2002 Kia Rio Cinco review from North America
"Squishy ride, Mi-Tech, responsive all for under 8grand NEW"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed a clutch pedal adjustment within the first 200 miles.
The rest was general matenience.
General comments?
The car cas a pretty fun car to drive. Light and squishy would be 2 words to describe its handling, but overall it was a very responsive car it just lacked suspension sophistication. I ran over a curb in the car and bent the subframe effectivly totalling the car so I wouldn't reccoment it for people that just can't stay away from curbs or other run overable things. I had an old dynasty. I liked that better.
