2001 Kia Rio Standard review from North America

"A reliable, powerful sub-compact car to accessorize my driving needs"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

To this date, this car has performed extremely well. There have been no problems thus far (and hopefully, there won't be any problems!)

General comments?

This car has proved me correct in my choice to purchase an attractive, reliable, fun car.

The stereo that came in my car, is also very impressive. Not only does it sound great, it's extremely easy to use. The CD player is also a luxury, given the fact that I am in an area which doesn't pick up many radio stations.

I enjoy my Kia Rio, not only because of the excellent performance, but also the appearance. My Kia model is a beautiful gold color. The paint glimmers in any light, which is an absolute eye catcher. The interior is well set out by contrasting medians, which really makes the Rio's interior live up to its spunky exterior.

I am crossing my fingers that the Kia Rio will do well in snow. Although it has a low clearance, I look forward to using it on my daily commute to work, and for leisure purposes... rain or shine, snow or ice.
