So far nothing has gone wrong with the car.
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.
I have the same car - Kia Rio 5 - no power windows, doors - stick shift - I love the size of it, styling and the fact I get 34/35 mpg on a regular basis. the car is suprising quiet and you're right - the stereo is surprisingly good!
Bought a new Rio in June 2006, and so far have no problems - it rides and handles well, is quiet, and surprisingly refined for a cheap car. Don't like the position of the ashtray, though. A carefully thought out and engineered automobile.
