Kia Rio (2011 - 2017) 1.25 1 Air 5d (2014/14) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not sure! I love the look of it and it makes me feel young [as I'm a retired person, that's a big plus].

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Most impressed - even my son says he would happily drive one, so it's not an 'old lady' car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Certainly - I really enjoy driving it and it's comfortable and a smooth drive.

What are you likely to buy next?

I don't envisage changing this for some years,.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

May 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

I part exchanged my previous vehicle and I believe I was given a good price for it considering the age.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed a car with height adjustment on drivers seat as I have a problem with my hip and my previous car was no longer comfortable to drive as the seat was too low.

What was the dealer like?

Very helpful and supportive without being pushy - a pleasant and helpful young man.

What's it like to drive?

Very comfortable - almost seems to 'drive itself' On steep hills it does need to change down a gear, but then drives up very smoothly.

What's it like to park?

No problems here, the power assist steering makes it v easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No problems so far although I've only had it for 4 weeks.

What's most practical about your car?

Very impressed so far with the fuel consumption, I live in Devon and even on the hilly and winding lanes, I'm getting more than 51 mpg.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Nothing particular - I just find it all easy to use and understand - the dashboard is not too 'flash'.
