I bought this vehicle new in 2019. The gas mileage is great. After 50k it was downhill as far as reliability goes. It now has 66k on it and has been in the garage 4 times for major repair. I will not be buying a Rio anytime soon!

Up until now i hadn’t heard much about Kia brand cars at all, good or bad. I don’t know anyone that owns one. But after searching for a new car after an unfortunate hit and run in my (lemon) Ford Focus I found a Rio. BEAUTIFUL interior. Extremely comfortable bucket seats and responsive acceleration. So far, I’ve been able to maintain a range of 41.7 miles to the gallon for about 10 miles. Wow. The technology though is what really finalized the sale for me. It has a crystal clear back up camera on a large touch screen computer. It’s like a built in iPad mini. Kia has really stepped it up! Love my Rio.

Mediocre subcompact with a few redeeming features

I hired the S from Dollar for 3 weeks and currently in week 2. Pros- Android Auto, large trunk, reasonable gas consumption, decent reversing camera. Cons - old hat auto box, 1990s gas engine technology, acceleration best described in fractions of a day, noisy under acceleration, diabolically poor headlights ( in my view dangerously poor and similar to 1970-1980 autos), ride and handling both poor with is quite an achievement. I have not seen Skoda Fabia here in US but they would eat this car for breakfast and still be as reliable and probably more economic on gas.
