Price of the Kia Rio: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.6L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 i went in with set price and style i wanted, i got it. insurance was cheap on it.
2008 4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.6L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 The car in base model is very resonably priced in my opinion. Even my LX (ps, ac, am/fm cd) was a great deal. The dealership gave the max. on my trade in (110%) and I drove away with a payment $50 less per month and 2 years less!
2007 4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.6L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 $14K for a car like this is pretty good.
2002 4dr Sedan 96-horsepower 1.5L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 It came with AM/FM/CD, power steering and air conditioning for $6995 for a new car.
