2003 Kia Rio sedan review from North America
"I plan on keeping it until it goes to the junkyard and I will buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The check engine light came on at about 2000 miles. It was a faulty spark plug wire.
You can tell someone uses the drivers seat as the fabric is wrinkled and not tight.
General comments?
I am 6 foot 4 and have plenty of room.
Seats are very comfortable.
Hard to get a smooth shift between 1st and 2nd gear. Other gears shift smooth.
