Pros: Cheap, adequate, great warranty.
Cons: Lacks basic features. Overall bad reputation. Very low end.
The Bottom Line: At this price level, have a look at Hyundai too. For a few K more, have a look at Nissan or an American dealer.
This has got to be the cheapest cars out there. You can get one for a sticker price of under $8K! Of course, there's nothing in it - no a/c, manual windows and doors, no keypad with buttons to unlock or open things, no power steering, and I'm sure the ...

Pros: Auto trans smooth, quiet even at 70 mph. 36-38 mpg city 42 highway & smooth.
Cons: The Goodyear Eagle LS tires that came on vehicle is very poor. Replaced with Toyo.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend anyone to purchase a Kia product due to build quality, gas mileage, warranty and price of vehicle.
Kia Spectra and Rio has great body designs and interiors are very well designed. Great gas mileage. 36-38-mpg city and 42 mpg highway. My wife and I are both retired senior citizens and have driven Fords for over forty five years. Ford, GM, Chrysler ...

Pros: Fun drive, great economy, very tame/forgiving.
Cons: Just a few more horses wouldn't hurt.
The Bottom Line: This might just be the flagship to put Kia on the map for good.
This vehicle truly represents Kia's coming out. Finally the reputation for cheap parts and shoddy workmanship can be laid to rest. --Appearance-- This is definitely a modern looking vehicle, on par with anything major import competitors can ...

Pros: Cheap,cheerful,fun.,and with a higher crash rating than you would suspect..
Cons: No cons yet.The older Rios had poor paint and thin panels.New ones better.
Drove home with our second Kia Rio,as the first one has over 300,000kms on it,or 180,000 miles,and we were thinking that it might not be the car to do a cross-America/Canada trip anymore.
The old one is still going strong,and will be the workhorse until something big breaks.Hopelessly reliable,it just keeps on going.....The new one has all the bells and whistles,its quieter,faster,and cuter,and I'm suspecting it will be exactly as reliable...
50mpg has always seemed more important than having a status symbol to drive.Cars like the Rio sell by the millions everywhere else in the world,and with good reason...
