Description: Used 2019 Kia Rio S for sale - $13,998, 41,997 miles with Technology Package, Rear View Camera, Cruise Control, Auxiliary Audio Input, Overhead Airbags, Traction Control
Transmission: Automatic Color:Gray Interior Color: Black Average Vehicle Review: (0 reviews) The gas mileage on this car is great, but the tank is pretty small. I had a Toyota Camry before this car that held about 16 gallons. The Rio in comparison holds around 10 or 11. I have to fill up every week, but when I fill up it's only about $20. The only thing I dislike about the car is the acceleration. I knew when getting the car that the acceleration wasn't going to be great, but in order to get up to speed, you often times have to floor it. I have had issues with the engine coils, but Carmax fixed it for a reasonable price. So far I have only had the car a few months, but I am hoping to get at least a few years out of it. Overall, I think it is a pretty good car and would recommend it to anyone looking for a small, fuel efficient car.

Despite it's shortcomings, which are mainly the seats and the suspension, I am still very happy with my purchase. Pros: - Style - Lots of amenities at entry level - Reliable - Better than average horsepower - Economical Cons - Seats are pretty crappy - Suspension is low rent, making for ponderous handling

Okay car for high school/college student

The gas mileage on this car is great, but the tank is pretty small. I had a Toyota Camry before this car that held about 16 gallons. The Rio in comparison holds around 10 or 11. I have to fill up every week, but when I fill up it's only about $20. The only thing I dislike about the car is the acceleration. I knew when getting the car that the acceleration wasn't going to be great, but in order to get up to speed, you often times have to floor it. I have had issues with the engine coils, but Carmax fixed it for a reasonable price. So far I have only had the car a few months, but I am hoping to get at least a few years out of it. Overall, I think it is a pretty good car and would recommend it to anyone looking for a small, fuel efficient car.

Pros

  • Fuel Economy: it gets good gas mileage

Cons

  • Ride and Handling: terrible acceleration

- Aubrey R, 2011 Kia Rio

Very stylish for a sub-compact

I was in the market for a sub-compact and considered all the usual suspects, but I was smitten with the sedan's good looks. In my opinion, it's a sharper looking car than any in it's class, with the possible exception of the Ford Fiesta. Despite it's shortcomings, which are mainly the seats and the suspension, I am still very happy with my purchase. Pros: - Style - Lots of amenities at entry level - Reliable - Better than average horsepower - Economical Cons - Seats are pretty crappy - Suspension is low rent, making for ponderous handling

Pros

  • Styling:
  • Value:
  • Reliability:

Cons

  • Ride and Handling: Vague handling, bumps and potholes will punish your spine
  • Seat Comfort: Super low-grade fabric, wooden planks for upholstery
  • Visibility: Front visibility is great, rear visibility, not so much. Better remove the rear headrests.

- Jon Fleming, 2016 Kia Rio

Very affordable and durable car

This car will save you $$$ on gas, and it does not require a lot of upkeep. Some people will complain about the lack of power, but I have no problem getting this little car up and going on the highway. Also, what do you expect? It's a little Kia. It does its job and it does it well! So far, I've had no issues with the vehicle and I'm hoping it stays that way.

Pros

  • Fuel Economy: This has saved me so much money on gas.
  • Reliability: I have had no issues with this vehicle yet.
  • Value: Incredibly afforable and a great deal.
