 Least favorite feature:

The lack of an available cruise control.

 Advice to buyer:

Dont accept the first offer. Kia will dicker.

 Detailed review:

The Rio performs far better than one would expect from a small car. In fact it has a real tendency to be going faster than is perceived by the driver and until used to the car one must closely moniter the speedometer on the highway. At near 6ft and over 250, I ride in comfort, something that can't be said of a number of purportedly larger compacts.
