2004 Kia Rio ice 1.4

Summary:

Cheap motoring good value could do worse

Faults:

The car has been faultless, but at that kind of mileage I would think so.

I have been looking at the KIA RIO, and I was just wondering if your car is still up to scratch? Is it still working well? I thought that it looked like a lovely car and looked very roomy for my family.Although, after seeing the comments I am a bit concerned as a lot of them seemed to have ended up with lemons. I hope I don't :)

2002 Kia Rio LX 1.3

Summary:

Terrific value for anyones money

Faults:

None.

General Comments:

I bought this car on impulse as a Christmas present for my wife.

Waiting for delivery I began to have reservations.

I didn't need to, the car has so far exceeded all our expectations, it is good looking, drives very well, and holds lots of luggage.

The automatic gearbox is smooth and predictable, plus, it can be switched out of overdrive for a little more sporty feel.

With the extended warranty, plus, roadside breakdown cover, there is no other deal on the market to match this little cracker.

Driving over 34,000 miles per year on business, in a People Carrier, the Rio is a great family car for the weekend.

I would recommend it to anyone.
