I rented one of these (a 2013 model) and it was suprisingly well-built, peppy, and roomy! It was the more basic model with hubcaps, but still looked quite sharp. I did alot of driving in a week vacation and still had a quarter tank of fuel left. Bear in mind I was driving either alone or with 1 friend, nobody sat in back.

I test drove one of these new in 2012 and was really impressed for what it was. It felt very solid. It was a lot peppier than I was expecting. The interior design was really nice for a subcompact. I ended up going with the Nissan Versa sedan over this. What a huge mistake.

I don't live in the States. The Rio for our market has drums in the back. You have to step up to a Cerato (known as Forte in the USA) to get rear disc brakes

We have the new Sportage and I test drove this Rio since I was considering getting one. I love Kia's new designs and the list of features for the money is the best in each respective segment... the only let down, and its a big one, is the brakes!! Just as seen in this vid, they are not confidence-inspiring at all! The Rio "might" be forgiven for this because it has drums in the back but the Sportage has 4 wheel discs and its the same thing. It was really a let down... decided on a Fiesta instead

The sonic would look better with the giant gold bow tie gone.
Have you noticed on most new cars, no spare tire, you get a can of fix a flat that's fine till you have a blowout or run over something the size of a small doorknob.
Wait for the SX this fall, navigation system that replaces the UVO system push button start ; leather seats, a sunroof, and front seat heating.

The rio does have 4-wheel discs. The fiesta on the other hand, doesn't.

@TheCoolfez style. Accent has more practicality but the Rio5 looks more sporty which I'm sure you heard quite a lot in this video.

I'd take this over the Fiesta or Yaris anyday

looks great, too bad they didn't bring the 3-door

It does, it's in the trunk, but under a lid.

If they think the seats materials are cheap in here what do they consider the yaris' materials to be?

Want a car (2011-2018) for putting an electric bicycle through the hatchback door and room for a dog (lab) as well, so Honda Fit probably makes sense as it has more room. Is the only upside to a Rio that it is cheaper than a Fit?

I have a Jeep Liberty that I'll be paying off in about a month or so & I'm looking to get something more fuel efficient. I'm torn between this, the Sonic, Dart and the new Nissan Versa Note. Help a guy out!!!

I'm surprised at the difference between the MPGs from the US to the UK version of Kia's cars. Kia's 1.6L european engine gets 52.3MPG (Imperial)/62MPG (US). Makes me wonder why they don't just use the same engines world wide.
