2001 Kia Rio LX 1.5 DOCH from Spain
Summary:
Good price, all extras included
Faults:
None at the moment.
General Comments:
My first idea was to buy a second hand card because the money I could spend on it. But when I saw I could have all I wanted in a brand new car I didn't doubt.
I really mind security in a car and the Rio LS comes with almost any devices I was looking for.
The power of the 1.5 engine is enough for my driving. And in addition the fuel mileage is very near to the announced 7.2.
I had read about two problems: noise and suspension. I have compared them with other cars and found that it is not more noisy or less comfortable.
I use my car daily in the city and from time to time make trips of over 500 km. I think I got a car which is comfortable and modern and I like the way it looks. Also sometimes I need to carry extra luggage and all fit in it.
I think I got the car I paid for.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Don't get too attached to it. Chances are it will fall apart within a few years. Once the maintenance and repair costs start to mount, you can expect to be hunting for another car.
