2012 Kia Rio Sedan Road Test & Review by Drivin' Ivan Katz

Hello Ivan, and fans of the channel. I had to say I took a first hand look at the "new Chevy Spark" it retailed around $16K I'm still trying to find something good to say. 82 HP, UNUSABLE BACK SEAT almost NO room for storage behind the rear seat. The cheapest materials I've seen yet on any car. I went over to Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio for the same money or even less and better MPG AND HP, and a ton more room and MUCH BETTER MATERIALS!

Yes as a fisrt time buyer, im stuck between the rio and the accent, both look good

I like the standard base LX with manual. It half the price of the top model and great as is. 13 grand.

Did you ever think that the Rio of yesterday would become this today?! For god sakes I paid $20K for a Civic EX no Nav, no leather no heated seats, no Bluetooth, no Sirius, no 100, 000 miles warranty in 2007! The kicker? I bought it for the acclaimed 30/40 MPG. not even close the following year they updated the ratings and it was dead on with 26/35. Far cry from 30/40. Way to go Kia!
