Would never buy another one
Car would not change gear until 5,500 revs reached.
Petrol consumption - car very thirsty and did not perform to manufacturers figures.
The car is very comfortable.
Has plenty of leg room - especially for a tall passenger.

Cheap motoring good value could do worse
The car has been faultless, but at that kind of mileage I would think so.
I've noticed on windy days there is a noise and a draft on the near side door seal have also had prob s with window seal on offside front door, but car has been OK at moment its not going to break the land speed record buts it's a lot of car for little money can't have it both ways,there are worse cars out there.

Terrific value for anyones money
None.
I bought this car on impulse as a Christmas present for my wife.
Waiting for delivery I began to have reservations.
I didn't need to, the car has so far exceeded all our expectations, it is good looking, drives very well, and holds lots of luggage.
The automatic gearbox is smooth and predictable, plus, it can be switched out of overdrive for a little more sporty feel.
With the extended warranty, plus, roadside breakdown cover, there is no other deal on the market to match this little cracker.
Driving over 34,000 miles per year on business, in a People Carrier, the Rio is a great family car for the weekend.
I would recommend it to anyone.

I have been looking at the KIA RIO, and I was just wondering if your car is still up to scratch? Is it still working well? I thought that it looked like a lovely car and looked very roomy for my family.Although, after seeing the comments I am a bit concerned as a lot of them seemed to have ended up with lemons. I hope I don't :)
