I used to get these as rentals fairly often back in the day. Always found them pleasant to drive, and fairly well-equipped for what it was (heated seats, Bluetooth). I also liked the styling on these more than the Accent of the same generation. One negative I remember was a lot of wind/road noise at higher speeds, which would come through to the other side of a phone call when I was on Bluetooth.
I have an 07 accent still chugging along. With normal maintence it’s been a great little car.

This generation of the Kia Rio came out in 2005 for the international market and 2006 for the north american market.
