Kia Rio Review Summary
"The black-plastic trapezoidal mesh grille residing betwixt the angular headlamps looks serious. Directly below, the tall bumper with black plastic whiskers protruding on either side adds a sense of aggressiveness."
"The dash is well dressed, with simple, pleasantly arranged controls in the center stack. Contrasting materials and touches like dual powerpoints convey a more upscale flavor than expected--an impression supported by the tight component fit."
What reviewers liked least about the Kia Rio:
"The automatic hunts endlessly for gears while heading uphill and produces an unpleasant grinding sound at highway speeds."
