Best basic car ever
Forget the memories of the cheap cars like the Yugo. This was the basic bottom line, no frills model on the lot. It has been the most reliable and economical car I have ever owned. I’m getting older and need more safety assist features. Our next car will be a Kia.

A good value
I have around 104,000 miles on my 2013 Kia Rio hatchback which I purchased new in December 2012. Given that the car was around $15,000 brand new, it has been a great value. Positives: Price, solid acceleration, good handling, comfortable for a subcompact, relatively spacious storage with rear seats down, gas mileage decent- usually about 35 mpg highway, original warranty was very good. Negatives: Hatchback has poor rear visibility, rear brake calipers seized up from rust, thin body panels dent easily. It isn't a Honda, Toyota, or Subaru. But given what I paid, this has been a more than a decent car. I continue to comfortably and affordably driven it on long trips around the country.

Great little car
I saw the car I have now at the used car lot that is located behind my house and felt that it fit my personality. I got it for a great price and it just the right size for me, after driving my Mom’s station wagon. The pickup is great and the color of the car (which is blue) and the technology located inside is cool! I really like the remote opener.

The little Kia the could
I have had this car for 7 years and I can’t stay enough about how good this car has been to me. I had to put some work into it as I had some issues with sensors and engine misfires, but I still am satisfied. They were all fairly cheap fixes. I just upgraded to a 2018 Rio since my catalytic converter needs to be replaced. If it didn’t then I would have driven it till the engine or transmission blew.
