Used Kia Rio5 for Sale

I've owned a KIA Rio5 for about 7 years now, and it has held up very well. I have not had any major issues with it, only normal maintenance such as changing tires, windshield wipers, etc. The fuel economy is very helpful for commuting back and forth to work. It is not ideal for long trips (>100 miles), but I am sure it will still hold up for a few trips like that. The storage space in the back is almost magic, because it will hold much more than it seems. For instance, I was once able to fit in over $600 worth in groceries in a single trip!

The Kia Rio5 is an excellent commuter vehicle capable of comfortably and economically getting you to and from work. While the car is small on the outside, it feels big on the inside. From the driver's seat, the dash board appears to extend all the way to the front of the car, making it feel roomy and comfortable. And the driver seat can be adjusted for height, distance, and tilt. The fuel economy is great, however not quite as great as Kia advertised. No need to despair though! I received a letter of apology from Kia (along with all other owners of the affected models) and I'm eligible for some reimbursement on my fuel costs (based on dealer verified mileage). This usually earns me around $50 every three months, although this amount will obviously vary based on your mileage. The fold down rear seats allow for plenty of cargo carrying possibilities, however the seats fail to fold all the way down, making it difficult to fit larger and awkwardly shaped objects. The car includes jacket hooks in the rear passenger compartment, however their positioning is a bit off, which has lead to jackets partially bunching up on the back seat and getting wrinkly. This isn't a car meant for performance, however it has adequate acceleration allowing for reasonable passing and merging. A bit of body roll will be felt going around sharp corners, however it still feels stable and responsive to input at reasonable speeds.

We purchased this car back when we weren't really looking. The Rio5 is a small car, but it does hold five passengers a little cramped. Four would be far more comfortable. The one thing that has been both a blessing and a drawback is the traction control. Never having had it, it took quite a bit of adjusting to become accustomed to how and why it works. For entertainment, it has the standard satellite radio, plus we can play both CDs and MP3 discs. There's also a plug in for an iPod and/or an iPhone. That is something we don't have, so we cannot use our own devices to load music through the radio. The car does have good pick up, especially in our mountainous region. The gas mileage improves when on the highway, compared to the city or in town. The maintenance costs can be a bit steep if you're not prepared for them because of the fact the parts have to be brought in to our local dealer in order to have repairs done. Overall, it's a good car, one we enjoy very much.
