@@xnopyt13 I own a 2020 Honda Fit and regret my purchase. Poor soundproofing, unpleasant CVT transmission, limited driving position for tall people, ugly and overpriced.
@@xuser-l1h I would argue that all subcompacts have bad soundproofing, and most cars have cvt now sadly. I’m not tall so your points are likely valid, but I would say for the price you are getting a very reliable car with a huge cargo space, which is what I want.
for 20k with a lot of standard features, this is why Kia and Hyundai are KILLING it. Lane Keep Assist/Highway Driving Assistant on a 20k car? Count me in. Take note big 3. Only thing they got going for them are Full Size SUV's and Trucks.
The Big Three aren't even competing in this segment any longer. Ford Fiesta and Focus are gone from USA. Chevy Spark and Sonic are also discontinued here. Chrysler...they haven't had anything in this class in many, many years.
I have the Hyundai Accent version of this car, but with a 6 speed stick. The stock tires were made for economy, not performance. Replacing them with Yokohama's on lightweight Mini rims really upped the steering and handling.
We have in Russia Kia Rio with 6th automatic transmission. Very good car. Only if fast turning wheel to he will turning hard( And so cars is excellent! You test drive is very crazy and this greate!
Yikes... that spirited driving section was kinda painful to watch lol. I know a great portion of that is down to the tires but the engine and transmission just did not sound happy at all either.
Honestly I feel the exact opposite. This is an amazing car for someone who treats their cars like they have a grudge against it. Slam on it, hurt it kick it when you are mad and a few years later you are out maybe what would be a down payment for a different car, and you can sell it for scrap. These things are too cheap to criticize lol

Still, i have a kia rio manual from 2015 and the car is solid, fun and cheap....wanna buy new but she is still fun, simple and cost nothing to own....they are great cars! Reminds me of a civic from the 90's....they are gonna hold their value in times!
@@theadvocate4698 From most of the listings I've seen, that is true. The value has stayed around the same price range for years. I have a 14 R10 manual and it's a joy. The plus side is most of the aftermarket for the FS Veloster will also work on the UB. Most of the parts are the same, you could do a 5lug wheelhub conversion if you really wanted. It is the Veloster if it weighed less. And doesn't come with racerboy tax.
@@theadvocate4698 Since you mention it, there's a couple of guys who've swapped the Veloster's 1.6T in the Rio and Accent. Transaxle, wiring harness, etc, one was done with the Veloster Turbo and the other with a Forte5 GT; it would be somewhat of a sleeper.
Previous model looked better in my opinion but lacked in driving dept. Still new Rio looks better than Yaris (aka Mazda 2 after Toyotas botched restyling ) but i would still buy Yaris as its not only fun but its one of the most reliable vehicles ever made period and it will hold value better which is super important in this segment
Like using cucumbers for Dildos cheap like still good though bro like to cash till you try the beautiful thing is it will always be fresh up in there same goes for the car get a air freshener and frikken you're good Bud but as for cucumbers their good to ans cheap and can still eat them after words it's perfect like the car cause it's cheap to could take the cheap car to the cheap grocery store and get sim cheap cucumbers.
Crazy because I’m renting the sedan version right now… incredibly smooth and power is great for a 4 cyl. Can’t beat the price for brand new either
VTEC is better
was it comfortable?
@@asmokingp3005 from what I remember, yeah. Genuinely impressed considering the price.
@@xuser-l1h for sure but it’s also more expensive if you’re buying new
@@xuser-l1h without cvt
The Rio still looks fresh to me
Absolutely love these little Rios. Especially the hatchback.

Now that the Honda Fit is gone this is my favorite car in the segment.
@Jonathan Losito yeah sadly the subcompact segment is dying
Honda Fit is bad and too expensive
@@xuser-l1h what in your opinion is a better subcompact hatchback?

My kind of car. Work 2 miles away and don't go far on my days off. Don't need a tank, really like the Nissan Kicks, checks all my boxes the SR.
Just bike.

Seems like a decent inexpensive car.
Hm. A good practical hatchback.
it’s honestly not that horrible. Yeah it’s cheap inside and outside but it’s built solidly and reliability and tech for what it is is really good
Better build than the Versa and Mirage
@@alpzepta awh that mirage Mitsubishi made is rubbish, why do these anazing japanese brands thinking to make things worse?
Dude you drive like a maniac
Decent hatchback, those poor tires while burning and drifting though ...
The guy was driving wild...

@@fireworkmuffins Or it could be a great car to pass down to a new driver in the family if maintained properly.
When did you turn on the car the chime just reminds me of a Volkswagen
Great. Is it CVT or DCT the transmission? Many thanks!
CVT with a fake shifting mode to make it feel like the DCT.

Good job bro
Ive heard these cars can go 0-60 in around 8.5 seconds but judging by this video that number is more around 10 seconds.
This is perfect car for a big guy like me who wonted Mazda miata, but cat fit in one.
This appears to be a good little car. I just don't know if I would want to pay $20K for it. It seems to have a $15k type vibe.
You're not wrong, the previous gen UB Rio was around $14k-$15k.

I have the previous gen Rio5 ex and I agree about the looks! The interior of the new gen is better of course!
im suprised that car like that exist in usa
I guess it's the economy
😍😍

LOL poor car was murdered by this driver :D
Let's Kia Cerato 2.0?
@@zolinger7030 I'm sorry if it's not clear what I wrote, I just don't know English
why don't you have a 4k camera?
Why would a guy who drives Kia Rio S have 4k camera?
Quiet interior for such a small car
I couldn't do that to my RIO.... 😢
Oh its hatchback rio , I thought is a sedan car
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 let me remind you it's not a GTR LOL
It’s cheap
