This is a really good sounding system. Really awesome that you're getting to do so many base systems. The branded ones are exciting but it's also interesting to see how much the manufacturers care about their more budget offerings.

Finally somebody made a review of the audio system!
I was waiting for this since last year...
Thanks a lot, really!

Stumbled upon this series of reviews while shopping for a Rio. Thanks for great content

Proof that it's not always the amount of speakers that matters.

[SKYZO]

surprisingly good! definetly better than my 2015 Renault Clio shitty bass reflex system.

[dylanverkler]

They put a good sound system in it because they know 19 year olds are gonna be all over this car

[AdrianKurian]

Your title has a typo, 😂 why am I one of those guys who always find out stuff wrong in your channel somewhere?

[Trance]

Sounds really full range. Needs more VOLUME though. Signs of a weak amp. I bet this thing would sound even better with an external amp. Crazy how much bass this thing puts out with no sub!

[thedumfuk]

I have the exact same car, and I think it sounds maybe just ok. Going to upgrade several levels

[krivkurdo]

very good video ❤ i enjoy it really thanks man

i wonder how would you rate volvo v40's base sound system (at least i think it's base, i don't know for sure)... it has 8 speakers (2 in each doors), and i think it is really good. Sadly v40s are no longer in production :/

[eTengu]

I wonder if the same audio setup is on the other markets.

[ninaj]

I just bought a 2021 rio hatchback and can't figure out how to adjust the fade from front to back or equalizer. Where the heck are the settings? Lol, help!

[siren_gaming]

What sound system is this specifically

[shanefisher]

Did your rio's temp gage ever reach the middle? Mine never did since new.

[scorpiocara]

What is technology package. What comes with it

[drewmorg.]

Sound quality on this vs. new 2022 civic with bose?
