Kia Rio Hatchback

I bought a used 2007 Kia Rio with only one previous owner. The exterior was well maintained as well as the interior. Since this is the Sport Trim level, it offers a bucket style leather seats fro both front seats and a normal leather back seats. The interior has a funny styling with fat bulge on sides and the centre console. The exterior has an ugly look with black rubber on all sides. The newer models (2011 onwards) don't have such things anymore. Its very easy to maintain what's under the hood! All parts are reliable and come cheap with quite a variety of choice, as it can also use Hyundai's parts. Seats at the back are foldable. Boot space are adequate to put some pails (if you was your own car) and hose pipe, together with all the stuffs you need to maintain that vehicle. Driving wise, can't expect much. As this is a front wheel drive car, handling is not so good at high speeds with "Floating" Feeling. I have a 16 inch rims btw. Nevertheless, it does the job. Fuel? Don't talk about that... So economical. Even with it's "Not so big" Tank, full tank can give you a week of short travelling (approx. 380-400KM). Overall, it's a good car to drive from point A to point B with good stability and pick up speed on city roads. Long highway routes should be avoided especially when you are not confident at high speeds.... Read More
