Handles great, feels like a peppy little car even though HP only 120. I can see over the dash, important for a petite person.

I just bought a 2023 kia rio s in the currant red color on the 22 of January I will say I love it like how I love my 2022 rio lx I just putted 550 miles on my 23 rio it’s doing great I believe it will be reliable as my 2022 rio lx has 7,000 miles I have never had a problem with my 2022 rio so I hope both cars keep being reliable as the mileage increases and I like that my 23 rio has a armrest and keyless entry and folding seats and no it does not have the technology package update my 2023 Kia Rio s has 8,600 miles it’s been reliable interior is easy to clean and cheap to maintain my other 2022 Kia Rio lx has held up very well after 2 years and 15,000 miles and it’s been very reliable my car kias have been the most reliable cars I’ve owned out of all the cars I’ve owned totally recommend checking out a Rio

Nice reliable car good on the freeway and i made a few trips always get 55 mpg on the highway comfortable good on gas the transmission feels smooth driving it handles great on the highway not much wind noise and the engine is not loud I’ve had this car for 9 months I got this car in the base lx trim it does not have cruise control but I don’t care because I don’t like cruise but a impressive car for $17k this is like the ultimate car I’ve had from driving basic cars of the 33 years of driving and yes this is my first brand new car I bought update the car is still doing great at 6,000 miles still drives great and transmission still shifts smoothly I would highly recommend the 2022 kia rio or 2023 kia rio and if your looking in the used car market and looking get the 2020 rio i had a 2020 kia rio as my rental car in my trip to Los Angeles and the 2020 rio did great but it has a different facelift and a smaller infotainment screen update January 22 I got a 2023 Kia rio s in currant I still have my 22 lx both cars are great January 26 I just putted 7,000 miles on my 22 rio lx still doing great I putted 550 miles on my 23 rio s I hope both of my Rio continue to be reliable as the mileage increases on both of them
