2003 Kia Rio review from North America
"Cute little car within my budget"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet, but its not the time to have problems, I guess :) Let's hope for the best.
General comments?
Being a college student, I was looking for an used Toyota Corolla or Honda Accord. But when I first saw my friend's 2003 Kia Rio; I really loved it at first sight. It exactly fits into my budget and with that price I am getting a NEW car with better warranty! Definitely I can't expect the performance of a BMW for that price! But I am just concerned about the fuel efficiency, with a full tank of gas, it goes around 240 miles : (I will give it a serious thought once the car runs over its break-in period (~600 miles)
