2002 Kia Rio LX review from UK and Ireland
"Terrific value for anyones money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
