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.
Story
I live near the southern Appalachian mountains, I have had many great times driving my car along scenic highways such as the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Great Smokey Mountains Park.
Pros
The first pro is that this car is great on gas. Even though it is already eight years old with a lot of miles on it, I still get about 30 miles to each gallon of gas. Secondly, I haven't had to make any major repairs yet. I expected it to start breaking down frequently once it was past the limitations of it's warranty and it has not. Also, for how cheap it was, it came with power windows, A/C, radio/CD player, and an automatic transmission, keyless entry/alarm.
Cons
I have had few problems with this car. The worst one seemed to be the ignition coils. The factory installed coils burned out one by one after I reached about 75,000 miles. I have had to replace all four of them by now. I don't know if this was due to a manufacturer defect or if that was just the normal time span for the coils to last. The other two things are that the CD player tends to malfunction and read error when the temperature is very hot outside and I have had to replace the passenger side airbag sensor twice. The first time the airbag sensor was covered under warranty, the second ... (more)

2007 Kia Rio - My Kia is an awesome vehicle. She has over 100K on her. I had a 10 year warranty on it but never had to use it. I have not had one single major mechanical problem with this vehicle. Only maintenance oil, tune up, wipers, etc. First off my little Rio still

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 rattl... (more)
Story
Going on a road trip to Washington. Man it was uncomfortable with 4 adults in the car. Don't try it!
Pros
Great for a city driver. Small yet comfortable inside. Great on gas. Extremely reliable (has never broke down on me). Good looking little vehicle. Extremely affordable up keep, oil changes, brakes, battery, tune-ups,etc. Back seat pulls down to make even more room. Fun to drive. Great for parking in small spaces.
Cons
Not the best for road trip vehicle. Makes little squeaks on freeway (due to age). Rubber sidings/bumper fades from sun. Material seats. Music system is not the best. Not the fastest vehicle.
