Kia Rio MPG-Real World Numbers

New to the Rio dimension.

Written by: iamninja41 on Sep 02, 2008 10:41 PM

I traded in my 2003 Chevy Impala on sunday for a 2007 Kia Rio. I was on the "ehhhh" side about getting a car that small, but i am 20, dont have any kids, and needed better gas milege. So the kia was the cheapest (money wise) and easiest way to go. Turns out i love the car. It is actually pretty comfy, and drives extremely well. I am still getting used to driving it. I am not ...

Kia Rio Hybrid

This is supposed to come out in 2008 or 2009 maybe? They're going through major road testing right now, I guess to get everything right. I think it showed at the Geneva Auto Show, but I haven't seen too much about it. It will be cheaper than Honda or Toyota, so that's a good thing, I guess. I don't know much about Kia, but I feel like their cars have improved a lot over the ... Read More...

What sells Kia (at least for me when I bought my 2004 Rio Cinco)is the 10/100,00 mile warrenty. I have yet had a need to use it at 32,000 miles. I agree about the black molding...on mine it's body colored. I wonder if it could be painted. I have to admit I am attracted to the 2007 styling of the Aveo...but that center dash display has got to go. The Yaris is not for me period. Read More...

the 2007 Toyota Yaris 5-speed Barcelona Red base sedan I'm eyeing right now at my local Pocatello dealer is selling for $14,650 and includes the 15" steel wheel upgrade, several "power package" ugrades in the stereo, battery, larger, level washer fluid reservoir (I know, but Toyota advertises the upgrade like it's something some of their small-car customers ...

Re: Don't think cruise is an option yet on the '06 [b3nut]

Written by: backy on Mar 31, 2006 11:51 AM

I recently priced out a Versa with cruise, ABS, side bags/curtains, A/C, power package, 6-speed tranny, and CD stereo for $13,805. Kia should add that cruise pretty quick. Maybe they will do what Hyundai is doing with the Accent and introduce the 2007 Rio early, with some tweaked options. :) Read More...

the black interiors and I think that black would be a natural for a black '06 Kia Rio sedan. I am amazed how cool a color black looks on this '06 Kia Rio sedan! I have seriously added a 5-speed black '06 Kia Rio sedan, with A/C and competent factory stereo to my futures list. I wouldn't absolutely require power W/D/M's, either. I would need A/C and I wouldn't need ABS, ... Read More...

kb4 mused: "God, that interior color is horrid. What happened to the nice black or grey colors they used to have?" Aside to KR06: Don't take my restated observations personally. I just found it interesting that someone independently came to a similar conclusion (albeit presented a bit less diplomatically) as myself. I figured that the above quote was a good ... Read More...
