2000 Kia Rio LS 1.5 petrol
Summary:
Great value for money
Faults:
The tires wore unevenly, but this was caused by an accident and has since been repaired.
Has developed some minor rattles.
CD player has trouble reading some disks.
General Comments:
Its performance is adequate for a cheap, small car and fuel economy has been amazing - better than the manufacturer claims (I have managed 5.7L per 100km on the highway and 6.9L per 100km city)!
Handling is spongy and does not inspire enthusiastic driving. Standard tires do not deliver very good grip.
Interior space is cavernous for a small car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Just clicked over 120,000km in my Rio and have had no problems at all. Servicing is cheap and I have also been getting great economy.
