Kia Rio (2005 - 2011) 1.4 2 (2009) 5d (2010/10) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Here is a man who doesn't like parting with his cash. Too right.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

What is it? Its got lots of toys! It can't have been that cheap! Seven years warranty? Whats the catch?

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes! It does almost everything that a Focus does at a damn sight less of an asking price.

What are you likely to buy next?

Not even Mystic Meg can see seven years into the future. It will depend on the long term Kia ownership experience

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

May 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Excellent trade in price on a slightly tatty 2002 Focus. Wasn't charged for the metallic paint.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted a new, cheap, roomy, well equipped car with a good warranty

What was the dealer like?

Fantastic, couldn't do enough. Always returned calls, questions answered without hesitation. Longley Park Motors in Huddersfield.

What's it like to drive?

Handling is slighly soggy compared to the Focus, perfectly acceptable though. Returns 40mpg with a/c on permenantly (not bad for 1.4 petrol)

What's it like to park?

Easy

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

Loads of room, well equipped, cheap to run

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The air con is excellent
