Kia 2011 Rio

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Bought it for the 7 year warranty 7 years ago and not disappointed. Maybe as not as desirable as a Fiesta or a Polo but surprisingly good. Better than the awful Corsa. (Read the reviews from back in the day) Quick enough, and nice to drive with one person in it, but speed did suffer a bit on hills with passengers or luggage. Impressed enough to consider Kia when buying a replacement. Interior did show signs of wear by about 70K miles. Kia replaced alloy wheels under warranty after 3 years due to lacquer flaking off. Overall, served the family well for 7 years.

How reliable do you find the car?

The flap that directs air to the feet detached from the climate control mechanism. Fixed under warranty.
