Most reliable car we have owned

We was looking for a family car with lots of room. Kia Rio has plenty of leg room even with a carseat in the back. Big truck space for all the things we need to travel with a baby.

Kia Rio nice and blue

This car is pretty good. Kia Rio is good at manging speed. If you have a bad habit of speeding up a little bit over. The rio will help you mange your speed so you don't go over the speed limit. The car is great at switching lanes with ease.

One the best entry levels cars around

We own 3 Kias. 2 Kia souls and now a Kia Rio. This car is for my daughter. We have had very good reliability with our Kia cars. This was a purchase that fit our budget and will get her thru College.

Kio Reo, Cheap built car, High priced.

Cheap made car no built in Satellite Radio, not available or built in navigation system. Both Satellite Radio and navigation system are part of Android Auto. In order for Android Auto to work phone must be plugged in, what a pain in the neck, it's a joke, I never use it. The manufacturer uses these tactics to get you into a more expensive car, don't fall for it.

Great Value

If you're looking for a reliable car with great gas mileage and a few bells and whistles while not breaking the bank this is the car for you. It isn't a race car but it does well with day to day commutes. It handles well. The infotainment center is amazing. Comes with apple play and the android equivalent. It's missing a few driver assists but does have rear facing back up camera and assisted breaking. The inside has the typical plastic dash of most cars but the density and texture is of good quality. For the money you're not getting better, feels like a car that's worth 20k instead of 16.

Very reliable commuter car

Car is very economical to drive. Acceleration is modest. Not a lot of upper headroom in transmission for quick 0-60 time. Center console needs to be longer for use as arm rest. Currently my elbow barely rests on the front edge. Driver door arm rest needs softer material than hard plastic. Nimble in turns and roomy in the front. Back is tight for passengers who need modest leg room. Trunk quite large.
