Great Little Car

My Rio hatchback was the perfect car for me. I bought this car at 40,000 miles and put 60,000 miles in on it in 5 years. I had zero issues. I drove coast to coast, hit 343 curbs, and the death of my Rio only occurred becausel I went too long without changing the oil and shot a piston thru the motor. It was slow to accelerate on the highway, but once I got up there in speed, I would zoom. I loved my Rio and my Rio loved me. This is a great car for the girls.

This car amazed me with it's power, and speed. It shifted perfectly, and drove like a beast.

This car was nice to drive, the Kia of downtown LA maintains the used cars and they are in good shape for buying. I should have left a small deposit on this car. After 7 days I returned to the dealership they sold the car. I did not follow the recommendation of Edmunds.com, my fault.
