I bought this car last year when the price of gas was going up. I was driving a van that got 15 miles to the gallon. My Kia Rio gets 30 miles to the gallon. It was very affordable. The money I saved in gas paid for the car. The car has a 10 year/100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. My kids love to ride in it. They think it is so cute and cozy compared to the oversize van that we used to drive. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for good value and a car that gets good mileage.

  Kia Rio

  For quite a long time I was looking for a car which is having low maintenance cost, and dependability. Thank god, my Kia Rio meets all the above recruitments. Its a all round family car. It’s really fun to drive this particular car because it’s very smooth to drive. I became interested to buy this car because price of Automotive Gas was going high those days. Probably Kio Rio is among the best fuel efficient cars that are available in the market. It delivers excellent milage, which is up to 30 miles per gallon. Good customer service, reliability makes this car great. Moreover; company gives 10 year or 1, 00,000 mile warranty so you are already tension free. I still remember the day when, we for the first time went out for a ride in this car. It was a wonderful experience and my family really enjoyed the ride because of its smooth performance as compared to my previous car that I owned. Normally BMW, Ford, Volkswagen etc. dominate the all major automotive competitions But I am sure the Kia Rio is going to surprise the jury members for its stunning smooth performance and mileage which is a major part that cannot be ignored. This car has already been Ranked 30 out of 33 in the Ciao Hit list. Although I am very impressed with my Kia Rio How-ever when it was few weeks old I noticed some points Which I would like to discuss here in this article. Its interior and body look gives it a costly car like impression; I found the Leg room in the back of this car is not so spacious. The suspension on the car is a little too hard; the seats are also little hard. For short distance journey it is fine but for longer distance if you want to travel, it may give you discomfort. When load is bigger i.e. car is full with your family it accelerate a bit slowly as compared to have 2/3 persons and there is a shorter leg room. So if you are tall it’s a problem. But it has a large boot space. You can load full if you are traveling with your family.Kia Rio reminds you if you have forgotten to wear seat belt. It has an automatic alarm. This alarm sounds in case you have kept any light on. This Car having excellent security system. It comes with chipped key features. Driver’s seat can be adjusted back or in forward direction. More impressive feature includes that you can move the front or back of the seats as well. In addition its low insurance cost will make you delightful.

  So, to conclude I would say that the Kia Rio is certainly a low cost and all rounder family car and definitely me personally like to recommend the car for my friend and relatives. As I am quite impressed with all the features of the car. This car is perfect for those who are looking for good value and a car that gets good mileage.
