Very dependable car

I have owned this car for about 8 years and have put very little into it. Great little car with little maintenance. I have only had to do minor maintenance and repair. Not a fancy car but it gets the job done. Very reliable car

15 Years Old & Still Going Strong!

We bought our Rio5 - the dropdown menu will not let me choose Rio5, that's the reason the title just says Rio - new. Coming up on 75,000 miles now and still no major problems. Just the usual wear and tear. My ratings below are what I'd expect from a small car such as this. I'm rating based on the Rio5's class, not against cars of higher class. Performance = only 6 because it loses oomph very quickly going up steep hills. Fun To Drive = only 7 because it is a 5-speed, not an automatic. I find shifting annoying, not fun. But this is subjective. And I must say that it shifts easily, no problems. Maybe I'd be having more fun with it if I lived in a less hilly area!

My Kia just had her 12th birthday and she's still running great!

This was the longest I've ever had a vehicle. She runs great and I've had very few problems with her. The only costs I've incurred owning this car are maintenance such as break pads, fluid changes, batteries and a starter. For a 12 year old car, that is a great value!

Great Car, Great Value

I have a 4 door hatchback and I bought it new. It has been a great car. Gets good gas mileage, maintenance has been minimal, and it is easy to drive. I am thinking about my next car which will be a hybrid or electric. But my present car will be hard to beat.
