Kia Rio 2004Change

I bought this beauty as a first time car buyer hoping not to have to put much on maintenance for an used vehicle an I got my wish granted!!!

In 3 years I owned an 8 yr old kia, I only had to do the natural wear and tear changes, very efficient in fuel and reliable during winter...the first year I had it it bet big SUVs on a snowstorm by not getting stock ;)

The body of the car is very solid and would take a car impact so the passengers don't

I only used the car as a means of transportation and also useful to transport big items as the trunk is very spacious plus the back seats come forth. Seats comfortable enough but when driving for 12 hrs...not so much, and the style is more of a family camper gateaway...but still veery useful

Three of the things that werequestionable:
1. Speed to start...it would not speed up right away and needed to be gentle
2. Heat would take looooong time to actually warm up
3. the gas pedal would feel forced

I would not have left it if it had not been for a must...recommended..hope the newer versions are as reliable

I had wonderful experience with this car, its fuel efficient, No accidents, Ready on road, no work is needed on this vehicle,

Well this is my second car and it has not even power steering but all in all it has been really cheap to maintain. I really do think i might buy a KIA again in the future. I installed an aftermarket tach as the car did not have on and it is standard transmission.

I have not had any problems with this car, like break downs and such. This car is a great car for people who like to pay less and get more. It has excellent fuel efficiency. The aesthetics for the outside of the car are not as good as many other cars but its still great on the inside. Since its a humpback it is not as good looking or appealing to many people. This car is grey on the inside and has very comfortable seats. My car is silver on the outside though. It can also be other colors.

I love my Kia Its never let me down I do regular maitenance and look after it and it is the best car I have ever owned Kia stands behind their products and I would recomend buying one to anyone who asks
