We absolutely love our car. I find that it handles very smoothly on the roads. So much that I don't feel the bumps as hard with here are no interior rattles or any other noticeable issues when driving. We purchased at 20K miles and have already taken it for a drive across the state. The interior is very comfortable. It is considered a compact car, but I don't feel like it is very compact. It has felt very roomy. I thought for sure by looks alone that I would have trouble getting in and out, but my legs fit with no problems at all. I even have extra space in the front. I climbed in the back with my son, and I still had room for my knees, and I didnÕt feel like it was a monumental task to get in and out of. The design is very sleek and modern, and it made me feel like I got a very nice car. I have received nothing but compliments on both the carÕs appearance as well as the handling. I always expected the Kia name to be very cheap, but I really feel like that is not the case at all. I love the ability to connect via Bluetooth. The exterior is almost sport like, and I wouldn't have guessed that it was a Kia from afar.

I bought the car when my only other mode of transportation, a motorcycle, called it quits. I have bad credit and had to get a loan with a high annual percentage rate, but it was still worth it in the long run. I searched high and low for weeks and couldn't find anything newer than about 2005 and didn't have over 100,000 miles on it. I finally came across this 2016 Kia Rio at a dealership close by for a crazy price. I think it was around $8,500. For a 2016 Kia Rio with 52,000 miles on it, it was a steal. I immediately when to the dealership, took it for a test drive and checked everything out under the hood and was sold. It has become my daily driver, putting 40+ miles on it every single day for the last two years. The only problem I've had is one tire with a small leak in it which I fixed right away. With regular oil changes and maintenance this car has been amazing. I've driven half way across the country and back with it a few times with no problems at all. Not to mention, the gas mileage. I believe my drive with a car full of heavy equipment from San Diego to Dallas Texas, I got an average of 35 miles per gallon for the whole trip. That's pretty crazy for a standard sedan that's not a hybrid. The payments for this car are $230 a month and $80 for insurance. I have never been in an accident or pulled over so luckily my insurance is pretty cheap. Also it being a newer car helps with that as well. 10/10 car, I will probably by another newer one down the road when it's time to get a new car.
