    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

    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.

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

    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!!!

    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?

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

  • @damieg82
    @damieg82 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

    Hey motorweek, I am a college student who is looking to buy a new car but can't decide which car to buy. I am highly considering buying this 5 door rio but is it reliable? I am also interested in the honda fit. Please reply thanks!!

    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.

      Because the way that emission standards are done are different.

    Depreciation on the Ford Focus and Fiesta are far higher than the Kia's though.

    Impressive numbers for that 1.6 motor...
    Civic, corollas and sentras barely get those numbers with their
    1.8 & 2.0 motors...

    This is one of the few vehicles where the sedan version looks better than the hatchback version. Same with Hyundai Accent and Chevy Sonic.

    • @9890jsp
      @9890jsp 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      really? I think the Sedan looks hideous and the hatch better. the rear end on a sedan looks chunky and square. I guess they knew how to style and sell I suppose, two designs for 2 different people lol

    The Honda Fit is the best overall value, and much more space.

    Great review as usual. Hyundai and Kia are kicking Honda and Toyotas ass with technology. The civic doesn't even have direct injection or a 6 speed auto for god sakes. I do find Kia Hyundai have come along way but are getting WAY TO PRICEY and starting to offer less standard features. They offer expensive packages for what people really want, nav, uvo, leather etc and that is where they get you. Not to mention the resale value on Kia Hyundais are still ver poor. In a few years they will beat ou

  • @techdude6693
    @techdude6693 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    18K isn't expensive.. The Yaris, Fit, Fiesta, Sonic, etc. are about the same or more than that. And seriously? GTI? why are you even comparing the two? Shows you don't know anything about cars

  • @isaacaaron4jesus
    @isaacaaron4jesus 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    it's purposedley rigged. Gas is sold by the liter in Europe instead of the gallon so while the car over there is better MPG wise, you still pay more for gas.

  • @nismofury
    @nismofury 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a good car but it seems you have to pay for styling. All the eco boxes are looking better than they have in the past but the higher pricing doesnt justify the means. $18k for this?...who ever figures out to have the lowest price eco box will sell the shit out of them. If chevy sold their sonic at $12k like theyre suppose to no one would bother looking at the others. And nissan wtf are you thinking with the versa?...release the hatchback fast.
