe if you get into an accident. Do not buy this as a first car for your teenager. It was a stepping stone car for me. If money is not the real issue, I would buy a honda.

My grandpa paid over $12k for this car in 2008 my grandma drove it to work. In 2014 they gave the car to my sister for college & at only 107k they had to rebuild the transmission & power steering...i drive it now at 175k i had to replace the battery already & it shakes horribly on interstate & can barely go up a hill doesnt handle great eh ....i guess the car would be okay for someone else. But i would rather have a corolla or neon not a huge fan of kia .....yeah i paid $2500 ...for it but basically im trying to sale it for something else. Give the car 2-3 stars

Bought a new Hyundai Santa Fe Ltd last Fall. And although I love driving the vehicle, I'm not thrilled with my mileage. I spent one night looking on the net for a "get about town" car and found the Rio. Love this little gem. A fun car to drive and 30+ mpg city. Sometimes miss the bells and whistles (my seat warmers and power door locks) but this car is a blast! Great heater, surprising trunk space. Add a good window tint, and it has a great look. Not "budget" at all; a real bargain. Remains to be seen about reliability, and the A/C. But with the great warranty, I'm just not worried. Not my choice for a long road trip, except for mileage.
Best economy car choice

I have had my Rio for a few months now, and still love it as much as when I bought it. I test drove an Elantra just before I drove the Rio, and I didn't notice any difference in the ride or power. The 5 speed manual is a blast, with a light clutch, and the engine really starts kicking when over 3500 rpm. The suspension is excellent, as is the fuel economy. It is noticeably taller than most other cars, making you feel more like you're driving a van than an economy car. It has more interior room than the Toyota Corolla.
