The technology package is worth it. My only complaint is road noise. I am concerned that the paint on the front seems to chip easily and have read about Kia paint problems. All in all I think the 20k that I spent was worth it.
Plenty of pep

I bought the car to drive back and forth to work and keep from being ate alive by gas prices in my pickup. I drive approx. 36 miles round trip every day and in the summer months when not allowing the car to idle and warm up I avg. 44mpg. Winter time when I let it warm up for 5 or 10 minutes, I avg. 39mpg. Now the car is cheaply made and has its space issues, but what do you expect out of a brand new car under 17 grand? If you want a good gas getter for commuting this is the car for you.

So I went to my Local Kia Dealer and they were having a End of Year Sale. I was not really looking to buy a car. But they gave me a great deal; I traded in my 2018 Ford Fiesta SE Hatchback 24,000 Miles Paid Off and a Check for $5,500 and got a new 2020 Kia Rio LX S. It had 20 miles and I financed it thru my credit union at an interested rate of %2.14 My monthly payment is $170.00 per month for 36 months. Also The car drives nice and more room than the fiesta. I got the 10 year 100,000 warranty and got upgraded my car for good value. I do recommend the 2020 Kia Rio. have had the Kia 13 months. I had a problem with the Electrical System; Kia motors gave me a rental car and repaired the Cluster. For the price I paid. I am one happy camper As of 7-5-2022 I have $15,000 miles and the Kia works great. currently i have 20,000 miles on my kia rio i have about 3,500 miles until my next oil change the dealer offered me $14,500 if i traded it in for a 2023 Kia Rio for $5,822 OUT THE DOOR But I said no as of today i have 24,550 miles on Kia Rio no issues

For the accessible price point this beauty has a lot of features and is really nice to drive. In a nutshell I would describe it as Incredibly fuel efficient but surprisingly nimble. I've upgraded from my 2007 Toyota Yaris to the 2020 Kia Rio5 and its incredible to see what's become standard in 13 years of car improvements. Tons of gadgets from rear view camera to automatic headlights and wipers and during the Canadian winters who couldn't mention the heated seats and steering wheel. It even has a sport mode button which makes acceleration surprisingly quick. I was prepared to dish out more money for a new car, initially looking at vehicles like the Kia Seltos and Hyundai Venue but found that I preferred this over them even when disregarding the price comparison. I decided maybe more money doesn't mean better car, so I tried the Nissan Micra and Mitsubishi Mirage next and realized that it turns out the Rio is just an outstanding car in it range. Take one for a test drive and you'll see the difference yourself.
