Kia Rio (2011 - 2017) 1.1 CRDi 2 EcoDynamics 5d (2011/61) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I have grown up but still want to drive something that looks, and is, fun!

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

Everyone loves it. Neighbours said, "Love your new Audi".

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, great sales service, enjoying my new car. Love the equipment, enjoy driving it, shocked to read the previous review! Especially enjoying watching the average mpg climb towards 70 as I approach the 4000 miles mark.

What are you likely to buy next?

When I come to replace the ageing Renault Scenic I will almost certainly choose another Kia.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

December 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Was offered lots of extra's, eg Diamond Bright. Also got a money back deal if I took out the finance package (only worth it if you pay off the finance after 2 month repayment ban). Saved nearly £700.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Good Economy and Good Looks.

What was the dealer like?

Very helpful, couldn't do enough. Lots of phonecalls after sale to check all was ok.

What's it like to drive?

Very easy. Sometimes the steering is a bit vague, but I always smile when I am driving it and when I am passed by a 'boy racer' in a Fiesta I feel I am holding my own! Acceleration is at best adequate, but hey, when you are after economy this should not be on your wish list!

What's it like to park?

Easy. Blind spot due to thick rear pillars not giving me any difficulties.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing except a flat tire due to a screw in the tyre, can hardly be blamed on Kia.

What's most practical about your car?

We have three children, while not our 'first' car, it is roomy enough for the kids to want to go in the Kia because it is 'more fun'.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Love the sound system.
