2003 Kia Rio review from North America
"A bargain car geared for a younger crowd like myself"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light was on upon purchase of car. Went to dealer stated misfire. Dealer suggested 60k maintenance upon service car developed a miss it has been in and out of the dealer since with the constant miss in the engine. the door handle has broken on the passengers door. The exhaust system has a rattle. There is no pick up at all. The weather stripping on the door and trunk has fallen off.
General comments?
The car has tremendous body roll.
It is a great car for the money.
Dealer service over all has been great could not ask for better dealer servicing.
I get horrible gas mileage on the car with the a/c on.
Overall it is a great car with just a few problems I am hoping to get resolved as soon as possible.
