2003 Kia Rio review from North America
"Excellent bargain for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had no problems with this vehicle to date.
General comments?
The vehicle is a great bargain for the cost.
The leg room and overall cabin room is lacking, however.
I have had the vehicle to over 120mph and it seems fairly stable on straight roads.
The vehicle is very unstable around corners at any speed.
The vehicle has body roll that resembles the feel of a large truck or minivan.
