Kia Rio5 2009Change

This is a great little car for people who just want something to commute in. We have the 5MT model and it's quite perky! There's room for four adults, but don't take a journey that's longer than three hours in the car, as it isn't built for that. The seats are comfortable enough for a shorter distance, not like comfy armchairs like they are in our Grand Caravan. It's gotten through Albertan winters pretty well and it even comes with heated seats. It's noisy at highway speeds but overall a nice, reliable day-to-day commuter.

Love this car! Great gas mileage, fun to drive, and Kia packed so much in their base model. What other car could I get that came with seat heaters, power everything, and a bluetooth enabled stereo for as inexpensive as this car? Thanks Kia!

Nice city car, roomy for it's size, fuel economy could be better for its class, really good in the city and short distance
No arm rest on passenger seat
passenger seat doesn't fold down all the way to fully utilize the storage thru the fold down back seats.
Not too comfortable on long trips; noisy on highway.

I purchased my Kia Rio5 used in 2010 as a used rental vehicle. Many parts are still stock and the car couldn't be more reliable. The car is great on gas and the tank doesn't cost more than $50 to fill up, even on the most expensive gas days to date.

This car is highly recommended for a small commuter.

I got this car because the salesman said the fuel economy on it was good, well now I realize that's crap & my old 98 Civic had better gas mileage then this car.
