2003 Kia Rio sedan review from North America
"Within only two weeks, a sweetheart"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet. I have read the poor reviews and I am crossing my fingers that the new 2003 Rios are an improvement over the past performances.
I am concerned about the hot CD player.
General comments?
I love the car. It fits my short chubby body with the tilt wheel and the adjustable driver's seat, the gas mileage is excellent, and it takes California mountains just fine, even with the air conditioner on.
