Just bought this car a month ago and haven't regretted my purchase yet. The CVT (Kia calls it their IVT) is super smooth shifting, and paired with the 1.6l engine Ive gotten as high as 53mpg cruising on the highway at 65mph. I would ALWAYS opt for the S trim since its only 600 bucks more and you get the extra rear USB, the 60/40 split seats, the center arm rest with cubby and the cruise control. People who say these cars have poor reliability clearly dont know that Kias are now one of the most reliable cars on the road when taken care of. This thing is a GREAT commuter and it looks a lot better than the Accent (theyre practically the same car since they share the same drivetrain).

@Richard Favreau Kia had a $1000 rebate and a $800 veteran discount for me.

[@evolutionx777]

After driving 14 months & 20k miles in a Rio identical to the one reviewed here: The fuel economy rivals some hybrids. I average around 38 mpg. Its a lot of car for the price and my 6 foot 210 frame doesn't feel cramped in it. The lack of an armrest stinks, but isn't a deal breaker. A flimsy but functional drop-in armrest with additional storage space can be picked up on Amazon for about $50. However the lack of cruise control in the LX is ultimately why I'm increasingly looking for the right opportunity to trade it in on a something with more creature comforts. Otherwise it'd be a keeper. Note to Kia - cruise is something that might have been omitted on an entry level car 30 years ago. At least make a dealer add-on available.
