My little zippy

I bought my little zippy back and April of 2021 even though I only have 2,700 miles on it I really love driving that car I call it little zippy because when I push that sport button I've got all the power I need when I'm on the highway or city streets, I find it to be a fun little car to drive it's true you don't have much room the space in the back the whole stuff but I don't have a bunch of little ones so I don't have to worry about that much. The dealership that I bought it from allows me to go in there anytime that I want and get it free car wash got to love that! And the great mileage I get out of it, I'm already thinking about getting a new Kia forte when they come out.

I bought this car to commute to work. I was told was good on gas -- not really. I drive city and highway to and from work and I'm filling up almost every week driving the limit. i took it to back to dealership and they can find anything wrong with it. It is not stable especially on the highways and bridges ( i go ove the bridge twice a day and when its windy I have to go extremely slow for fear of being blown off ) However, the interior is fine and it is a cute little car.

Rio sport

2020 small. no room in back seat .. Trunk space is ok . I only had it 1 week .. And driven it 4 time it was full and not on half a tank . I thought it looked sporty. Which it does. Like the car/blue color. But will not buy one again will go back to Kia forte . rides great and low to ground . I don't understand the mpg say 52.0 which I think is not right. So I am going to fill it up when empty. To see cost to fill up forte was 25.00. I come back in A month ...
