Best Reason to Buy the Kia Rio: Price or payments
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!

Best Reason to Buy the Kia Rio: Discounts & incentives
I could have bought this vehicle for just over $10,000. It had the same options as my Nissan Versa.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Kia Rio: Ride smoothness
It was simply a rattle trap. You could feel every bump. The cornering was terrible when entering the freeway. The suspension and shocks are cheap and the car oversteers worse than any other car I have ever driven used or new.

Other Reasons to Buy the Kia Rio: Fuel economy

Other Reasons Not to Buy the Kia Rio: Handling, Brand reputation & image
