KIA RIO 1.4 5dr (2008)

The Kia Rio - a good buy!

I wanted a new car on a budget and that's what I got. The Kia Rio has a beautifully low list price and it is an absolute bargain to run. It gets up to 63mpg and is in a lovely low tax and insurance bracket. It's not without faults but I'm really glad I got it.

It's not the best looking car. In fact I'm not sure why Kia didn't just make the Rio look a bit... different. But I'm sure it's to someone's taste. Maybe someone who's particularly fond of eggboxes. It's got a lot of fancy kit in it considering the price you pay for it new, and it's quite nippy.

The Rio is pretty uncomfortable, though, and it's a bit stubborn in its handling. Still, you really get a pretty good deal for your money, and it doesn't seem like the kind of car that's going to give me any problems. A good buy, I say!
