We brought this car because we needed an economical run about. It has proved to be exactly that never had a problem with it. Performance is great, handles well, far better than expected. When you are inside there is plenty of legroom & Boot space. I would have to say I would have no problems buying another one.

The 2017 kia rio is great. Love the reverse camera apple car play. 7 year warranty is the best. This is my 4th kia and won't be the last. The car is very economical. Serving is affordable. Drives well although obviously not super powerful. Drives much better than the hyundai accent I have for work

I bought this car second hand from a dealer after my last car died. Officially converting to kia's! This car rides so smoothly and it's comfortable. It's practical and the boot is massive and the seats are quite large. There's enough leg room and all the electronics work well. This car was well taken care of when I bought it so it's nice to take care of it now

for the money I paid I couldn't be more satisfied with my kia rio
economical to run with low fuel mileage and I know that I have a unique 7 year warrenty to fall back on should I need it
a quite moter with all the power I need and a very stylish interior, it is amazing how much room it has for a small car
the boot is ample and I like the fact that it came with a full sized spare tyre

Kia rio brakes grinding from day 1 need to replace rotors within one year dealer ignores the problem pretending its normal want me to pay 1500 dollars to repair saying thats normal at 20000 km lol I wonder if kia representative AFL mathew pavlich drives his kia with factory fault rotors that are grinding I would hope not / a bit of respect for the regular people would be appreciated for after all we paid for our cars in good faith DONT BUY A KIA you could regret it

I love my little Rio, I would give it 5 stars on the looks alone. Has excellent power and high end speed for a little 4 cylinder the interior looks great and the added Bluetooth iPod connection are great. The downsides are as soon as you turn the a/c or headlights on it seems to suck up all the power from the performance of the car and it also chews through petrol when these are on otherwise it's normally very economical. luckily where I live it's cold most of the year and I do not drive much at night. Also has some bad blind spots and the dash is rather long so vision can sometimes be an issue but all in all great little new car for the price

Just got a 2013 Kia Rio auto and so far so good. It's a fun car to drive, the little 1.4L delivers surprisingly good power and the sports automatic gives it a racy feel. The boot is a bit small but usable and the back seats are a bit crammed if you are tall. It eats through the fuel faster than I was expecting as the fuel consumption rate is suppose to be 6L/100km. In terms of driver comfort the Rio is pretty good with a nice range of seat and steering column adjustments. It also has plenty of modern tech features such as auto headlights, Bluetooth, USB and Aux inputs, hill-start hold and a stylish interior. I have only had the Rio for a month so I can't comment on reliability but from what I've heard they are a pretty good car.

Since new the Rio has had an intermittent problem with missfirering. It has been back to the dealer 5 times and they have not been able to isolate a part that is causing the problem. Finally they have agreed to replace parts but they are on back order so they have had the car a week and it will be 2-3 more weeks without a car, very unhappy!!

Brilliant little car, so comfortable, feels bigger than it is and plenty of head room for even taller people. My only hint would be change the original tyres to a more expensive one, like bridgestone pretenza for example to make it stick to the road and quieten the cabin noise to almost nothing!! brilliant car + the 5 year warranty, you wont go wrong!! They are not the KIA's of old, they have come a long way sine the early days to be something fantastic

This little car has pretty good performance considering the size. Noise wise, it is quite quiet. Handling is smooth.
There is plenty of leg room. The dashboard is a nice height.
The car itself is quite cheap to fill up, around $45 a full tank.
Would recommend as a good first car.

THIS IS A MUST READ TOO THE END! I loved driving my Kia Rio 2015 model! It's amazing to drive, I can boost up the seat to see over the dash board because I am quiet short, cheap to run as well!
I absolutely loved it!
Until I had an accident!
Going 70ks an hour & was hit twice my air bags didn't deploy!
I am so let down!
I believe it does NOT had the 5 star safety rating that Kia claims it has!
i would not go out and buy another one anytime soon, whip lash & other injuries are not worth it!

Just reached 9,000 KM had KIA Rio since May 27th 2015 drove to Gold Coast and Brisbane from Leongatha area and 1 week driving around traffic 2165 KM 146.37 Liters, 14.79 Km per liter or 6.76 Lt-rs per 100 KM, but going back I used E10 for 1,000 KM of a 1,864 Km trip back and fuel economy changed to 7.4 Lt-rs per 100 KM changed back reg unleaded and dropped to 6.5 Lt-rs per 100, so I will never use E10 again proof in the pudding.
43 Lt tank E10 cost 2 cents a liter cheaper saving 86 cents cost in extra fuel 7 litres more fuel, cost $8.20 based on $1.20 a liter.
