2002 Kia Rio 4 door review from North America
"Of all the cars I've ever owned, this has been my favorite"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This has been a great automobile. For one or two people, it is very comfortable, and as long as the rear passengers are not NFL blockers, everyone has enough room and can enjoy the ride. Even with a full load, the ride quality is very good.
The trunk holds a lot. I especially appreciate the low floor-level loading height.
Fit and finish are very good.
My only 2 gripes are the lack of a cruise control and the somewhat low mpg.
