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.

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.

I haven't had any major problems yet. It's a noisy ride. Tire pressure system & check engine lights keep coming on but I'm told no problem. Biggest headache is it's constantly low on oil, I have to check every two weeks and it"s usually low. Mechanic says it's an issue with these cars.

We are very pleased with our new car. We really had a nice experience at cowboy kia in conroe. Our sales person was very helpful in selecting the right car.
