2004 Kia Rio review from North America
"Fun to drive economy car that is a piece of junk!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is my second review, the dealer swapped me out of a BAD KIA Rio that they couldn't fix (879 miles), bad computer. The replacement car's engine light came on at 417 miles, drove to the dealer and the car has been there for 6 days. Same computer problem as the previous car, KIA hopes to have a fix in 3-4 weeks.

General comments?
Kia Rio is a car with major flaws in it's computer system. I would avoid buying a KIA, the low selling price is just not worth it!!!
