Poor Fuel Economy

2015 Kia Rio SX 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 6A)
1 of 4 people found this review helpful

Sticker Stated a Fuel Economy rating of 38 HWY, 28 City. I commute 55 miles ad roundtrip to work on the Freeway. I calculate my mileage at each fill up. I am luck to get 29 - 30 MPG HWY, and 19 - 20 MPG CITY. The dealer states that there is nothing they can do to help me.

Make sure of the following: Has cruise? Adjustable front rider seat? Nice looking but look for features

Car is so so, but the dealer service and quality is horrible, I took my Kia to 3 different Kia dealer and they have no customer service. My car purchased came with wrong battery installed. after 2 years the battery died, I took into the dealer to have them provide the correct battery the dealers refused.

Great Little Car

Norah, 03/31/2024
2016 Kia Rio SX 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 6A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

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.
