Kia Rio (2001 - 2005) 1.5 SE 5d Owner Review

ADVANTAGES: Inexpensive I paid 500€, enough space inside, everything seems to be simple to fix. I haven't had any problems since I bought it 5 months ago. No oil leak at all. DISADVANTAGES: it does average fuel consumption 24 mpg it should be better than this for this 1.5 l size engine, on the highway it's gets noisy after speed of 120 km/h the engine sounds like it needs shifting to a higher gear. Steering is too soft at that speed. Actually the whole car feels like a feather pass 120. I advice not to go faster than that. OVERALL: If you are low on budget for buying a car, this is the best car you can get for 500-1000€ Good in the city, OK on the highway if you don't go more 120 km/h. You can fit the biggest stroller in the back, or you can fit a bicycle or 2 if you fold the back seats. Your family are not going to hate you for having it, but they are not going to love you over it either.
