2005 Kia Rio LX review from UK and Ireland
"Would never buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car would not change gear until 5,500 revs reached.
Petrol consumption - car very thirsty and did not perform to manufacturers figures.
General comments?
The car is very comfortable.
Has plenty of leg room - especially for a tall passenger.
