2003 Kia Rio review from North America
"Minute Maid has a new competitor!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-In a span of two months, the following things have gone wrong:
-There were scratches on the rear bumper upon purchase.
-The CD player jammed.
-The paint was chipped and scratched upon purchase.
-The car began smelling of rotten eggs (this seems to be a common problem)
-The AC failed and wasn't fixed by the dealer.
General comments?
This has got to be the worst car I have owned by far. Never before has owning a car been such a hassle.
I guess it's not a complete loss, it'll supply me with enough lemonade to last a couple of years.
