Kia Rio Usados en Venta

The 2004 Kia Rio may not be the most stylish vehicle on the market, and it may be lacking in some creature comforts, but overall it is a fantastic vehicle for getting around town. I had the absolute base model, meaning manual steering, manual windows, manual transmission, and no AC. The way I figured it when I got the vehicle was the less there was on it, the more reliable it would be, and I was right. In nearly a decade I've had to do nothing more than routine maintenance and brakes. With fuel mileage approaching 40 MPG it exceeds even some of the larger hybrids and while it is considered a subcompact, there is ample trunk room to transport normal purchases. Manual steering can be a pain when parallel parking, but it also increases the fuel mileage and reduces the incidence of breakdown by removing the power steering pump and lines and improves high speed responsiveness. On the highway the vehicle has surprising power which makes for easy merging. Since the newer Kias are no longer available without some of these options, I am trying to make this one last for a very long time and would consider doing major repairs if needed in order to avoid buying a newer car with different options. Overall this is my favorite vehicle that I have owned.

The Rio is a perky and fuel-efficient sedan or five-door hatchback, and as a Kia, it’s a great value. The 1.6-liter four makes 138 hp and drives the front wheels through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic.

The Kia Rio was not my first choice when I was seeking out a vehicle to purchase. I was looking for a basic car that would get me to and from work without any problems and be able to transport my animals and friends/family comfortably across town, and on random road trips within a reasonable distance. Throughout my search, my sights may have been stuck on some of the flashier models. However, given the overall price-point, it became evident that the Kia Rio was the best choice for my very basic needs. Very affordable and a very excellently handling vehicle. My favorite aspect is how durable and dependable this car has been when I have definitely put it to the test!
