While the steering spring, foglight cover and transmission fluids are being changed, I'm driving this Kia today.

Kia Rio

I had the exact same spare car about two weeks ago when the faulty turbo was being replaced.

I can say for certain that while the Kia Rio a nice car, and has stuff that I love in a car, there are two tiny little things that woul break the deal and prevent me from buying this model:

  1. It's just too small.
  2. The clutch, why do I have to bring my knee up to my chin just for switching gears? Who designed this mile long clutch?

Yeah, there you have it, my "mini-review" of Kia Rio. :)

Als, white is not a good colour for a car. One day of driving after wash, and it is white no longer. One hour, if the weather is like today. ;)

Unfortunately, my car is smaller than this one :) I would like to own car like this! Have a nice day, I hope you will meet with your car as soon as posisble :)

The car really looks nice though, but that is true I don't really like small cars too.

@gamer00,
How about spare parts? This is a Korean car nah? Famous in my country also! But spare parts is rare to find here!

Cheers~

I don't know about Kia Rio, but last time I had to repair my own car, I got Huyndai i10 and before that an old Ford Ka... Even though I am a small girl, I hated them both because I had to drive quite a lot on a motor way.

Err... I don't know how to drive yet so I don't know why you has to come so high because of the clutch but the Kia Rio is very common in Nigeria here. A lot of people use it and it's definitely not the white they use. If I'll use a white car, I'll need a driver for sure..

I can't keep up with all the cleaning. Nice rent.. The car is nice, so enjoy your rent

I had already heard that the Río is very good car, I have to take the bus every day it's a pain in the ass but with luck, they'll soon give you back yours, never miss a chance for a pic. I like the color. White is cooler over here for heat.

Holy elephant how many cars do you have?? Do you have a 12 car garage?)))
Nono I'm driving Kia today. Nono I changed my mind I'll use the helicopter.

Should have gave you a Ferrari :/

Now you're ready to go and search for a very deep and muddy puddle to drive over it with a huge splash all over your car.
That's how manly man always drives his clean car!

Ha! I should've done that, and returned it all muddy when picking up my own wheels. :D

Can't say I've driven a Kia, but I always have so much fun when I have to get a spare while my car is repaired. Sometimes they give you fun cars to drive!

Had a white Toyota Yaris 2 years ago... I miss that car😕

I was contemplating buying a Yaris Hybrid last Summer. I then realized it was way too small and expensive for its size. I'm still on the lookout for an affordable hybrid. I'd actually like a full electric car, but since I don't yet have a house with garage it's likely I'm not going to buy one before I'm filthy rich.

If you like hybrids and want an affordable one, perhaps after a few years when, hopefully, STEEM and other cryptos have grown another order of magnitude in value, may I suggest you purchase a hybrid Lexus SUV. That's space and fuel efficiency in a single package.

You could get a Tesla too. They look pretty cool.

Teslas are pretty cool cars I give you that. I want to at least test drive one some day. :)

wow amazing car indeed and it looks more attractive after the wash, wish you all the best in all of your future endeavors! friend, Stay blessed

Yepp this car too small ... i like Kia Sorento but it is costly than rio.

Excellent photo and Kia Rio are generally a good car, but as you correctly noted, every car has its drawbacks. Thank you @gamer00

A wonderful car its only drawback as I said is its white color should always be washed and polished
Thank you for your participation
Happy day my friend @gamer00

My brother has such a car, only a gray one, and he is very pleased with him, he drives her a great distance and she re-enacted herself perfectly.

I didn't see and use the car before. It's an interesting and you give us a little information about it that's appreciating. :)

Kia Rio looks cool though its too small. Great review about this car :) You said true that white is really not suitable color for car. It becomes dirty quickly

I like hatchback cars thanks for the review of rio.

i thought your choice wasn't intervene at the point of purchase cos i like this ride, so cute like my bae Aston Martin DB11bae.jpg

The car looked very beautiful.

Yeah white is not a good colour for a car! But its look so cool car. I have dream to buy a car.

@gamer00 - Sir this car only comfortable for 4 passengers... I agree with your points that you prevent to buy this car... Sir I think you need to check Toyota Prius model... It also eco friendly Sir...

+W+

We used Kia Rio 2007 for 10 years, the only thing i was uncomfortable, grip point was too high on clutch otherwise it was good car.

Yeah! It's too Small, But cOol :) I also love car in white colOur...!!
You buy this Car, that's AwesOme

how many cost you need to pay for this car.............??

nice car.
thanks @gamer00:-)

yeh exactly white colour is not good for carss due to environmental pollution its can not retain whitening after driving..
i like car in black colour @gamer00

Generally, i like this car, but we all have our own choices, never the less nice pic.

This type of car is good, well chosen

hahaha...black and red is perfect for car color, i thing it's better if they have kia carnival :)

my fav model

White cars have never fascinated me too. But fantasies change too


not bad, but better use it temporary. korean product, short term good, long term sh!t @gamer00

@resteemia

well what did you expect from a KIA clutch.... it's a nice one for city driving and even if you scratch it you don't care cause it's just a KIA

It's a good looking car but it's just too small.

I'm planning to find the review about this act. It's my Habsburg to learn it more about every cars.

This Kia car is superb but color isn't suitable for it. It should be different so that everyone can use it easily for driving. Thanks for making a review post about this car. It helps numbers of people who is gonna read this 😍

How's your weather in your country today??

Awesome car👌 @gamer00.

@gamer00, Yep...Its too small car. But pretty cool and handy looks your Rio car. Nice review and best replacement.
White color always being dirty; but seems smart condition. I love your Kia car. Most stunning mind. Real comfortable.

Good news for got some rent supply your car, Kia Rio is good looking hatchback car. Pure white is best color for me.

Wow....Good looking your car. After Turbo replaced I guess now good running condition.

Is it smaller than Volkswagen Golf?

Maybe, I haven't done a comparison though. It should be in the same class.

Oh yeah, Kia Picanto was the subcompact one. Rio and Golf are both compact, although today's compact is something else than yesteryear's.

Yeah, there you have it, my "mini-review" of Kia Rio. :)

Hahah your mini review gave Kia Rio a 2-3 star rating. Lol. Maybe its meant for short people. IMO
