2001 Kia Rio LX review from Spain
"Good price, all extras included"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None at the moment.
General comments?
My first idea was to buy a second hand card because the money I could spend on it. But when I saw I could have all I wanted in a brand new car I didn't doubt.
I really mind security in a car and the Rio LS comes with almost any devices I was looking for.
The power of the 1.5 engine is enough for my driving. And in addition the fuel mileage is very near to the announced 7.2.
I had read about two problems: noise and suspension. I have compared them with other cars and found that it is not more noisy or less comfortable.
I use my car daily in the city and from time to time make trips of over 500 km. I think I got a car which is comfortable and modern and I like the way it looks. Also sometimes I need to carry extra luggage and all fit in it.
I think I got the car I paid for.
