I have a 2014 Kia Rio Hatch. with auto trans.  Love it.  40 mpg on highway and 32 combined .  Very well designed, great comfort even if youre over 6 foot.   One of the best cars ive owned thus far in my life .

just as well its not 'as well built' as a VW, otherwise it would be in the repairs every other week
