I bought the Kia Rio because after quite a bit of research I determined it was best in it’s class in 2008. The Rio has consistently given me great gas mileage, easy drivability on the hills and valleys where I live and also the extremely easy parking ability due to it’s size and manageability. The Rio has great function and durability, and I have not had any problems with it in the five years I’ve owned it. I have had to change the battery and also the stock radio often has the programming stick, but that’s not a big deal. The only con that I really had to change out what that the stock tires seemed too small and so when driving on the freeway I would feel the car was really wobbly and a bit hard to control. The way I fixed that was to buy an all-weather tire in a slightly larger size and it seemed to fix the problem. Overall I have really enjoyed the Rio. I wish that there was more control over the movement of the driver seat as I feel I am sitting too low and far down. If I had more control over the seat movement I would like to adjust it better for lower back comfort.

I think that purchasing the Kia Rio was one of my better decisions!
