2003 Kia Rio RX-V review from North America
"A well appointed value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I can report in the first few months of operation, there have been no problems at all with the car. Other than oil changes, nothing else has been required.
General comments?
This car has a small horsepower output, but because of its low curb weight and high tech engine, it is surprisingly quick. The lack of a bigger engine only comes into play perhaps when traveling on the highways, but even then it holds its own. For around town, it has no problems getting up to speed.
For the money, it is quite roomy and quiet.
