Favorite feature: |
Size & Shape |
Least favorite feature: |
It doesn't come with antilock brakes or security system. |
Advice to buyer: |
If you speed, don't get this car. Speeding wears on the slow accelerating engine. Made for work commute, not roadtrips or highways. |
Detailed review: |
I have a 2003 Kia Rio 4 door automatic cinnamon colored sedan. Kia Rio's have a fun, compact look. It handles well and parks very easily. This being my first car it was affordable AND attractive. I have no complaints. I am improving my driving skills in it being as it's a slower, smaller sedan with the look, price, size, and power I desired. It's definitly a girl car and I feel safe inside it. I'm 4'11' so even a honda civic wouldn't be small enough. I feel secure in tight parking lots and comfortable winding through cars changing lanes. U Turns and 3 point turns aka K turns are a breeze. A great pick for short, slow drivers who don't ask for much. Great for work commute, interstate preferably. |
