2003 Kia Rio RX-V review from North America
"Best value for money around"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light (because of fuel overfill).
General comments?
Exceptional value for the money in this model with power locks, power windows remote key-less entry, power mirrors, and adjustable seat.
Underpowered, but performs well when driven aggressively.
Hatchback is very convenient, especially with 60/40 split seats.
