2004 Kia Rio review from North America
"Well reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not a thing.
General comments?
Have to change the front brakes and tires every 30,000mi and rear brakes and tires every 60,000.
Excellent fuel economy.
Drives nice on the highway.
Lots of space in the trunk.
This car looks best in blue.
Costs very little to keep.
One little negative thing is the back seats are very uncomfortable according to other people who sat in the back seat.
