Purchased the car for my daughter. It is standard, no power window but does have AC. This car has performed very well with little problems during the warranty stage, only once into the dealership for a water pump. I have maintained it through the KIA dealership and know has 95,000 miles on it with no major issue. The one problem is 5th gear is too small for Texas Highways the RPMs are too high at 85 mile per hour speed limit pushing up around 5 rpm. At these speeds the car begins to feel a little unsafe. The cars gas mileage has always been great and has maintained the same MPG over the life of the car. It is a really good commuter car for a high school or college student. The downside to having no power locks on a car is people are not used to this anymore and your vehicle is often times left unlocked or even worse you lock your keys in the vehicle.

First off I want to say I love the fact that I can fill my gas tank with $25. I am able to get so much more accomplished due to this car's amazing gas mileage. Although I purchased this vehicle used, I feel as if it runs like new. It is vary clear to see that the previous owner kept up with the maintenance for the car. The model that I have is standard so there is no power windows or doors but the A/C is awesome. I rely heavily on the A/C system now that I'm living in the keys during the summer season. The trunk provides the perfect amount of space for my daily needs, and the interior is also well sized.

I think that my Kia Rio is nice to drive, though it doesn't have much get up and go. The car looks and feels nice, and has plenty of room for my friends and I.
