Kia Rio 2010

5 star review

I brought my 1.5 diesel in June this year and apart from a few minor troubles with the dealer to start with I have found it to be a great little car. It gives 50 MPG around town and costs nothing for road tax in the first year and only £30 from then on. I had a 2.0 TDI Golf before, which was an all singing and dancing model, but at servicing £255 and £445. The Kia costs £135 and £235, a bit of a different! Plus the Kia has a timing chain. The Golf needs a cam belt every 4 years @ £375. Get a KIA and have nice holidays on the money you’re saving.

Kia Rio Strike 1.4 petrol 2010

3 star review

A nice little car to drive on good roads, but on rough surfaces, one wonders if there is any suspension underneath. or if some damping system is missing. MPG is also very disappointing for the petrol engine. The engine however is very quiet and it is good to check the gear selection for this reason. The radio and full size spare wheel are about its best attributes.

Kia Rio 1.4 1 Edition 2010

1 star review

I was due to be coming home from Australia on June 2010 and I had hired a car at Belfast City Airport, on the information ’Budget’ had emailed me (Receipt and other info) it said I was getting a Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec. Got to the Budget desk and they announced that they didn’t even supply the Focus! They were quite rude by saying to me if I had read the small print I would have seen that it said ’or a car of similar size’. So I happen to ask before I got the keys what car I would be getting he said a Kia Rio, I had never even heard of the thing! Checked it out on my iPhone and I almost died! Then I asked what other cars they had and they said a Mercedes A Class 1.6 Blue Efficiency or a Peugeot 308 SW 1.6 VTi. So I asked for either of them cars and they had all been rented out already! So I had to take the Kia, got into the car and realised the boot wouldnt take 3 large suitcases and a pram (we had 2 children in the back!) so we ended up paying for a taxi just to take our suitcases 40 Miles to our home. The car was a disaster, the wiper controls and indicator stalks were opposite each other and it was soo slow I almost had an accident due to the lack of power! I drove the car home and it didn’t move untill 4 days later when Budget phoned telling me there was a 308 SW waiting for me! Never been in such a bad car in all my life!

Kia Rio My11 Graphite 1.5L CRDi 2010

5 star review

My first Kia. Took delivery of the new My11 car on 28/10/10 and to date 18/11/10 have covered just about 700 miles of stop start busy town type driving with two longer round trips included of about 90 miles each. Diesel consumption to date is 11.45 miles per litre or 52 mpg. The car with it’s 81Kw/110PS engine with a torque of 235 Nm or 173 lb/ft @ 1900 - 2750 rpm, along with the overall kit supplied which now includes a replacement of the rear drum brakes with the new solid rear disc brakes as well, is an absolute steal at the price. Take a test drive and see for yourself. Great car for the city or longer journey’s. Highly recommended!

Kia Rio Strike 2010

3 star review

Purchased car in March 2010 after a long wait for metallic silver. Problem with remote door controls which mis-behaved, causing some embarrassment. The problem was rectified after four months without apology. Still getting used to right hand indicator, and the exceptionally hard ride on poor road surfaces. Fuel consumption is disappointing (petrol model). Otherwise considered good value so far. Watch out for the insurance rating.
