2003 Kia Rio Cinco, SW review from North America
"The car is a nuisance, lemon, but good gas mileage, if you have another for when it is in the shop"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dash started rattling and squeaking right away, and still does.
Engine blown, 61000.
Warranty, dishonored.
Lights, not showing trouble.
Lights not working when something is wrong.
Back lift door, sticks, can't open.
Speed control, messed up gas release pedal.
Windows rattle.
It goes on mostly little stuff, not fixed.
General comments?
This car has amazing gas mileage.
But has a lot of stuff go wrong with it.
Back seat is small, square.
Make sure you by it in the right state to get a good warranty.
Take a long time to decide, because it has a lot of bugs.
