Dodge Guy Turned Kia Guy

I've owned Dodge all of my life.. I looked at Kia because of the Warranty and I'm so happy I did. Car is built solid, when I close the doors or trunk you can tell it's built tough. Love the fact they added more steel making the overall structure a safer ride. I'm enjoying the fuel economy and the fun feel of the sporty hatchback. I'm really happy with my 2018 Rio 5Door .

Great style n quality at an economical price. I get 40 mpg on freeway. I’m 6’2” and have plenty of room. In fact more room than most suvs. Tons of room to haul stuff. I recommend this sporty car over the Mini Cooper, Volkswagen GTE or Fiat 500.

I love this car

I have the sport hatchback. My Rio now has 62,000 miles on it (thanks to me) and I have had zero problems. This car is extremely easy to maintain. I am 6,1 and I have long legs. The Rio was the only car of this size (besides the 2018 Yaris) where I could fit comfortably in the driver's seat. It is extremely nimble, and she has more pep than you think. The radio system touch screen is extremely responsive. The only cons are the car's steelies with the wheel covers. They were way too light, and it made it to where the car had low grip and a long stopping distance. I had to put on aftermarket rims to fix this problem. If you're gonna buy this car, buy it with rims. It's safer that way
