2008 Kia Rio

Pros: Great gas mileage, handled beautifully, fit in any parking space.

Cons: I wish I bought mine last year.

The Bottom Line: This is an all around safe and cost efficient car. I trust my children in this car. Be smart and get one yourself. You will not regret it.

Review: I went on vacation in California for two weeks and rented a 2008 KIA Rio. I had so much fun with this car. The gas mileage was unbeatable. It was such a nice ride. And it handles so smoothly. I usually avoid parallel parking, but with the KIA, I had ...

Pros: Auto trans smooth, quiet even at 70 mph. 36-38 mpg city 42 highway & smooth.

Cons: The Goodyear Eagle LS tires that came on vehicle is very poor. Replaced with Toyo.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend anyone to purchase a Kia product due to build quality, gas mileage, warranty and price of vehicle.

Review: Kia Spectra and Rio has great body designs and interiors are very well designed. Great gas mileage. 36-38-mpg city and 42 mpg highway. My wife and I are both retired senior citizens and have driven Fords for over forty five years. Ford, GM, Chrysler ...

Pros: Fun drive, great economy, very tame/forgiving.

Cons: Just a few more horses wouldn't hurt.

The Bottom Line: This might just be the flagship to put Kia on the map for good.

Review: This vehicle truly represents Kia's coming out. Finally the reputation for cheap parts and shoddy workmanship can be laid to rest. --Appearance-- This is definitely a modern looking vehicle, on par with anything major import competitors can ...

Pros: Cheap,cheerful,fun.,and with a higher crash rating than you would suspect..

Cons: No cons yet.The older Rios had poor paint and thin panels.New ones better.

Review: Drove home with our second Kia Rio,as the first one has over 300,000kms on it,or 180,000 miles,and we were thinking that it might not be the car to do a cross-America/Canada trip anymore. The old one is still going strong,and will be the workhorse ...

Pros: gas saver
compact

Cons: extremely small
speaker volume a bit low

The Bottom Line:

Buy this car because it will save you lots at the pump.

Review: I purchased this car in May of last year, and I love it. This is really a great car. It saves me a lot of money when it comes to buying gas. I can fill it up on anywhere from $15 to $25, depending on the price per gallon. This car is perfect for high ...

Pros: Cheap, adequate, great warranty.

Cons: Lacks basic features. Overall bad reputation. Very low end.

The Bottom Line: At this price level, have a look at Hyundai too. For a few K more, have a look at Nissan or an American dealer.

Review: This has got to be the cheapest cars out there. You can get one for a sticker price of under $8K! Of course, there's nothing in it - no a/c, manual windows and doors, no keypad with buttons to unlock or open things, no power steering, and I'm sure the ...
