"I would buy and recommend the KIA Rio"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The trailing arm in the rear is cracked. The dealer wanted $900.00 to fix it. I have been driving it for a year like that. Why fix it now!

There isn't a lot of room inside. But it is a smaller car.

General comments?

I drove this car to Ottawa (600 ks away),it was wonderful. Last summer 5 of us drove to Orlando Florida (5000 ks there & back).Very easy on gas. I spent $200.00 US.Can't go wrong there. It was a very nice trip all in all.

It handled the mountains very well for a small car & motor.

I should get that cracked Rear Trailing Arm fixed. If that should snap you will Roll this Vehicle. I hope this helps.
