2004 Kia Rio Review

　　

zzdcar' Expert Review

by the zzdcar Experts

　　

What’s new

　　Alloy wheels are now standard on the Cinco wagon. Lumbar support has been added to the driver seat in all models, and the center console armrest gets extra padding.

　　

zzdcar says

　　The Rio and Rio Cinco are the lowest-priced sedan and wagon on the market, and they feel that way. Buy one only if you must have a new-car warranty; otherwise, spend your money on a nice used car.
