"Squishy ride, Mi-Tech, responsive all for under 8grand NEW"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Needed a clutch pedal adjustment within the first 200 miles.

The rest was general matenience.

General comments?

The car cas a pretty fun car to drive. Light and squishy would be 2 words to describe its handling, but overall it was a very responsive car it just lacked suspension sophistication. I ran over a curb in the car and bent the subframe effectivly totalling the car so I wouldn't reccoment it for people that just can't stay away from curbs or other run overable things. I had an old dynasty. I liked that better.

I can back this reviewer up on the point about run "overables", if you cannot keep your Rio on the road and away from things like curbs, guard rails, landscaping, telephone poles, light poles, mailboxes & pedestrians. than the KIA Rio is NOT for you.

If you are of the school that believes a vehicle should be able to run over everything including its own previous model year than might I suggest contacting the DOD and asking them about getting financed on a M1A1 tank, because that is as close as you can get.
