2006 Kia Rio SX review from North America
"I love my Rio 5"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing has gone wrong with the car.
General comments?
For an inexpensive car it has a good stock stereo.
The seats are very comfortable and easy to adjust.
I didn't get the power windows and door locks, but the car is easy enough to reach around so this is not a problem.
It is very spacious inside with plenty of leg room.
I like that the storage area in the back has a rack in the back to cover what is in it, but when I had to help my friends move, we found the rack did not fit on the floor like explained, so we had to try to rest that on top of everything.
When the rear seats are folded down there is a lot of storage room.
Car had no problems driving up a steep mountain loaded with two college students belongings and three passengers.
I am used to fast cars and was worried that the 4 cylinder engine would be to small for the car, but the car reaches 90 and I can't feel it.
