My Experience with my Kia Rio
I bought this car about a month ago. Everything is fine but it has a very weird squeaky noise with the rear brakes. I've taken it to different places and nobody knows whats going on with it. The car is cheap and is no luxury at all. Everything inside is very simple. Is a little bit small, but i dont care about it because i use it to commute. Fuel economy is OK. Car is very quiet on both streets and highway. Tires are a bit small. I think that what you get for the money is fair.I like my car. I just wish We could find out whats going on with the brakes.
So happy to be GONE!
I bought this car because at the time, I had no choice. I needed a cheap car with a good warranty. Well, you get what you pay for! I had a small fender bender, hitting a car at 10 miles per hour. It resulted in a total breakage of the ball joint. My husband, an ASE certified master technician, took one look and could not believe the poor quality (he is convinced it broke first, causing the accident!) It was great on gas, but that's about it. I just got rid of the thing, for a beautiful Mazda crossover, and I've never been happier!

OK, for what it is.
I can find not fault with the build quality. Thinngs shut and reveal gaps are very exact. The motor in 5th gear turns much higher than I would envision for the torque and horsepower required. Needs a 6th gear.
low mileage
I bought a 2011 Rio in 2018 with 18,000 miles...It's like brand new....just broken in....it does have a ding in the right rear of the bumper where the lady I bought it from backed into a pole....I think I might to be able to pop it out...The price was right and I thought I better get this low mileage almost brand new 7 year old car Fifteen months have gone by and mileage is up to 19100 miles on this 8 year old car.....
