2001 Kia Rio review from North America
"This car is a good deal, I recommend it to anyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The dash reflects on the window when the light shines on it right.
The Air Bag light has come on.
The drivers side manual crank window seem s to shimmy down and make a high pitched sound.
General comments?
The engine could be better, but for its size it's not too bad except for going up hills.
The seats are a bit stiff.
The interior is quite large for its size, and the trunk is huge for its size.
The air conditioner is very good and very cold.
The Rio is not a good car for a family, but as a first car or for a single person it is GREAT.
