Great Get Around Car
I really like this car as a small to almost midsize car. It has automatic transmission with the option of using a manual 1-6 gears that are linked to the automatic transmission. It has a great radio with a CD player in it and optional Sirius satellite radio options. This car gets good gas mileage and has a trip odometer with optional ETA-time and time-elapsed on trips. It has an outdoor temperature sensor and many other features. The color is a scarlet red and looks great. It has an adjustable seat, not just back and forward but also up and down, for the drivers side. The little handle though that controls the up and down has come loose and came off and that would be a drawback on the little car. The windows have a tendency to come down some while you are driving the car. It has power controlled side mirrors which are very handy to adjust. The seats are like the bucket type seats and work good. It has spacious trunk room but does not have a spare tire which is a big drawback. Overall it is a great little car.

Easily my favorite car!
I purchased this car in 2014 and it has yet to fail me. The car gets phenomenal mileage and has yet to dip on the quality five years later. When I initially purchased the car, it had roughly 42k miles. Currently, It's sitting at 132k. The car still drives near mint. There's a ridiculous amount of leg space for people sitting in the front. Unfortunately, since it's all around a smaller car, that means less leg room for the back. Additionally, it does struggle in deep snow unless you put winter tires on. However, once the snow tires on , it handles snow like a pro. The car did have a defect though. There was a minor knock in either the transmission or the engine. However, this did nothing to the performance of the car at all. I believe the factory offered a warranty at some point but I never took them up on it. One of the most appealing elements of the car overall was the price. I only paid roughly 9k for a near mint 2012 Kia Rio with only 42k miles. Replacement tires and parts have all be exceptionally cheap as well. I would absolutely buy this car again and I implore anyone thinking about buying a car to explore the Kia Rio.

Very good and reliable car worth driving and owning.
I own a white 2012 Kia Rio. It is a very nice but small car. I enjoy the way it drives, rides and handles. The breaks on it work very well and are reliable. The overall look of the car is an okay appeal. It doesn't look too good but it doesn't look too bad either, right in the safe middle zone. Horn is a little annoying and whiny for a car, but it'll pass as one. I have had very little problems with the car since I've owned it. The problems I do have are very minor and easily fixed if I were to bother to get it done. It's not an expensive car, very reasonable price on it. The only real problem with it right now is the radio. When you hit bumps it sometimes turns on and off the radio. So, with wear and tear, the car will have some wiring problems, at least with the radio. It's not very fast, but has a high RPM for a 4 cylinder motor. It can get up and move when you need to put the pedal down on it. Overall, it is a very nice and stable car with minor issues and problems and I can say with pride, that I would own another one if given the chance.
