2006 Kia Rio review from North America
"Good car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The passenger airbag off indicator light does not always go out when someone is sitting in the passenger seat.
The blower for the heater sometimes doesn't work in the low settings - you have to turn it all the way up to 4 and then back it down to the 1 or 2 to get it to come on.
General comments?
Overall I think the car is very good - especially for the money. I can foresee that there will be many repairs in the future, but it has such a good warranty that I won't have to worry about anything for the first 10 years of ownership - by then I will have gotten my monies worth out of it.
