When I first purchased my Kia I didn't expect much because it is a very cheap car. However, it came with a 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty so I wasn't too worried. Over all I haven't experienced any really horrible problems with the vehicle and it is still functional even after I have driven it over 150,000 miles. There are a few parts that I have had to replace more than once, and the CD tends to malfunction when it gets very warm outside.

I love the fact that I can drive my car in the city with no problem. My Rio is small and cute but also quite roomy and comfortable inside. Great on gas would be an understatement. My Rio is extremely reliable. I have never had her break down on me. Only had to use jumper cables once or twice, but that is not due to the fact of the car being unreliable, that was a battery issue. The maintenance is extremely affordable. The Rio is a fun car to drive and still looks pretty good body style wise for it being 2017. Last but not least, this car is the best at finding a parking spot in small space, AKA cramped city living. On the con side of the Rio is that it is not a roomy comfortable vehicle for more than 4 people. If going on a road trip maybe 2 or 3 tops. She makes small squeaks and rattles because of age. Material seats also get a bit dirty and require a bit more cleaning than vinyl or leather. The sound system is also not super high quality but I am able to plug my phone in through a cord from the lighter to play music. All in all I stand by this car and would recommend it to a city driver or someone who needs some reliable wheels.
