Used Kia Rio5 for Sale

The 2012 Kia Rio5 is a great little car. It is very aerodynamic, something I wasn't expecting about it when I first test drove it. The gas mileage is excellent as well, getting as much as 38 mpg highway when cruising at the speed limit. The body shape is an excellent design, the interior seating is comfortable and sturdy. The car is a little low to the ground, giving it a harder ride than other cars the same size and style. It also comes with and iPod/iPhone jack, to charge your iPhone or iPod when out. This is a huge help, especially if the power goes out at home and you need to charge up on the go very quickly. It also comes with SiriusXM satellite radio with several presets for the satellite. The FM/AM presets are numerous as well. The anti-skid is a huge plus, because living in the mountains with treacherous roads it helps when they're wet and slippery preventing the driver from hydroplaning. The car also comes with a temperature gauge, helpful when going into different zones when traveling for long periods. Overall this is a great car with a lot of features that wouldn't be expected on a car of this price. Best choice I made to purchase this one.

I drive a 2009 Kia Rio bought new off the lot in 2010. The car gives a comfortable ride but long drives aren't that great. The seats are comfortable for short commutes but if you're spending a lot of time in traffic or driving more then 30 miles one way I would suggest bringing a cushion or something. I loved the warranty that came with my car. I have only had one major issue with the car and it comes from adding automatic locks after retail (so technically not even the cars fault). The gas mileage is decent I usually average about 29mpg combined highway and streets. The only time the gas mileage goes south is when I forget to change the oil for a while. The car otherwise runs great. I did not have to replace the brakes until 2013 for the back and 2014 for the front. And the original tires on the car lasted me 3 years before I moved to sportier tires. Maintaining the car is really easy I only get oil changes every six thousand miles or when I remember usually once every 5-6 months. I have only changed the transmission fluid once and have never had any major issues with the car. It came with a USB port, an AUX jack, that finally broke after 5 years of constant use and a decent sound system.

The hatchback Kia Rio5 manual transmission is a fun little car to drive. Handles well in all conditions, zippy acceleration. The base model is truly that, including only AC and AM/FM/CD, you'll be cranking the windows up and down manually and holding the door handles to lock it. However, it has plenty of room inside for 4-5 people and the hatchback helps with additional storage. Parts are inexpensive and easy to replace, I've had a mechanic tell me it was easy to work on, which means less dollars out of pocket for labor costs. Four-doors and it's easy access in and out for you and your friends and family. Acceleration is lacking but what can you expect for a 4-cylinder? The gas mileage runs about 28-30mpg city/hwy combined which is pretty good and I enjoy not visiting the gas station often. The Kia Rio5 has been inexpensive to own and maintain which is really all I wanted from a subcompact, non-aspirational vehicle make. The interior cloth has held up exceptionally well, though the steering wheel cover is starting to show some wear (after 10 years).
